And the Golden Peacock goes to.......

If slum dog millionaire won Oscars due to its depiction of the deplorable conditions of slums that exists inIndian cities,I am of the opinion that the films made on the following subjects are eminently eligible to bag our National film awards viz -The Golden Peacock either in the general or in the foreign category.
'
1. A film on the' Stolen Generation ' portraying the harshness of Australians in tearing away the children of the aborigines--[the original settlers of the continent who are living there for the past 50,000 years ] and institutionalize them in the name of civilization.

2.A film on the pitiable extermination of Red Indians who once roamed the American continent freely and the poverty of those who survived to be confined to 'Reservations'.

3.A film on the subtle racism that exists in' Secular 'British society govt, and in the police force.

4.A film on Indian Shikar and African Safari showcasing the hunting spree of the colonial rulers that wiped out to extinction, its once burgeoning wild life population.
