Hi, (forwarded message)

Starting on Thursday June 5th, every Thursday through the end of June
Turner Classic Movies will be paying tribute to Bollywood. Every
Thursday
night they will be showing 3 Indian movies, the schedule is below.

Indians are supposed to be the wealthiest ethnic group in America, but
the only Indian on TV is Appu from the Simpsons and he is a cartoon
(reference: The Guru). If we have so much money, why don't we have some
sort
of
representation on TV?

Here is our chance. You need to forward this to all of your friends
and you/they need to watch. If the Indian community can demonstrate the
ability to support things of interest to us, perhaps we could see a
better
representation on TV. Already, ABC has announced that Deepa Mehta (I
think she is the one) will be writing/producing a television show that
has
an Indian family as the 'stars'. Let's support this event by giving TCM
big ratings that night. Then perhaps the ratings will send a message to
TV
Progammers that it pays to cater to the Indian Community.
