Slumdog furore

A twist to the Slumdog story. Hot off the Oscar red carpet, the fabulous theme song to the Slumdog movie - "Jai Ho" - has been purchased by India's Congress Party as its campaign theme for the upcoming National elections. The exclusive rights allegedly cost them millions. A BJP politician, Narendra Modi, used the song at a recent rally in Gujerat. His political opponents in Congress have threatened to sue him for copywrite infringement. Only in India.
