Even if cricket is included in Olympics, there is no guarantee that India will be winning one all the time. Look at the big neighbor to the north! They took most medals last time (2008) and will probably be #1 or #2 this year. India - in the the name of democracy is doing a mockery of the nation! Yesterday, Swarup Das (Comedian singer - in the Great Odisha Political Circus) said ministers are bears who are after the honey of the government treasury and they will be licking that honey as long as they have that post. I am adding a few more lines to that - once the door to the honey is open, there will be other animals, ants, insects, and crooks and retards who will be licking that honey. That is what happening in India. The people are getting fooled in the name of democracy. I see two solutions:<br /><br />1. Restrict some forms of freedom and have some emergency measure for nation building (what Singapore, Korea, and Taiwan did). If that is not palatable, then<br />2. Employ swat teams of secret police, auditors, etc. whose identity will be secret and they will go after scams, ministers etc. Who will guard them, a select few - with high moral and high patriotism (possible from the defense and other sectors).<br /><br />I do not see much other alternatives as we do not want to be like China.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738809571056614827.post-86037876803938094772012-07-24T13:36:54.436+05:302012-07-24T13:36:54.436+05:30@DJ

ICC was also ruled by the same person a month back.<br /><br />What I am talking about is Sports and not politics. Whats wrong in playing. Emotion is different. <br />After 26/11, our then Defence Minister was talking of attack on Pakistan. That is emotional attack, that could have been done. Even all the population was supporting it. But was that feasible in case of India. For US it is feasible. But for no other country in the world it is a sane talk. No country can afford War. There was a bomb blasts in England and the roots were in Pakistan. Even being richer than US as per density and a permanent seat in UN Security Council like US, England neither attacked Pakistan not talked of attacking it.<br /><br />You only know, we did played after 26/11, that in India, and nobody was talking such things. We, being the people of India, should support sports.Manish Sharmahttp://www.beingcynical.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738809571056614827.post-54921472558818155012012-07-24T13:02:11.485+05:302012-07-24T13:02:11.485+05:30@ Manish

But it was taken litely by media as it was looging as positive aspects of Indo-Pak talks only.<br /><br />Of course, the WC was a tournament of ICC but India being a host country has to invite every country playing in WC, which includes Pakistan.<br /><br />Cricket is just a game which you had to play even with your arch enemies. Here what we are doing is mixing cricket with politics and terrorism.<br /><br />Please note: I am not a fan of Cricket. But I support any sports with anybody and win it for the country, keeping politics aside.<br /><br />To the Anonymous(2nd) above:<br /><br />Yes sir, even I have not talked of a war with any of our neighbours citing certain reasons. And I am also positive on talks solution to all the problems India has with Pakistan. We should be solving with strategic talks. <br />The Cricket Game was an announcement of BCCI for play with Pakistan, and not of Indian Govt. Thus, it is a sporting call rather than a political call. The media should keep it away from politics. But we the people are also interested in media talks of mixing sports with politics. Still when the cricket will show on TV the entire nation will watch with empathy and excitement.Manish Sharmahttp://www.beingcynical.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738809571056614827.post-50704260978848451072012-07-23T14:52:46.436+05:302012-07-23T14:52:46.436+05:30Manish Sharmaji yes we are concerned about 26/11 b...Manish Sharmaji yes we are concerned about 26/11 but we need to have an intelligent solution and not a duh solution.<br /><br />War is a good solution for a country like the US that has drones and can do whatever it wants without much of international pressure.<br /><br />India cannot go to war with anybody in its neighbourhood.

Then why the fuss. I know we should have banned Pakistan forever. But after playing in 2011 and winning we never talked of the same. So why talk now.<br /><br />If we really are concerned about the 26/11 attack then lets ask to have a final battle with them, and destroy them forever. <br /><br />We all know we can do this, but we ourselves never support for such a battle due to certain reasons:<br /><br />1. Our economy will be demolished completely and our own peoples will be dying with hunger and poverty(suicide).<br /><br />2. We know that all the attacks from Pakistan is only through the political class and military. Thus punishing the entire Pak population is wrong.<br /><br />3. We will loose an upper-hand in international negotiations against any nation. Thus loosing the international market as well. <br /><br />The only tme we could have done it was in 1948.Manish Sharmahttp://www.beingcynical.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738809571056614827.post-43732959982294206882012-07-20T11:06:51.459+05:302012-07-20T11:06:51.459+05:30Yes we are divided but which society is not divide...Yes we are divided but which society is not divided?<br /><br />Human beings are racist by nature.

We are divided. Division has been done historically as per divide and rule policy. This is still being done by rulers (read politicians) on many grounds including religions, castes,ethnicity...and so on. And this is evident more at the time of voting. There is very little hope to see any dramatic change in people's mindset and hence any good change. And who will answer your question??

Why waste time and energy on a game that benefits only:<br /><br />1. 12th fail illiterate cricketers who suddenly develop an accent once they enter the big league.<br /><br />2. Fixers.<br /><br />3. Corporates.<br /><br />4. The kind of women who drop their clothes at the sight of a wad of currency or a high end car.<br /><br />5. The cricket bodies.<br /><br />U and me have to slog our backsides for our bread and butter, lick the same boss's backside day in and day out, take the same package tours to the same places, pay our home loans until we retire, ogle and fantasize at all possible women except one's wife who would wear the worst possible things at home but be decked up like a concubine when she goes out, be lucky enough to use her like a sleeping pill at night or use just u know what, and of course be happy with a matchbox apartment or some of u may even have to be satisfied with ur common toilet chawl or slum room.<br /><br />It is the 1 to 5 categories who go laughing all the way to the bank at our expense and we are not even aware that we are being had for most of these games are FIXED.<br /><br />Now why in the world would u want to watch this game!!!<br /><br />As far as Pak is concerned this series is only being planned for votes and u know votes of which kind.

See...This is Rajiv Shukla's mischief. Period!<br /><br />See boss Pakistan is nothing but a part of undivided Punjab and Sind.<br /><br />Meaning the rascals in Pakistan are Punjabis and Sindhis on the other side of the border just as we have Punjabis and Sindhis on this side of the border.<br /><br />The only difference being they are descendants of Punjabis and Sindhis who shamelessly converted to Islam purely for economic reasons or for personal safety reasons and surely not for the love of Islam!!! Exceptions could be there of course.<br /><br />Now look at the Punjabis and Sindhis living on this side of the border. Look at the massive superiority complex that they have. Most of them are bullies! And of course nothing can beat them in cheating in business trade or any other transactional event. I call them Mr. Natwarlals!<br /><br />Take a group comprisinng a Punjabi Sindhi Maharashtrian Bong and a south Indian and more often than ever u will find the Punjabi and Sindhi trying to boss over the others or trying to outsmart the others more often unethically.<br /><br />The DNA of these guys on both sides of the border are same. Possibly the DNA on the other side is a bit more corrupted with Arabic DNA of the barbarians from the west.<br /><br />I am so much reminded of the Pandavas and Kauravas.

From the day I started understanding Ind-Pak relationship, i witnessed many efforts for bringing forward cricketing relationship which actually resulted nothing. You will definitely find some morons arguing that sports is above politics and the spirit should never diminish. Ask those morons and they will struggle to give example of even one incidence when cricketing ties helped relationship between the countries. Just look at what Sahid Afridi said in an interview after worldcup 2011. Do we still need them to come here and play? A word for those morons - there are people who are bigger lover of cricket than you and they lost someone in 26/11. A game with the rouged country is like rubbing salt on their injury.
