I do hate the idea of a mere cricket game being the target of fundamentalism. We as a nation tend to glorify sportpersons, moviestars, and politicians to the status of God. This whole business is a lesson for us that the above mentioned are mere mortals, no better than any of us. Therefore, it is unnecessary to be agitated over losing a mere game, leading to terrible repurcussions like murder. When will our minds develop to such a level that we cease to elevate such people to a demi-god status and then react adversly when the demi-god proves to be a mere mortal? I do not like to express a political opinion unless I am sure of my facts. I am just talking from a soceital point of view, how we could develop as self respecting human beings. I guess Pakistan bashing is the current fad right now, and therefore people are indulging in it. I have no right to judge others when my own country is in such a mess. Let us help in taking action against all these corrupt, dictatorial, self-styled demi-gods who function as politicians in some parts of our country, let us take action against those involved in the Nithari killings. Let us clean up our country from within and then look outwards.
