Salaam Bombay – street children in Mumbai, India

admin — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 14:14:27 +0000

Here are three clips from this splendid film about a Bombay street child. In the first we see the hero, young Krishna, working for a circus. He is sent on an errand by the owner. When he returns the circus has left without him. He travels to Bombay, joins a group of street children and becomes a “chaipau”, a tea boy. In the second clip we see him with a prostitute who befriends him and her daughter, who has a crush on him (watch for her charming wink). In the final clip we see Krishna getting stoned in a graveyard with another friend from the streets, the drug addict Chillum.

This is an incredible film and if you haven’t seen it you should make a point of getting hold of a copy. The story of this street child, interwoven with the stories of the other street people presents a magnificent tapestry of life at the bottom in Bombay and is a genuine tragedy. The street children in the film are real street children that director Mira Nair recruited through drama workshops she held with them. Shafiq Syed’s stellar performance in the lead role won him the Indian equivalent of an Oscar for best performance by child.

Proceeds from the film went towards the founding of the Salaam Baalak Trust that has helped thousands of Indian street children over the years since the film’s release. Visit their website at http://salaamstreetkids.org/

The dvd is in Hindi with English subtitles (not, unfortunately, available in these clips.)

Mumbai Blues – India

admin — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 14:30:13 +0000

Sep 2003
The colourful city of Mumbai was once home to a variety of thriving communities but globalisation has left its indelible mark.

The Laughing Club gathers every morning in Bombay to confront the problems of daily life by laughing until they are exhausted. Local prostitutes await the punters who have dwindled away since AIDS and ancient washing community faces extinction since the advent of washing machines

India gun control enabled Mumbai massacre

admin — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 13:21:09 +0000

Sponsor: http://FreeStateProject.org/LibertyForum – When I keyword-searched news.google.com on 11/27/08 guess what I found? ZERO media discussion of India’s draconian gun laws and their role in facilitating the November 26 terror attack on Mumbai. The mainstream media is still failing us, so I guess I’ll have to do their job for them. Note also that the U.S. government is involved in this matter directly, as it trains Indian soldiers.

For non Indophiles….the city of Mumbai is the subcontinent’s financial hub and was formerly known as Bombay. This video was edited 11/27/08 and first uploaded 11/28/08
