Politicians in Jharkhand out to prove -democracy is not always the best type of government.

Political leadership in Jharkhand is out to prove that democracy is not always the best type of government. Winston Churchill had said that democracy is the worst type of government except the all others that have been tried. It is time to try some other model in Jharkhand so that politicians over there learn a lesson and start realizing that democracy puts some responsibilities also on the elected representatives and they can not take the things for guaranteed and keep on playing dirty games at the expense of public.

India lacks big event temperament-Exit from T-20 World Cup

It is not short pitch balls alone but it is the lack of strong temperament in crunch hours and in big and competitive events which is the short coming of Indian cricket side. I am sure if there is a world cup in test matches our position will be no different from that in T-20 or ODI. Our unduly great obsession with individual records and habit of giving great importance to the individual stats has landed us in this state where we are no better than minnows in all ICC titles. How will you otherwise explain conduct of our cricket god Tendulkar who made himself available for Bangle Desh tour and 35 days long highly strenuous IPL but withdrew from hardly 10 days longT-20 world cup. Answer is -after playing international cricket for 22 years-Tendulkar knows where he would confront friendly bowling attack that will boost his personal aggregates and where his nerves will be put to rest. Is it not strange that the man whom we bracket with Bradman has not given India even a single ICC title in 22 years? Lesson lies in not attaching great importance to individual records.

IPL CONTROVERSY -STARTLING REVELEATIONS

It was really shocking to learn that while common man pays service tax even for his land line telephone connection BCCI which earns in billions and whose each member leads a princely life is exempt from income tax. Similarly state governments must answer why IPL tickets are exempt from entertainment tax while poor man’s entertainment- theatre movies continue to draw hefty entertainment tax. Needless to say IPL matches are genrally watched on the stadium generally by the elite class only.
