We know that the word bollywood itself is plagiarized from the word Hollywood , which is just another area in Los Angeles. There is another place called West Wood right behind UCLA here and , if one investigates into the Geography of Los Angeles County one shall find that there are many more ‘woods’ out here in LA and San Diego. Basically ‘wood’ has an equivalent meaning of Chowk in Hindi.

Hollywood is just another Chowk out here which used to have all the movie shootings going on. Our philum industry also wanted to show off their ’status’ by giving some name which is larger than life. The un-creativity of the Indian mind set in and they chose to give themselves a name by replacing the H in hollywood by ‘B’!!! (B for Bombay I suppose).

This name would not have done any justice to a philum industry which is creative. It simply cannot work that way. BUT since we are not bothered about originality and creativity the name Bollywood, I suppose, is apt for the ‘industry’. Our culture of creative impotence also raises its head in Hindi movies, and is euphemistically referred to as ‘loosely inspired’.

Our laws are loose too, allowing serious lapses and loopholes in intellectual property.

This is a site where one can find more such details of whom stole from whom. I urge everyone who is serious about intellectual property rights to visiit the site and see for themselves.

There is an even bigger and worser tragedy happening which is aptly pointed out by Sakshi on desicritics and it is the sad story of a bigger fish eating a smaller fish.
