World Cup – A Nation’s True Victory?
The crazy world cup fever is back again to India. Round the clock telecast by the media and the spirits going high. But the big question is- “Is Winning World Cup A Nation’s True Victory?”
Does winning world cup make any difference to the people of the country...? Media has been live telecasting about it from past 2 days.., where they are many vital issues which had to be focused upon, nation is gearing up for a mass fast in support of ANNA ji and gearing up for second freedom fight, but none of the news channel focused on it. Apart from these they were many serious issue ignored.
In a recent survey by Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) under the aegis of its Social Development Foundation (ASDF), It was found that drinking in the age group of 16-20 had risen by a thumping 100 percent, an official said. "Youngsters between 16-20 years who consumed one to two liters of beer a week have doubled their consumption during the day-night encounters. The consumption further increases to three to five liters a week when India is playing, the reason for this in the survey was found because of Easy availability of alcoholic beverages, cricket fever, lack of parental supervision, peer pressure, a means to de-stress and unwind are reasons for such an increase.
They have been blatant violations of law after yesterday’s win; Noisy crackers give patients, senior citizens a tough time even though the law says that residential areas cannot be subjected to noise levels above 55 dB. But what we saw on Wednesday and Saturday nights proves that the law was not enforced at all, celebrating such a momentous victory is understandable, but disregard of rules should not be tolerated. Ant law enforcers who do not hesitate to arrest and lathi charge if the people of displaced villages come onto streets for justice, failed to take any action against those who openly boozed on streets and were driving after getting drunked.
It’s good to gear up for a sport but we need to remember the fact that it is just a game. It does not make any difference in our lives. At the end of the day glory of the world cup will be forgotten within few days but the problems faced by the nation will continue, which requires the utmost attention by the media and the people of this country.
