Every year during winters in almost all of north India, especially in Delhi
and Uttar Pradesh many homeless people are getting killed. Not by any enemy or
any other thing, it’s just because of government’s apathy towards the poor. If it’s
wrong can the Delhi government prove that there are not even single death due
to the biting cold of winter ?government proudly announces that it had arranged
night shelters and blankets etc…,if so then why so many are getting killed. This
is the government’s apathy towards poor and needy. The government is only for
the rich and influential. Not for ordinary common man.yes government has always
funds to give prize money running into crores of rupees but no to poor beggars
on road side. Just think one second how many poor people can be fed with the
money Delhi government gave to a wrestler [1 crore ] and under 19 cricketer [25 lakh]. I don’t think this is called as
encouragement.it is wasting of resources.
I don’t negate with the governments concept of recognizing people,
but I seriously condemn the governments over enthusiasm to shower currency notes
on the sports persons. There is also bias in these again they pay only for the glamorous
sports. Mostly they shower their money on already rich and affluent players,
what difference a crore rupee makes to a cricket player who earns crores of rupees
from ad films and other people and organisations. Why public money should be
wasted in the name of achievement. There are many sports persons who are living
on alms, why don’t the government look at them. Even it notices it offers a
meagre help which of no use obviously. A best example is a nation archery winner
from Jharkhand sold her bow to meet her financial needs. International archer Nisha
Rani Dutta, had sold her world class archery equipment because of poverty.who cares about persons like this?is this called equality of treatment in sports.
When there is no money to provide minimum civic amenities to
slums and poor and other marginalised people, what right government has to
squander public money in the name of “satkar”.even though we had a shameful
performance at Olympics the government takes it as pride and announces awards
as if nobody can achieve with great pomp and pageantry .and showered the money rain
on players. Instead of wasting that in that name of “satkar” why don’t government
spend the same to strengthen other sports and sports institutions? It’s our money;
we are feeling the brunt of government in the form of raising oil prices, food prices,
and transport costs. But these are not at all felt by any affluent player as
their accounts are being refilled from time to time by government .what is the
need for any government to a add a bucket of drinking water in a mighty river
or ocean instead they can be served to those who are in need which could be
used efficiently.
For example a badminton player from Hyderabad, last year
signed for advertisements and other contracts worth of 50 crore rupees. It’s
her personal we don’t bother whether its 50 or 500 but what difference it makes
to her when 1 crore rupees awarded by any government. Can’t the government give
her a praise note or certificate of achievement and recognize her? What is need
for Haryana government to gain give her lakhs of rupees money. Likewise can you
show me a beggar in Indian cricket team, if not then why should government
spend so much amount to adorn them after winning every match. Funds and
encouragement should be given to declining sports and marginalised sports persons,
but not to affluent ones. What I strongly believe is no sports men plays for anybody
but for himself being chosen it as career. Money can be earned through the sports
but cannot be squandered by giving to affluent. Encourage a sport or a sports
person till they achieve a stature both financially and game wise. What is the
use in making millionaire’s but not real players. Can you show one single Olympic
medal winner who performed consistently in the succeeding year?
Government rewards only glamorous sports persons with all sorts
of awards whether they deserve or underserve. When people in many states are
not able to eat once a day these players are getting money that runs into hundreds
of lakhs. Where is justice? Why the voice of poor is not heard to deaf ears of government.
Why poor are there even after 65 years of independence. Indian lost the opportunity
to blame the British for all its miseries since the independence, so now whom
to be blamed the people or the people elected representatives….or our entire
system???Whom..??.
Beloved Indian please think about it by keeping your
emotions of “fan”isim aside for a whiletowards your player or actor. It’s for
all of us. jai hind.
