Corruption in Cricket? How about in Politics?

with one comment


It is good to see police cracking a whip on corruption in cricket (once again) and all the related inquiries and collecting proofs in no time. This had to happen and in my opinion IPL is more of a reality show.

Now, how about action on corruption in politics? Who dares dies. No investigations, no action.

I remember an Atheistic subhashita from Bachodi:

अश्वं नैव गजं नैव व्याघ्रं नैव च नैव च |
अजापुत्रं बलिं दद्याद्देवो दुर्बलघातक: ||

Not a horse, not an elephant, not a tiger is ever offered as a sacrifice at an altar. It is a baby goat which is offered as a sacrifice. (Alas!) God is betrayer of weak.

Yes, it is none other than the great battle between Hyderabad Deccan Chargers and Bangalore Royal Challengers!!! Ha! ha! ha! What a pathetic game it would be! Royal Challengers should change their name to Royal Physically-challenged. Deccan chargers should rather be called ‘Dhakkan‘ Chargers. They would be fighting each other to secure the safest bottom position in the points table.
