It seems that the region is spiralling out of control; 30 years of war in Afghanistan, the NWFP and FATA regions still boldly refuse to be part of the Pakistani state, the state of Pakistan itself in political turmoil, India being attacked by Islamic militants, Maoists and Hindu's attacking Christians, as well as a 25 year war in Sri Lanka that seems far from over after the armies recent excursions. This is a time when we the people need to be aware of what's really happening and we can do this through the power of the internet. I am the South Asian editor for Demotix a photojournalism website and agency that gets your news photography seen and licensed by the mainstream media. This report by Reuters helps to explain what we do: <u>http://www.reuters.com/news/video?videoId=93462</u>.

By that token, the Elizabeth films are Indian because the director (Shekhar Kapoor) is Indian?

SDM is a British-made film which happens to be set in India and I do wish Anil Kapoor would acknowledge that and shut up.</p> <p>Every time Dev and Frieda are asked to dance on TV, in some way it seems that their individual performances in the film have been reduced to this on-demand demonstration of their dancing skills.</p> I’m happy for the actors but Anil Kapoor is really unbearable, going on and on about it being Bollywood’s victory at the Oscars, when it was no such thing.
