Description:Only virtuous humans are supposed to move in time to meet their happy destiny or karma. The tale of Jamal in "Slumdog Millionaire" is such a case of serendipitous mobility towards riches and love a journey in which good heroes and urban communities respecting solidarity are successfully modernised. Unsurprisingly, the film became tangled in many controversies around India s destiny in the world: the film inserted Mumbai into various financial, political and artistic scenes, increased tourism in its filmed slums, and brought about charity projects in which celebrities and tourist businesses were involved. "Slumdog Millionaire" served as a global example of a developing country s uneven but unique modernisation.This book examines such mobilities of ideas, art, tourism and activism together. In doing so, it reveals the significance of Mumbai as a post-colonial city in discussions of modernity a form of mobile adaptation to new world realities. Tzanelli examines the various agents involved in controversies through multiple virtual and real journeys to India s colonial history and present social complexity, with a view to actualise a post-colonial future, a destiny as the country s serendipitous destination.
