If so, they must show proof. The movie is not reflecting India today, it is reflecting a past that we have never owned upto.

Just because the many folks never saw a widow being ill-treated in their neighbourhood doesnt mean it doesnt happen. Go to Gujarat, Rajasthan etc and see how widows are treated worse than door mats in certain communities. And no it is not a economic thing, it is a social thing.

The first thing we as Indians should do is stop pointing fingers at other Indians and start taking responsibility for what is right or wrong.

Personally, I give a rats ass to what non-Indians believe at India. However, in my own eyes I would like to be respectable.

Bottomline: Friends look around and see if we should respect ourselves.
