Commonwealth Games - Raise Nation's Prestige, NOT your WEALTH.

Games -- An Occasion to raise Nation's Common Pride ! Not the Wealth of some!!
It is difficult to consider that Games are just for Sports. Since very early days Games have been occasion to uplift National prestige and power. China hosted 2008 Olympics to show her growing political and military powers. In 1936 Hitler as the Head of Germany hosting Berlin Olympics used the games to exhibit his power and Germany's prestige.
The 1980 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXII Olympiad, were an international multi-sport eventcelebrated in Moscow in the Soviet Union.. The 1980 Games were the first to be staged in Eastern Europe.The United States and 64 other countries boycotted the games because of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, though athletes from some boycotting countries participated in the games, under the Olympic Flag. This prompted the The 1st Asian Games were held from March 4 to March 11, 1951 in Delhi, India. Originally scheduled to be held in 1950, it was postponed until 1951 due to delays in preparations. The 9th Asian Games were held from November 19, 1982 to December 4, 1982 in Delhi, India. This was the second time the Games were held in Delhi as it was also host to the inaugural 1951 Asian Games. Commonwealth Games ranks second after Olympics as the largest sorting event worldwide. Commonwealth Games are held every 4 years. History of Commonwealth Games dates back to the 1930s when it was held for the first time at Hamilton in Canada. Earlier it was referred to as British Empire Games. The 2010 Commonwealth Games will be the nineteenth Commonwealth Games, and the ninth to be held under that name.
But what is doubtful is whether these Games will at all raise nation's prestige? The problem is Corruption. None of these politicians or others in the organizing Committee are there for love of Sports but to make money. It is indeed sad that those who hold power in this country have closed their eyes to this blasphemy.
Let us wish best for India and her prestige in these games and hope those who attempted to tarnish her image are in the best place they should be -- JAIL!

Excellent..salute u.

[TheNorthHindian]

The so called Indian ‘national’ media (controlled by Mumbai h0gs) has never tolerated the fact that DELHI was chosen (ahead of their beloved Mumbai) to host 2010 CW Games.

[TheNorthHindian]

Delhi got as much as 6 BILLION US dollars to build infrastructure which included major upgrades all over the Delhi state. Consequently, all those world class stadiums/airport/Metro/Flyover­s are now being built in Delhi and such progress of Delhi has turned rac!st Mumbai media to be very hostile towards these games. At every opportunity, these people are disgracing Delhi administration in every possible way.

[TheNorthHindian]

Every major national news/opinion channel is run by Mumbai/south Indians and these people have always been fi!thy towards Delhi/Punjabis. But whats even more baffling is that Delhiwallahs are not even aware of the criminal Mumbai brigade disgracing their city/people under their very noses.

Some of us really have to expose these busturds to the public and Unless and Until we don't confront and dislodge this hatred, our city and people will always get bad name in the so called national media.
