The ministry of sports has sent an angry letter to the organisers of the IPL objecting to bowlers stepping on the word ' India ' contained in the sponsor's logo as they run in to bowl. Apparently this ' hurts public sentiment and is tantamount to showing disrespect to the name of the country'. I would like to remind these hypocrites that millions of Indians walk on India everyday and, because 70% of the people do not have toilets, 700 million crap on her everyday as well. Untreated sewage pours into the Ganga, the only holy river in the world. Indian athletes win nothing because the kleptocrats in charge pocket most of the money. Surely that is the greatest disrespect to India. The only reason that the IPL is such a wonderful showcase for India is because it is private hands and the kleptocrats are dying to get their thieving hands on the billions it generates. So please, please cut the bullshit and crawl back to whatever slimy hole you emerged from. Meanwhile in great political drama our most revered Home Minister, in his ' Harry Truman ' avatar, sent in his resignation for the massacre of 76 CRPF personnel by the Naxals because ' the buck stops at my desk'. As one billion Indians knew well beforehand the resignation was rejected by the Prime Minister. Last month Indian cities were asked to switch off all electrical appliances for one hour to reduce greenhouse gases. In a country where sudden power cuts cause such hardship and millions still use candles surely this is a joke too far even for our criminal thick skinned politicians. I suppose we should consider ourselves lucky not be born in Somalia.
