Three images of the Indians that are recognizable, acceptable and saleable by the West are of poverty, hopelessness and mystery. The flinching of the Golden Globe award and the 2009 Oscar for the Best Motion Picture by ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and the Booker Prize for Literature by Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger have very recently reinforced this image.

Abstract


Three images of the Indians that are recognizable, acceptable and saleable by the West are of poverty, hopelessness and mystery. The flinching of the Golden Globe award and the 2009 Oscar for the Best Motion Picture by ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and the Booker Prize for Literature by Aravind Adiga’s The White Tiger have very recently reinforced this image.
