Slumdog Millionaire

Libro

==========

Slumdog millionaire is a movie and a book, this movie was filmed in India. In this movie we can see the reality of the Indian people, the way they live, the way that they try to survive in the most populated country of the world. So this takes my attention, the customs of the country. They are totally different customs. In the way they live is something that is kind of regrettable. I would like to write about Indian people and their customs, because we live in the same little world that internet show us lately (since internet, we can see the world that we can know just taking an airplane ticket) but we live and believe in different things.

Something that we can totally sure about is that the Indian culture is one of the oldest cultures of the entire world, specialists say that this culture have more than 4.500 years old. And many people consider the first and supreme culture in the world, and they call it “Sa Prathama Sanskrati Vishvavara”, and there is an organization, call “All World Gayatri Pariwar”.

Don’t step on anything important and if you do, immediately express your apologies.

You’ll encounter huge, swanky shopping malls very close to massive slum settlements that reek of utmost poverty. Many visitors who stay in India leave with a sense of accomplishment, after having survived the initial overpowering shock. For me the people shouldn’t live in the slums, specially the kids, because they won’t have a healthy place to live. They won’t find food, water, or even a good bathroom. The people should try to live in best conditions and offer a better future to their children. If the children live in this way, they are exposed to the bad guys who will want to hurt them. And the authorities wouldn’t help them.

The slums are a custom that for me have to be change, in all the aspects.

All people who visit India can see a lot of children begging for money. This is kind of normal in this country, because as I mention before, a lot of people abuse of poor children. So adult people use children
