The three Indian movies nominated for an Oscar in the foreign language category were: Mother India (1957), Salaam Bombay! (1988) and Lagaan (2001). Shwaas (2004) as someone really likes to mention wasn't nominated for an Oscar. It was submitted by India with 49 other movies from different countries but did not make the final cut.
No, "Tsotsi" is not the first African movie to win an Oscar. It won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2006, but the first African film to receive an Oscar was "Yesterday," a South African film that was nominated in 2005. Additionally, the film "The Gods Must Be Crazy" was nominated in 1981, although it did not win.
India's submission for the Foreign Language Film category - Stars on Earth (Taare Zameen Par, starring Amir Khan) was nominated for an Oscar.
