[Assam] From TOI: Re Boyle

[Chan Mahanta]

Allow me to suggest an alternative to whining:

	Get Amitabh Bacchan, the true representer 
of the mighty Indian culture and the super-power
	in waiting, to make a Bollywood film 
about an enemy  Western nation's poverty,
	discrimination, slavery, drug-culture and 
all that is bad in it. Pick any country, as long 
as
	it is Western. Have the plot unravel, in 
true Bollywood style, with some song and dance
	sequence, playing hide-and-seek, say in 
some NY ghetto, where the African American
	heroine, roiled in poverty, drugs, sex 
and violence  will be rescued by an NRI-H1B, 
brought
	home to Pune and made a true desi Bohu 
after being duly converted  at Tirupati , to live
                    happily ever after.

After a few Filmfare and other such awards that 
are the true measures of modern cinematic 
achievements and a refusal to enter in the Oscars 
and other such western, elitist clubs' 
kangaroo-contests, a massive box-office  hit 
across the hinterland of India and all other 
lands where Bollywood reigns,  it would finally 
redeem India's honor.

That oughtta teach 'em Boyles a lesson! That 
would be pulling oneself up by the 
pajama-strings! That would not be begging !!

What do you think :-)?
