in slumdog, the hero wins by answering a question, 'Who Wrote Darshan Do Ghanshyam', as 'Surdas'. In childhood, he being a muslim boy, was beaten by hindu mobsters to memorize the Surdas bhajan for singing while forced to beg -- this way he knew the correct answer!
But the reality is, this famous song has nothing to do with Surdas! Surdas only wrote in brajabhasha unlike the khadiboli of this song. Even a child knows this.
This bhajan was actually written by poet Gopal Singh Nepal for a hindi film 'Narsi Bhagat' in 1957.
