Is Cricket is so much important 4 INDIANS ???






A few weeks ago, I read something that made my stomach churn. The Times was
reporting :


India's tour of Pakistan could be worth $20 million.


All it will take to wipe out the Pakistani Cricket Board's huge losses is one
visit from the Indian team. I repeat...in just one visit. India's tour in
March-April is expected to rake in huge financial gains for the Pakistan Cricket
Board.

I am one of the biggest cricket fans you'll ever meet, but something about this
deal is just not right!!!

Why the stomach churn?

Sadly, Indians are ready to play cricket with the perpetrators. But, before they
do so -- let us acknowledge what they're choosing to ignore :

There were the Pakistanis who packed in bombs into a school-bus in Bandipora,
grievously injuring five schoolgirls. Packing bombs into a school bus! (Ref:
Washington Times)
Karam Veer, 14, and Harpreet, 13, who were brutally killed at Vaishnodevi just
as they stopped to get a bite to eat. Dozens of other children were injured that
day and, of course, the terrorists proudly took ownership for this deed.

The list could go on and on -- since this happens almost every day. In many
cases, the children receive yet another kind of sentence -- they lose their
childhood, their parents and their futures.

But simply put, every week, Indian parents have to scrape the bodies of their
children off the streets or receive bullet-riddled bodies in body-bags, thanks
to the Pakistanis -- and still they are enthusiastic about seeing Tendulkar
square up to Shoaib. Wow.......wat a craze 4 cricket !!!

Remember, all this killing and debauchery does not come for free -- the
Pakistani terrorists get good money for this. And, the money has to come from
somewhere. Not surprisingly, The New York Times amongst others have consistently
reported on the open fund-raising for jihad-e-Kashmir (& many other
organisations 2 name) that goes on unabated in Pakistani mosques. While our
Rotarians collect money to save Pakistani lives, Pakistanis proudly announce
their accomplishments in raising resources for the terror in Kashmir.

So, it would seem that some businessmen, who would benefit from television
revenues and access to the markets through selling their wares during the
matches, may be willing to pay handsomely for killing their children. Rest
assured that by advertising and gaining access to Indian customers, some of
these same traders will gain many times more than the $20 million the PCB will
earn. This is just initially predicted figure. Amount must be much much higher
than this.

No prizes for guessing which 'charities' these traders will bequeath sacks of
money to. And, Indians are stupid enough to believe they can buy the goodwill of
the financiers and cheerleaders of the terrorist clans.

Doesn't make sense to me, any which way you look at it.

In the past, the Samjhauta Express, life-saving medical treatment for dozens of
Pakistani children, numerous peace-offers -- nothing, absolutely nothing, has
tempered Pakistani society's innate bloodlust. So, why do Indians expect magic
to happen this time?

But, but, but -- say the die-hard peaceniks -- this has nothing to do with
cricket! Not quite.

Pakistani cricketer Shahid Afridi's terrorist first cousin, a local commander
for the Harkat-ul Ansar, was killed by the BSF in an encounter in Kashmir
recently. Please note -- first cousin!! So, while the BCCI (Board of cricket
control in India), Indian advertisers and the paying Indian public will bail out
the now bankrupt Pakistan Cricket Board, close relatives of Pakistani cricketers
are busily killing Indians. Also, let us not forget that officials of the very
same army, that run the Pakistan Cricket Board, also run the organizations that
regularly issue threats to the lives of Indian star cricketers -- nice people
they are dealing with, aren't they?

Such direct family and personal connections to terrorists are not at all
uncommon in Pakistan -- a country where doctors, nuclear scientists, cricketers,
PhDs from MIT and government officials regularly consort with terrorists.

So, if Indians refill the coffers of Pakistani cricket and with their
hard-earned money, there's a very good chance some of it will find its way back
to their home -- as bullets into the heads of Indians!! Is this the right way to
invest our money? Do really Indians r so stupid wanting to finance the people
who're anxious to bash in the heads of their own children?

Sure........ some of them want to see their docs to treat Pakistani children --
great go for it !! Some want to make sure that relatives can visit each other
across the border -- nothing wrong with that! That's all very Indian and very
humane. But do they really have to subsidize the war on our children, their
neighbors and their extended families?

Sure, cricket is important to INDIANS -- but is it important than their own
children & family members ?? If their answer is yes, then well forget this
article And i m extremely sorry 4 taking their valueable time.


Bye.......Take care.

Hope Indians know very well...............how to take care of themselves.
