Here's a way to punish a corrupt politician: Disgrace the nation

No, this post isn’t about how CWG will bring shame to India nor am I against CWG. In fact this is me venting out my anger which has occurred as a result of the thousand Ban CWG tweets and Facebook updates that I have read.

I am not related to Kalmadi, in fact I haven’t spent a single drop of sweat to make CWG a success. But now I will.

Common man has a problem because they have been cheated and their money has been wasted. The same money, which they saved by bluffing the government by not paying taxes.

CWG is a matter of nation’s pride. Yes, people have screwed up, yes things didn’t work as per schedule, but you aren’t helping the cause. You want to boycott CWG?!? Will that make India shine? Will that remove the tag of a ‘developing nation’ from India? Common Wealth Games will.

Thanks to CWG today, Delhi has a metro. Ohh that reminds me you guys cribbed about that as well. Fine, opinion accepted, go back to your buses guys. DTC buses and auto-rickshaws still run in Delhi. Travel in them. One added info Britain is building a replica of the Delhi Metro.

Who are we mocking: Indian Government, Indian Architect, Indian workers? For an athlete who is sitting in Italy watching news, the suffixes won’t matter. He will mock India and Indians. For him India will be a country who dared to take a huge responsibility and failed miserably. When was the last time you read a caption that said Indian cricket team loses the match, or Indian Hockey team is out of the tournament? Have you ever? NO. It bluntly reads INDIA LOST. Of course we can blame each other for our losses. But that doesn’t change the perception of a foreigner.

When your brother fails in an exam you don't mock him by telling the world about it, nor do you insult your entire family. You help. You find a solution. If you don't, then you aren't the kind I can reason with. (Don't waste your time reading this). If they think the hotel standards aren't up to the mark, or they can fall any day, then lend them your homes. One Firangi per house. Trust me the number of guests will not outnumber the number of hosts. At the end India will be known as a united nation. Let the outsiders know that when the politicians fuck-up the common man rises and ensures that the nation maintains its dignity.

Already a lot of disgrace has been brought to the nation. International athletes are backing out because of several genuine reasons. But, if in spite of all these we do host CWG we will be known as a nation who faced severe problems, yet fought the odds and delivered the needful, juxtaposed a nation who failed.

Yes. Kalmadi has screwed but we can still try. We want to punish Kalmadi so we will boycott CWG? Is it worth? We bring disgrace to a nation which consists of 100 billion people just to teach one man a lesson. Are you guys serious? Common man with no common sense.

I believe in my nation and I will hope that CWG does not get shifted. Most importantly, I will not give up before the war begins.
