Cricket in India
Three things are a must if you want to know about India.
1st: Politics
2nd: Cricket
3rd: Hindi films
Recently cricket players were auctioned like paintings and vintage cars. A country where 20 to 30% of the people find it difficult to get two meals a day, a country where corruption is in every field, morality at it’s lowest, terrorist activities in the name of Mao activist, Ulfa activist etc are on the rise the young generation is mad about cricket.This type of circus should be banned by a democratic society or else more destructive society will come out in next few years.
Our cricket team has not won a world cup since 1983 . The BCCI is the Don of world cricket because 80% of money comes from Indian public.
To sum up what they do? read this poem written by no other than Sanjoy kumar Satpathy
some time back.
Paper tiger
*******************
A team of millionaire
A team of blasters
A team of experts
A team of record breakers
A team of models
A team of losers
A team of mediocre
In media they call it team India
You are sixth amongst ten
You are eighth amongst twelve
You are nothing in ICC
You lose every match
But get millions
A run cost a fortune
Your daily wage can build a house
But the rest work and work
As they can’t meet both ends meet
They are called Indian farmers
Players get richer doing nothing
Farmers plough land to get harvest
Workers in blast furnace produce steel
Still they are poor as they are Indians
But you produce nothing but get every thing
You produce tears in our eyes when you lose
But you continue to walk on ramps
Oh paper tigers we had enough of you
Do some thing or perish
Win for the country and bring the lost glory
