COMMONWEALTH GAME WILL BE HOISTED IN INDIA....
When this news reached us , as an Indian our joy knew no bounds.... Every news channels were flashing it as their headlines. Government of India hailed it as their achievement. It decided to organize the event in a grand fashion. It formulated the committee's under one great person SURESH KALMADI.
I am not here to discuss whether he indulged in corruption or not. But see its impact. What shame the scandal has brought to the nation! The Indians who felt joy for bringing in the 3rd biggest sport event to their country felt really bad on it. The corruption scandal may be a fake one. But all the nations around looked us like a worm.
The one thing I admire from Suresh kalmadi is , he stood stubborn in has statement that, he is going to organize the commonwealth games as every Indian expected and going to make it as a grand success.
The thing here is our GREAT POLITICIANS... Wont they have some other issues to draw attraction of the people to get vote. Don't they know this will affect the integrity of the nation.
Will all parties stand united to solve the national issues like:
Nationalizing the rivers? Solving the problem of illiteracy? Solving the unemployment ?
No way.... No way.. Because they are not going to fetch them Votes from the people. Do you know why? The answer is simple....The people suffering from unemployment wont care for illiteracy or nationalizing the rivers and the person worrying for nationalizing the rivers wont worry on unemployment or illiteracy. So it makes the way more simple for the politicians to just TAME us... Yes.. they literally TAME us.
The political parties made this scandal as a international issue. This made the international athletes to boycott the event considering it to be yet an ordinary event. But do they know it reflects a game that comes with common heritage?
Did it stop here?
No.... If it is the case the issue would have been dropped as we did in chain murders and other big issues as we Indians do in the past. To extend the shame it went on like bridge collapse, untidy toilets, no proper facility even to our Indian athletes.
The question is where did we went wrong....
In appointing inappropriate person to organize ? or
In giving tenders to the correct contractors ? or
In maintaining the sovereignty of the nation... I know there is no unique solution for it..
The request is .... At least by now the event have begin as we expected. It is the duty of we Indians to take up the responsibility not to spread the rumors of the scandal among us and spoil the sportiness of the event.
Even if the corruption is true... Let us wait for the completion of this big event . And as usual let the government form a committee to en quire it ... so that by that time we forget that such a thing had happened as we did in past....
