Govt failure & Cricket
by Ram Sharma on Aug 05, 2008 10:12 AM

Two things r responsible for India not getting any gold medal, and getting only one or two other medals. One is govt apathy to games. Most of the politicians r busy in making money, without any interest in sports.

The other is the craze of the countrymen for the useless and time consuming game cricket. This craze has been built by the media over a long period of time. Cricketers earn crores of rupees without any challenge, as very few countries play the game and India is not no 1 even in this group. Whereas players of other games do not get even basic equipments and facilities.
