Slumdog Millionaire Film

And the Oscar goes to...Slumdog Millionaire!
Every so often a wonderful movie about India wins a series of Oscars promising to finally put the face of this massive culture on the map. 'Gandhi', 'A Passage to India', and now Slumdog Millionaire. But after the initial euphoria, the world eventually goes back to life as they know it. This time, after sweeping the Oscars with eight awards, India's slumdogs are headed back to the slums.
The movie has reached massive acclaim in a very short span of time. Westerners love it as it offers the romance of a rags to riches story artfully crafted by the creative hand of Danny Boyle (director). Indians on the other hand have had mixed responses about what the movie portrayed and the fact that its producers have exploited those who live in abject poverty.
So the question is, did India actually win? Or was it simply a conveinent subject for Hollywood?
