Slumdog millionaire was ok but it's hardly what I would call oscar worthy.  There have been better indian movies.

 I think they're trying to woo the Indian market

the same could be said about Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon and many other films that have won Oscars.  But to be able to be voted on, the first thing that a film has to do is get released to a theater in Los Angeles and New York City.
