A few days from now and what ahead stands the long awaited CWG games. India hosting such a big event for the first time would be under the world scanner. So I believe it’s going to be a wonderful occasion to be a part of, luckily. But accompanying such great news are the allegations and reports of corruption, mismanagement and unhygienic conditions in the CWG village. Anyway, things are still ready now. The time has come to taste the flavor of this attempt that we’ve made. Digging out stories from the loop holed organizing body at this moment would serve no constructive purpose. Delhi government and CWG Hawk Suresh Kalmadi organized, renovated and developed a space where we see and appreciate brightly lit stadiums and other establishments. Though money was spent little lavishly but still we have landed safe. We should not though forget the fact that we are living in a Country where nuances are inexorable and where everything and anything is possible.
We no doubt are very good when it comes to organizing big events. Take the example of much hyped IPL which was kicked off in 2008. Lalit Modi spearheading the event put his efforts to make it a success. It was a much talked about event which was compared to other big leagues like EPL, NBA and many more. But what was the outcome Bechara Lalit Modi was suspended and his dream project was handed over to the other person. Same holds true for CWG however none has been sacked here. If it will succeed, people will appreciate his work but if corruption charges prove him guilty, neither Sheila Dixit nor his close associates will save him. He’ll be blacklisted like Modi and his work will go unnoticed. Sheila Dixit looked excited when we got the opportunity to hosting this event. Conventionally that time her promises and demands touched heights than what we are witnessing now. The work which should have been done in the last few years was done in 3 months time. Such is the potential of Indians that we are expert in drilling wells at the time of fire.
On the other end our media has willfully played a pivotal role. It dug out those facts and collected such figures that everyone started biting nails as it was unimagined. For example, lakhs were spent on purchasing toilet papers. See how modern it seems, in a country where 80% of our population lives under destitute and pathetic conditions. We can’t even buy them meals but for foreigners we arrange expensive toilet papers. But India goes rich at such moments incidentally. Ministers and their associates get benefitted from CWG through huge contracts our poor population grows poorer.
But away and apart from every loophole what stands a challenge is to show it to the world that we in spite of stresses can emerge out to be successful. We are a fast growing economy having potential to host any big event as like.The tools that can furnish our desires and undertakings are the instances of citizen participation, citizen appraisal and citizen scanner. After all we are second largest population, producing highest number of docs and scientists in the world. They settle abroad after achieving great positions which is another aspect.For now we have to make it a success either by sitting home watching it on TV sets or enjoying live on ground. Raise the dignity of our country and let whites appreciate our peculiar character. Let’s anticipate Olympic Games in near future! Of course we can!
