Oscar-Winning 'Slumdog Millionaire:' a Boost for India's Global Image?
ISAS Brief No. 98 – Date: 27 February 2009 469A Bukit Timah Road #07-01, Tower Block, Singapore 259770 Tel: 6516 6179 / 6516 4239 Fax: 6776 7505 / 6314 5447 Email: [email protected] Website: www.isas.nus.edu.sg Oscar-winning ‘Slumdog Millionaire’: A Boost for India’s Global Image? Bibek Debroy∗ Culture is difficult to define. This is more so in a large and heterogeneous country like India, where there is no common language and religion. There are sub-cultures within the country. Joseph Nye’s ‘soft power’ expression draws on a country’s cross-border cultural influences and is one enunciated with the American context in mind. Almost tautologically, soft power implies the existence of a relatively large country and the term is, therefore, now also being used for China and India. In the Indian case, most instances of practice of soft power are linked to language and literature (including Indians writing in English), music, dance, cuisine, fashion, entertainment and even sport, and there is no denying that this kind of cross-border influence has been increasing over time, with some trigger provided by the diaspora. The film and television industry’s influence is no less important. In the last few years, India has produced the largest number of feature films in the world, with 1,164 films produced in 2007. The United States came second with 453, Japan third with 407 and China fourth with 402. Ticket sales are higher for Bollywood than for Hollywood, though revenue figures are much higher for the latter. Indian film production is usually equated with Hindi-language Bollywood, often described as the largest film-producing centre in the world. -

First Pillar is Economy, an economy that brings Quantum Jump rather than Incremental change. Second Pillar is Infrastructure, an infrastructure that became the identity of modern India. Third Pillar is Our System. A system that is driven by technology which can fulfill the dreams of the 21st century; a system not based on the policy of the past century. Fourth Pillar is Our Demography. Our Vibrant Demography is our strength in the world’s largest democracy, our source of energy for self-reliant India. The fifth pillar is Demand.

The Pioneer Prime Minister Atal
Year 2002 Vajpayee Doublespeak 'GUJARAT BOOSTED SECULARISM DEBATE' December 26 2002 Source: The Pioneer Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee feels that the energy that had erupted in Gujarat needs to be properly channelised. He also thinks that the Gujarat outcome will help the nation understand secularism in the proper perspective. "Ab Shabdon ke sahi aarth lagaye ja rahe hain," Mr Vajpayee said in an interview with Hindi daily Dainik Bhaskar, hinting that the true meaning of these words was being understood now. "Secularism had become a slogan. No attempt was being made to probe what the real form of secularism should be. It was not being debated. Little wonder, we remain fiercely secular for 364 days and launch an election campaign from temples on the 365th day," he remarked. "Unhe Deviji ke mandir mein puja karke abhiyan chalane mein koi aapatti nahin hoti," Mr Vajpayee quipped. He was probably taking a dig at Congress President Sonia Gandhi who had launched her election campaign in Gujarat after offering puja at Ambaji temple. He burst into laughter when asked if his Government, too, was surviving because of "Deviji", hinting that he faced no real threat from the Opposition as long as Mrs Sonia Gandhi remained the Congress president. Asked if the Gujarat episode would help him keep the country united, Mr Vajpayee said, "Ye jo urja nikali hai, use santulit rakhna hoga. Aur ise is yukti se nirman mein lagana hoga jisase hamare jeewan ke jo mulya hain, unki rakhsa ho sake (The energy that has been generated should be kept in balance. -
