After the loss against Australia, India is back to normal with
people still hoping for a miracle.
In a way it was good that we lost and people now have come out of
their craze for arguably the most overrated, overpromoted and
overpaid team and are paying attention to real issues.
There is a war on in Kashmir and India has lost 51 soldiers and
officers. They are fighting at a height of 17000 ft. It is -5 to
-30C in inclement weather there. The intruders, 80% of whom are
pak army soldiers, are at the top of mountain and our brave
soldiers are actually climbing those mountains with rope against
the fire.
Some figures that may shock you:
An Indian air force flight lieutenant is paid Rs. 1200 flying
allowance per month and he is supposed to make 40 sorties in aging
Migs. When flying over Kargil at 18000 ft he is just 1000 ft
above intruders armed with American stringer missiles and can
easily be shot down.If he dies his family gets paid Rs. 2 lakh.
The man of the match in any World Cup team gets 3000 pounds, about
Rs.2.1 lakhs.
Yet, they do it. Nachiketa who returned from Pakistan captivity
will be back for action this week. And they do this for whom ?
A person in Bihar has offered 111 coconuts and intends to offer
10001, yes ten thousand one more. A large corporate and BJP
local unit offered prayer at Sidhivinayak temple and distributed
prasad. Youth in Gujarat is on fast.
No, none of the above is for Indian soldiers, its for India's win
in World Cup.
You I am sure are aware as to how important is life of a US marine.
If 5 of them lose lives, all newspapers in US cry as if world
war has started. There are stories of their families and how they
curse US government.
Fl. Lt.Ahuja was killed in cold blood and he was cremated by his
four year old son. The head line in times was about India's
win over England.
And our team can not make 4 runs in 7 balls against Zimbabwe. And
people in India or Indian people across the world still worry
about their performance.
We, the intelligent educated elite have failed this country.
The least Indian cricket team can do is send all the reward and
match fee to army relief fund.
...........The least you can do is forward this mail to every
Indian.
