Insult of our flag shows our poverty.

In a national insult the Indian contingent at the winter Olympics at Sochi in Russia had to parade without the Indian flag because our Olympic committees insist on electing criminal politicians as officials. A Supreme Court appointed panel has found Gurunath Meiyappan guilty of betting on cricket matches and passing on information about the team during IPL matches. " Roots of corruption and malpractices have crept in deep into the game of cricket, more particularly the IPL, and are seeping into the game at an alarming rate," the report said. But in a gesture of supreme contempt for fans and for any propriety and ignoring massive conflict of interest Meiyappan's father-in-law, N Srinivasan has got himself elected chief of BCCI which governs cricket in India. This will give him the right to represent India at the ICC. Why are sports bodies in such demand for the crooks? Because it gives them the opportunity to roam the world on our money and at the cost of our athletes. At the summer Olympics in Britain our wrestlers had no physiotherapist but there were 5 officials for a team of 3. Tiny Jamaica won 4 gold, 4 silver and 4 bronze for a total of 12 medals at the London Olympics alone while India with 1.2 billion has won a total of 20 medals in 21 Olympic Games. It is constantly amazing how these people are so completely without shame or self respect that they cheerfully bring dishonor to the country for some free trips and free food. Because these people have the mentality of beggars they have reduced the people to beggars by doling out freebies with taxpayer money which has brought down growth to less than 5%, increased inflation and seen a fall in consumer spending. Not sure of sales foreign companies are refusing to invest. The FAA in the US has downgraded India's aviation safety to grade II from grade I which will hit our airlines. In response our fellows are going to increase inspection of foreign aircraft which land in India. If they have so many technicians why did they not make a better job of checking our aircraft and if they knew that dodgy aircraft from other countries were landing here why did they not take any action before? A poor country is easily disrespected. Will the US or the EU try the same with China and why not? Because they make money in China. So China can kick back. It is so humiliating to be an Indian. All because of our politicians and civil servants.
