Past few months a lot has been said and speculated about the CWG games. Daily news papers carry out news about scams &fraud, leading to a common notion that the success rate of the games is going to be quite low. One quite popular argument given is that India is not in the phase where it can effectively organize mega sporting events.
My views differ. In my view the games are a platform to exhibit what India is about to offer in the coming years. I agree that the extravaganza is proving a burden on the country’s finance but a few thousand crores spent today can invite much more later on. Regarding the preparedness, the country would have been in the same state, even if the games were scheduled, say a decade later. Better way to see is that the games are offering a reality check and an opportunity to correct our mistakes and not repeat them in the future.
The XIX commonwealth games is asking us to do just one thing, to believe in it and live one of the most spectacular events India has ever organized.
“Just believe in it” ............. the least we can do...........
JAI HIND.
