Critics mum as CWG Games conclude successfully
This was the best reply to all those, who had nothing but a foul word to offer about the preparations. Most of the criticism was fueled by the national media, but it can be spared a reprimand because its very job is to lift the blinds.
MY HEART swelled with pride to see India conclude the Common Wealth Games (CWG) successfully, despite all the controversies and criticism. This was the best reply to all those, who had nothing but a foul word to offer about the preparations. Most of the criticism was fueled by the national media, but it can be spared a reprimand because its very job is to lift the blinds and bring forth the truth. Foreign media too had its own share of Games bashing, but that again is fine because how could they see a developing Asian country, rise to their level of competence and make big bucks from a sports event they failed to get hands-on. The involvement of local citizens in the aforesaid activities is something that came as a sheer surprise compounded by disbelief. How could they turn a blind eye to the hard work being put into the project?
Sad as it may sound, very few spared the opportunity to criticise the government prior to the Games. This is one big reason why I believe that blogs and the social networking sites are a dangerous thing. People misused these to their heart’s content when the games were nearing; not realizing that what they were doing was sheer treachery.
The views here do not drive the reader to get judgemental neither is it pro-games. Corruption loomed at large apart from other unavoidable reasons, but on the flipside how could we forget that we had been given an opportunity that some of our neighbors could not even dream of. Instead of taking pride in what we had been offered, only the negativity attached with the entire event was highlighted. As far as I know, no country is corruption-free, and to tell the truth, there are many that are doing worse than India.
Well, the said sports event had its faults too and was very much in controversy for various reasons, but most of us are not even aware of it. All I’m trying to say is that blogs and the social networking sites offer us an opportunity to express our point of view, but taking such liberties at the cost of the nation is a disgrace to the citizen’s rights. What we need to realize is that despite all its faults the country successfully pulled off the event. The people of the country should be happy about this, especially because we finished in the 2nd place and at least for a while forget about the “dark” side of the story.
