  • Slumdog Millionaire Vikas Swarup
    slumdog millionaire Vikas Swarup’s spectacular debut novel opens in a jail cell in Mumbai, where Ram Mohammad Thomas is being held after correctly answering all Vikas Swarup twelve questions on India’s biggest quiz show, Who Will Win a Billion? It is hard to believe that a poor orphan who has never read a newspaper or gone to school could win such a contest. But through a series of exhila- rating tales Ram explains to his lawyer how episodes in his life gave him the answer to each question. Ram takes us on an amazing review of his own history—from the day he was found as a baby in the clothes donation box of a Delhi church to his employment by a faded Bollywood star to his adven- ture with a security-crazed Australian army colonel, to his career as an overly creative tour guide at the Taj Mahal. In his warm-hearted tale lies all the comedy, tragedy, joy and pathos of modern India. Vikas Vikas Swarup is an Indian diplomat who has served in Turkey, the United Swarup States, Ethiopia, and Great Britain. This novel, his first, was originally published as Q&A; it has now been popularized as Slumdog Millionaire by Danny Boyle’s award-winning film. Swarup’s second novel is Six Suspects. Christopher Simpson’s first major role was in the BBC miniseries White Teeth, based on the novel by Zadie Smith. He has also appeared in the films Brick Lane, Shameless, All About George, and State of Play. He has made many recordings for BBC Radio.

  • Film Adaptation of Vikas Swarup's Q&A
    Pramana Research Journal ISSN NO: 2249-2976 India’s Real Fiction Meets World’s Popular Cinema - Film Adaptation of Vikas Swarup's Q&A Sreenivas Andoju Dept. of English, Chaitanya Bharathi Institute of Technology Hyderabad, India Dr. Suneetha Yadav Dept. of English, Rajiv Gandhi Memorial College of Engineering & Technology, Nandyal, Kurnool, India Abstract The Indian Foreign Services (IFS) official Vikas Swarup penned “Q & A”, a work of fiction that portrayed the ground realities of Dharavi, a slum in Mumbai. A few years later Danny Boyle adapted the book and created an improbable yet scintillating success making it the best British film of that decade which portrayed Dharavi’s rooftops in the most cinematic technique possible. In this context, this research paper attempts to explore and analyse critically, the purpose and the socio-political connotations such adaptation reverberated by an all new portrayal of Indian story on the celluloid both for the local and global audiences. Amitabh Bachchan commented on Slumdog Millionaire that "if the film projects India as Third World's dirty underbelly developing nation and causes pain and disgust among nationalists and patriots, let it be known that a murky underbelly exists and thrives even in the most developed nations." “(Times of India & The Guardian, 2009) So, what could be the hidden purpose behind such portrayal by Danny Boyle and How were the Indian reactions spoken or otherwise and why? are a few issues that are intended to explore and present in this paper. Keywords: Popularity, Reality, Fiction, Adaptation. Introduction A work of fiction be it a novel or a film is boundary less but when it is viewed from social or political perspectives, there needs a critical debate and clarity.

The paper also focuses on India’s Prime Minister Modi visit, Power Trade Agreement (PTA ) oil visit, Sushma Swaraj visit and constitution problems and its implication on India. Keywords: - Indo – Nepal relations, global security, development and governance, Power Trade Agreement (PTA ) Introduction The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) under Narendra Mod came to power in May 2014 after defeating the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) in the general electi ons. It marked the new era of India’s approach towards her neighbours. After Narendra Modi’s wave, some media members called Narendra Modi the “Shinzo Abe of India” while the westerners fear him as the “Indian Putin.” Many believe that he might emerge as the “Indian Deng Xiaoping.” Time would tell which name suites Modi best. However, Modi has a proactive foreign policy, possibly one driven by economy. Modi promised ‘development and governance’ to the peoples of India during his election campaign and he promised the people of India for the development and governance. The Nepalese economy too can harvest the benefits because it was closely linked with the Indian economy The Prime Minister has persecute, anticipatory, and innovative foreign policy that was aligned with our Government's main goal of accelerating national economic development; and to fulfil India’s global responsibilities as the world's most populous youth nation and largest democracy.
