If our country is our home, this is a skeleton in our closet. Rich and middle-class Indians who make about one-fourth of the country are the most influential people in the country and make the interlocutors with the Western world. Indians do not like to speak about their slums to foreigners and do not like foreigners to speak about them by themselves. Another interesting comparison with the book is that just like the movie, the book is as controversial, especially in India and among middle class Indians and Indians abroad. However it is true to the spirit in which the book was written. The characters even have similar if not same names but it is not the same story. It is based on the book by the same name by Dominique Lapierre, and if my understanding is right has the author's blessings.
