I have not seen this movie nor heard about it. Does anyone know who made it
and when?
I also find it most incongruous that the film should be shown in a programme
entitled "Positive Images of India". From the brief synopsis that Anthony
has given, clearly the film seems to be projecting a negative image of
India.
I am not an expert on the subject. However, I wonder if there is a certain
amount of international comparisons that can be made. For example, if the
film takes about a negative impact of tourism, is this something that has
happened in other parts of the country? And here I am talking about the rule
and not the exception. Any form of development does create negative impact.
However one needs to balance it with the benefits. And those who harp on the
negative impacts should then not complain that job opportunities are not
created.
