Modern Day Nero's Guests

India's Monsoon: It Never Rains

Close to 17,000 farmers killed themselves in India in 2010, a country where close to 60% population is dependent on agriculture for occupation.

Nero was an ancient roman emperor who conducted one of the biggest parties ancient Rome has ever seen. And for the guests to enjoy the beautiful garden, at night Nero brought several prisoners and burned them alive for illumination.* Are we people playing the role of Nero's Guests today?

Nero's Guests is an attempt by Editor of English Daily 'THE HINDU'  P.Sainath to bring to light the cruel reality of India far different from one witnessed in shopping malls and complexes in the metropolitan cities.

A fine piece of direction by Deepa Bhatia, this documentary covers the conditions in which poorest of poor from India were forced to give up their lives and the widespread inequality present in the interiors of this country.

Please take out some time and have a look at the Real India
