The very first post (out of three so far) sings hosannas to Indian films. Wonder why we keep harping on the West Vs India debate. Don't forget, a Vincent Smith wrote a chronological history of India, a Lord Curzon drafted the Indian Monuments Act,an Attenborough first directed a film on the Father Of Our Nation, Foreign Coaches for the country's biggest blockbuster- cricket...and Skippers and Players for our IPL Teams. As a national television journalist, I find this post enlightening to say the least.

Remember the whole Khushboo episode? The truth is, there are plenty of Indian women who have affairs just for the heck of it and everyone knows it, but just as Deepa Ma'am says - all of those women turn out to be vamps! Hypocrites, huh?<br /><br />I haven't seen the Indian versions of these movies, but while we're on the subject of a woman getting married to her brother-in-law, I got reminded of Border Cafe (Iranian). Have you watched that movie Vids?

You might want to have a balanced approach.
