The first thought that comes to any foreigner’s mind when they think about India is elephants, snake charmers and, for the slightly better informed, ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ and ‘Jai ho’. If you’re as tired of these stereotypes as we are, and want to show India as more than just an incredibly colourful movie set then you should participate in this one.
