Boycott the common wealth games

Last night I was force to write down this article and the dedication goes to ankit dixit who unknowingly force me to write once again. Actually what happened on 12^th of Sept. I have been one of the witness of Queens Baton Relay in Daman, so I told this to one of my friend Ankit and he replied very drastically “Ok that Queens Baton Relay-Apne desh ki ijjat k saath khilwad karne K liye ja rahi hai na, right? That was really very shocking for me because I never expected that statement.  So unwillingly I started defending Common wealth games…………our conversation went like this-

Me: We have “Jugad” for everything, don’t worry CWG will be a great success.

Ankit:  Nahi dost jab khel k time per koi tiles ukhad k kisi player k lag jayegi ya Pani barasne se ground bhar jayega to sab jugad fail ho jayega.

Me: Don’t be so pessimistic just wait and watch.

Ankit: Hum iske alawa kuch kar nahi sakte mai in khelo ka prabal virodhi hoon…………bhook aur sarkar se koi suvidha na milne se jis desh me log Maovaadi  ban rahe hain…………..jahan ki 68% abadi garibi rekha k niche rehte hai, us jagah hum arbo dollar games per waste kar k kise dikhana chahte hain aur adhe paise usme chand logo ne kha liye.

Me: Mere bhai whatever the case be then too we are better than most of the world iconic country’s in terms of economic condition and the pace of GDP.

Ankit:  per dusro ko dosh dekar hum apni kami nahi chupa sakte, ye sab kehne ki baat hain abhi India ko un countries k barabar ane me 50 years aur lag jaynge.

So at last I prefer to quit the conversation, because “you cannot fill anymore a already filled glass”. But after this conversation I was into the deep thoughts, even same thing (as my friend said) was said by one of the very famous writer of the books like “Five point someone” etc………. Even he crosses all the limit and appeal to whole Indian population that let’s boycott these games. But any one of us ever thought about what if we chooses to boycott CWG, it’s not about an individual or two, it’s about our nation pride, there are some 15000 people (Players and delegates))from abroad are coming to India from 75 countries across the world, and perhaps thousands of others to see these common wealth games. So this is one of the big opportunities - To create right Identity of India in foreigner’s minds. Opportunity to show them India is capable enough to handle these kinds of mega events, opportunity for the young Indians to prove their mettle in CWG and win some gold medals, Opportunity to support your own countries players live in your own land. Government is already facing a lot of problems and has lot of things to be settle down before this event and don’t raise one more prob by boycotting games.

I would like to share one of the real incidences of my life when I was working with Max India Ltd. Then around 4 tons of material got rejected due to some quality problem, everyone was afraid of losing his/her job especially people from quality deptt. Then one of the senior manager came into company and looked the terrified faces of the employee, and said “Are jab rape ho raha hai, aur tum chah kar bhi kuch kar nahi sakte to enjoy karo na yar.”  Now the ball is in your court, decide and do what is best for India and you.
