What this country needs is a sporting renaissance not a sporting extravaganza which does nothing to alleviate the root cause of public dismay and apathy. Patriotism has long been an alibi for blatant corruption and unabashed loot of taxpayers' money.
I pray with fervour for a mass failure of the so called Games which the country never needed in the first place.
May the mud and slime of embarrassment splash across the face of the incumbent administration and guilty be brought to the book. I am not being a cynic but a realist. Misplaced patriotism romanticises the whole issue and covers up the guilty.
I request others to see things as they really are 8% GDP growth or 5 crore Rehman creation does nothing to fix the plague. Politicians know how to drown the cries of the common folk through the national anthem and most eat from their hands as the bigot media moves on to the next story.
Ii feel rose tinted glasses is the last thing India needs and by the looks of it INDIA seems to wear it every time a national issue gains precedence.
Where are the records of the 1 lakh crore worth of black money which Pranav Mukherjee promised to bring to light? Why do we suffer from amnesia when the country gets raped by goons in khadi. It is not about BJP or Congress or Left or Right wing ideologies.
Its about the system that is rotten beyond repair. The moral fabric of the country is in ruins. I am offering the flip side of the coin expressing my apprehensions through a different perspective without targeting India and my brethren.
China took a decade long sabbatical from international sports to hone its sports infrastructure and the result was its huge golds tally and its podium finish at Beijing. The games and the euphoria around it is a product of the feel good factor gimmick that politicians use to distract the common man when the basic sporting culture is reeling due to bureaucratic bottlenecks and nepotism.
Manipur, Kashmir, Naxalism, Floods, Drought, Hunger and Inflation is what needs immediate attention not pompous celebration of loot by the incorrigibly corrupt.
Though I mean no disrespect to the athletes and all the volunteers and hard working individuals and wish them luck for what they worked for but still I completely condemn the farcical CWG which does nothing to strengthen the sporting DNA of the country but appears to be an appeasing endevour of a govt with misplaced priorities.
It is akin to Mayawati's show of grandeur of maniacal dimensions. Ii pray that may God give insight to the common man, the middle class which bears the brunt of narcissistic agendas everytime middlemen use national pride as their excuse. Remember my brothers 'Patriotism is the last resort of the scoundrels'
As i write this i feel my national pride exit my system like sand through fingers. We need statesmen, real administrators, countless more Shridharans [The Metro Man] to salvage whats left of the nation. I pray that happens sooner than later.
JAI HIND!
