First, Rubiana Ali and Azharuddin Mohammed Ismail, both 9 years old, starred in an Oscar-winning motion picture. Now they are appearing in real-life soap operas. The paparazzi are everywhere, as are reporters who want to talk to the kid stars of Slumdog Millionaire. Their lives are making the gossip columns and headlines in their native India — and overseas. Azhar was reportedly slapped by his father when the boy, begging fatigue from traveling back from the Academy Awards in Hollywood, refused to give an interview his father had apparently promised. (Both were penitent afterward: Azhar said he had been "naughty," according to the Times of India, and reiterated that his father loved him; his father said, "I feel sorry now.") Meanwhile, Rubiana is supposedly in the middle of a custody tug-of-war between her biological mother and the stepmother who raised her. India's Minister of Women and Child Development has expressed concern over both cases.
The various parties promising to look after the two Slumdog children — including the movie's director, Danny Boyle — might benefit from the experience of the Salaam Baalak Trust, which was formed to look after the kids who were part of another Western-financed movie made in India. Set up by the producers of Salaam Bombay!, the trust looked after the welfare of 27 slum children who were part of Mira Nair's film about Mumbai street kids, which was nominated for a Best Foreign Language Film Oscar 20 years ago. With several thousand dollars raised at the film's premiere, the trust provided the children with an education and a safe place to live, as well as medical treatment and counseling. Says Sanjoy Roy, a founding member: "We also supervised their investments and, till the age of 18, the way they spent their money. We arranged for vocational training for some." But despite the best efforts of the trust, says Roy, most of the children took to petty crime. Two of the cast died — one from an AIDS-related illness and the other in a motorcycle accident. (See pictures from the life of Slumdog director Danny Boyle.)
Hansa Vithal, the only girl in the Salaam Bombay! group, has married and now lives in Bhayandar, a western suburb of Mumbai. Meanwhile, Shafiq Syed, the lead child actor of the movie, led a roustabout life for years before ending up as an auto-rickshaw driver in Bangalore. Syed gave an interview to an Indian paper the week after Slumdog's Oscar victory, saying, "I roamed the streets of Mumbai, knocked on the doors of producers for nearly eight months, but luck did not smile. In 1993, I returned to Bangalore and began life anew. I've three children who are studying." He said he is writing a screenplay and hopes it will get made into a film someday. (See what life is like in a Mumbai slum.)
Roy counsels that while the producers of a movie "have a moral obligation to ensure that the kids benefit from their involvement with the movie, [they] cannot be held to ransom if the children are unable to make it in their lives." Almost everything, says Roy, depends on an individual child and how he or she matures after the spotlight shines elsewhere. The problems begin almost immediately. "When a slum child becomes famous and comes into money," says Roy, "all sorts of relatives start coming out of the woodwork and laying claims on the money and alleging all sorts of things." To that end, the Salaam Baalak Trust tries to ensure that resources and efforts are spent on education. It also has under its care a boy named Salim who played the role of Jamal in the film Little Terrorist, which was nominated for an Oscar for Best Live Action Short in 2004. Says Roy: "He has immense interest in theatrics and dance. But we made clear to him that he needs to concentrate on education first, and then we will help him hone his interest in acting and dance."
That did not turn out to be a good idea. Says Sissel, referring to Barnad by his current name: "If you give young kids in the slums money, then they do not see it. The mother took whatever I sent to Bernard. Toys were sold. Books were sold. Cash was taken. They lived in such desperation that she did what she had to do to survive. His mother's boyfriend was burning him with cigarettes. A rat bit him in his sleep, and he became infected. Horror stories that do not end."
Slumdog director Boyle and the film's producer, Christian Colson, have said that resources will be made available to pay for Rubiana's and Azhar's education until they turn 18. A "substantial lump sum" as well as housing will also be given to the children when they complete their studies. The producers have also arranged for a rickshaw to take the children to a nonprofit English-language school, Asheema, for the next eight years, just to make sure they attend. Already there are signs of new affluence in the kids' slum dwellings. Rubiana's house was reportedly fitted with a 32-in. LCD TV screen and a new gas stove.
As heartwarming as the story of Rubiana and Azhar may turn out to be, it must be balanced against the heartbreak of so many other slum kids from Mumbai and the immensity of the problem they represent. According to India's most recent census, the country has 115 million kids out of school. Many millions of them, it can be inferred, make their lives in the teeming and desperate streets. And they have no Hollywood protectors to help them.
Residents of the Indian metropolis of Kolkata (formerly Calcutta) are taking loud exception to a sequence in The Avengers that has The Hulk's alter ego, Dr. Bruce Banner, played by Mark Ruffalo, hiding out in the city's slums and treating lepers there.
"Kolkata has a rich culture and heritage, and a filmmaker should respect that," Bollywood star Rituparna Sengupta, who lives in Kolkata, told the Hindustan Times. "There are two scenes about India, and they only show slums. It could have been done in better taste."
Slum stars, a film based on kids who dwell in the slums was promoted by it's starcast in Chandigarh. Produced by Audio Lab Media Corporation Forward Films Chandigarh, this one is a Hindi movie, shot primarily in Punjab.
Slum tours are often designed to raise awareness about the living conditions, struggles, and achievements of the residents. They seek to challenge stereotypes and provide a more nuanced understanding of the complexities of slum life. Tours are typically led by knowledgeable guides who are familiar with the area and can provide context, history, and personal stories. They facilitate interactions with residents, which can be eye-opening for visitors.
They will then watch youngsters play cricket on Mumbai's famous Oval Maidan, where they will meet representatives from three charities before interacting with kids who live in slums around India's financial capital.
On a recent trip to Mumbai, India, I took a tour of Dharavi, a slum located there. During the tour, which was a very eye-opening experience, I witnessed health hazards, inequality, and an area clamoring for solutions. This piece narrates my observation of the working and living conditions of people in Dharavi, and the problems and social injustices that they face. It explains the measures that Reality Tours, and its sister non-governmental organization (NGO), Reality Gives, are taking to alleviate some of the problems. Ultimately, the required solution to the problems facing those in Dharavi would be multifaceted, but further research and taking small steps can alleviate specific issues in this slum. This is an academic research article, and its purpose is not to judge the people, area, or organizations in India; rather, it aims to provide one viewpoint on a potential for positive change and development in this area.
On the other side of the world, I live, work, and study in the comforts of a clean and safe college environment, and I see that the inequality that exists in Dharavi begs solving. The problem that exists in this and other slums is multifaceted. The first problem that I saw was the extreme overcrowding and overdevelopment of the land. The different factory rooms were all adjacent to each other, with operating machines leaving little extra space to navigate through the factory safely. Narrow alleyways zigzagged like a maze through the residential area, with the one-roomed homes tightly packed close together. Often, residents build second floors upon the already overcrowded first-levels, to rent to those looking for a living space. In combination with the population density within Dharavi, and the overcrowded, narrow streets, there is a potential for compromised safety in terms of building accidents, or motor vehicle and pedestrian collisions, on the narrow streets.
An overarching problem, the elephant in the room, is of course, poverty. Poverty exists in this slum, like many areas of India. Without economic security, families do not have the means to afford safe living areas, and may have no choice but to work in the hazardous conditions and under harsh, unfair labor practices. Support for the poor is a problem that is seen worldwide, and individuals and families often must choose to focus on having a secure job, and a stable income to afford necessities, rather than the environment in which they are living in. be457b7860
