Well said and agree that Cricket is religion for India. But it now no longer the sport but CRICK-CAT. When the half of the Indian die devoid of food and minimum cloth to cover from the hitting ray of the sun..India Govt. is trying hard to solve the game of gambling in the highly protected AC rooms.
Like any other religion cricket in India has become abusive and exploitive. The B-grade bollywood heroines who are unsuccessful in their stardom and businessman came down together to launch another religion called as IPL. Sick of it enough. Cricket is no longer a sport to enjoy. But it is more about money, luxury, women and gambling...
I had no problem the cheer leaders jumping & dancing with the half cover clothes unable to cover even the private part in the big stadium, infront of lakhs of spectators but the way they have been portray reminds me of those girls who were hired to dance in "mujra" in front of the kings and his ancestors in the old times, though I witnessed such custom only from the hindi movies. The radio jockey has already bang my ear with announcement like "more music more cricket". I wish to eat some sleeping pill and sleep to tolerate my cab mates and their aggressive talks on cricket in every 3 hours of office journey.
Well, that's my problem of hating something which looses the root and origin while being meaningless of such amendments. That's what cricket is which has no link to sport now. It has link to politics, gambling, women till the filmistan extending up to the ramp, mingling with the models. I wish the govt and the financers give 2% interest to the rest of the sports. It’s so shameful that India can't even enter the world cup. While the other players who pursue other sports end up their career in the police force, naval force and terminate their career unable to show their talent.
Referring to my own state Manipur, sport is just a break free game for us. There won't be a single boy in a family who doesn't know about football or any kind of game. But we live amidst the guns and grenades devoid of proper diet, clothes and facility and can't grow up to the international level. Seeing the cricketers walking on the ramp and advertising as a brand ambassador agitated more.
Above all the loopholes, I'm very proud of the sport persons from Manipur and NE states. Despite of all the difficulties they face including politics and ignorance by the people here they still shine and show their talent to the world....
This is just a hope, remnant with us for looking ahead in the small state like Manipur where the price of the rice is higher than the price of the bullets...
