Slumdog Millionaire, the Oscar-winning movie, faces a defamation suit for allegedly wrongly crediting the bhajan'Darshan do Ghanshyam' to the blind poet Surdas. It is being claimed that poet Gopal Singh Nepali, had written the song for the film Narsi Bhagat. Nepali’s children have filed a civil suit on grounds of defamation/loss of reputation of their father and the violation of an author's moral rights. His daughter Savita Singh even described the act as sahitya ki chori(theft of literature).
