I may seem to be an anti-nationalist when I speak that the CW games should fail. Yes I wish that the games should fail. But it is not because I don’t want India’s stature to be held high on the international front, but because I want India to face the reality in all its bitterness.

If even with prevalent maladministration, mismanagement and corruption the games are a success then it is not India which will gain, but it will be a safe escape for all those who are responsible for it. Public have a short memory and they will soon forget that the crores of their hard earned money have been siphoned by corrupt politicians and sports administrators. Let not the pseudo proudness engulf our self-esteem with the ‘Jugaddu’ mechanism winning every time by costing the exchequer several times more than required and still making us believe that everything is fine. Corruption is at extreme....The foot bridge just near the games village collapses...still Shila Dikshit tells that it is India's game. If somehow it succeeds then politicians will be ready to take credit...if it fails all Indians are made the scapegoats. Why everytime?

Everything is not fine and a short term success will not make it fine either. The failure of the games will act as an eye-opener by sending a strong signal to the government, media and the society to be more vigilant and more demanding. Bhagat Singh threw a bomb in the central assembly to make the ‘deaf hear’; the failure will create a similar impact on the present and the future governments.
