Election and IPL

IPL, the most popular reality show in India is overcast by uncertainty. Why? Because time period of IPL and Parliament General Election coincides. Only the time period, not the dates!! But several state governments have disagreed with the IPL schedule to host the matches in their states due to security reason and the home ministry of central government has asked the IPL Committee to alter the dates accordingly. The state governments have already informed of their helpless condition to provide security to the IPL matches and cricketers, as all the security personnel will be engaged in election. The political leaders need security and they are much more important persons than cricketrs for the 'welfare' of the country. "Once parliament election has been declared, nothing is more important than that" - we have already received such strong message from Election Commission of India. Of course. We, the common people, know election is the most important stair to the politicians to attain their salvation. Election is the most vibrant occurance to show the power of beurocracy. So nothing must not be more important than election.
Definitely, from cricket point of view, IPL is nothing but a open market auction show where cricketrs are used as commodities and their value depends on their performance, only. That's a different question. But, we can't deny that IPL has brought a different type of ammusement. People got refreshed in the evening after having a tiring day session in their work field. Others may agree of differ with me, but to me, it was a great recreation. In the present situation, IPL may not be on stage this year. If so, we, the people of India will be deprived due to another fruitless election.

Election Again......

Another Parliamentary Election is forthcoming. Again some uncanny political alliances have been surfaced. Again the rat-race for Primeministership has been started. Again, we all are going to elect 543 hon'ble Members of Parliaments. Out of them, criminal activities have already been recorded against a considerable number. May not be majority, but almost touches the half-way mark. The whole world will be proud of this second largest 'democracy'. We will feel a great pride for our 'democracy' as the whole world will appreciate this. After the election will be over, the leaders of the political parties will invite each other at breakfast table, or lunch, or dinner, a new form of alliance will be formed, widely differ from pre-poll alliance. We, the common people of India, the proud people of the second largest democracy, will see "The Great Indian Tamasha". After formation of the next government, the leaders of the oplitical parties in power will give thanks to us for supporting them, whereas, a large number among us, may be majority, may scare with surprising look at them that we caste our vote against them!! We should be proud of our 'democracy' where, democracy means opinion of the minorities.
We all, along with the whole world are facing a phase of recession. Isn't it? A huge number of job-cutting is gradually spreading the shadow of uncertainty throughout India. We really don't know who will be the next? Our hon'ble ministers are requesting the company CEOs for cost curtailment, not job, as they know unlimited job cutting may force them to face tough situation. And in such situation? An extra burden of Rs. 1200 Crore will have to be borne by Indian. Officially. None knows the upper limit of unofficial expenditure for election purpose. Unlimited amount of Telephone calls, Unlimited amount of paper works, unlimied usage of vehicles and fuel, unlimited usage of electricity, unlimited usage of materials for election campaign - really there is no limit of expenditure. In which country? Where only 42% of total population use piped drinking water (don't know to what extent it is safe), where infant mortality rate is 57 per 1000 live births, where only 41% of female of age group 15-49 are illiterate, where only 43.5% of total children of age 12-23 are fully immunised, where only 44.5% have access to toilet facility, where only 41.4% can live in pucca house.
Just think. 62 years have gone after independence. We are in such election process since 1952. Another parliamentary election is forthcoming......
