WHY FORGIVE THEM
by Atal Advani on Mar 29, 2007 12:13 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

why are these shameless cricketers gettin police protection what have they done to deserve such high security with the help of tax payers money ....why should India forgive these shameless people who ruined indias name in te world and then they are roaming around with heads held high.....i think such high security should not be provided using our money...the politicians,cricketers,media are all brothers of the same immoral mother called GREED and they are all thrying to protect each other but let me warn you the day the PUBLIC TAKES MATTERS IN THEIR OWN HANDS all you immoral cricketers,politicians and media will suffer a painful end
...I must thank rediff from the bottom of my heart to provide someone a platform to put my views in .....this is a very dignified process for bringing change in India...this platform is the one that provides me the stage to express myself ....lets me practice my fundamental right to expressing my views on BCCI and i thank rediff ......this is what makes India the greatest country in the world ...freedom of expression, democracy ....this is why I love india so much and feel bad when the BCCI villans go abroad and have fun with our money and then not only cheat us but disgrace us.

dont think self respect of indians is so weak that it will get destroyed if the cricket team loses... neither will the world suddenly hold india in very high esteem if india wins the cricket world cup..... Intel just announced that it will open a $2.5 bn plant in China.... would india have got this plant if we had won the world cup of cricket?? incidentally china does not play cricket and neither does the US.. Incidentally US is not the cricket or football world cup winner... does it in anyway destroy the self respect of Americans...???

all this is good for argueing but let me tell you Brazilians are respected the world over for their football although its a 3rd world country and half of the country is under poverty....in simple terms if you have lived in a forign country you will see that forigners continiously make fun of india for not finding 11 decent cricket players out of 100 million people .....and they kow that cricket is religion in india ....so they will think that india is a country which loses to bangladesh how can it compete with the developed country in business art sport ...they they lose respect for us ....they lose respect for ghandhi, buddha and the millions of true national heros from this great nation

i do live in a foreign country and ppl here do not care if india wins or loses the world cup... they do no even know if india plays cricket... and frankly around 30-40% cannot place india on the world map... when the indian PM comes here, it is page 6 or page 7 news in a small right hand corner.. the respect business has for india is totally due to the talent of indians...pls do not link the self esteem or achievements of millions of indians to a cricket team which does not play for India but plays for BCCI, a private cricketing body...
