To demand that Boyle help the poor children of the slums in Mumbai is not the answer to their poverty. Instead, let the movie, Slumdog Millionaire, serve as a wakeup call to India's government to create programs that will elevate the poor from poverty, and thus, exploitation. Eradicate extreme poverty, and bring the poor to the next social and economic level. Among indicators of change could be a sanitary toilet structure, a school system where teachers don't hit their young students (thereby hurting their self-esteem at an early age), and a common (clean)water system that will serve as washing, drinking, bathing and many countless purposes for the poor poor class of Mumbai. These infrastructures, physical as well as moral,suggested here are just few start ups, among the many things that can be done to the poor of Mumbai, and elsewhere in India.
