It has been less than 48 hours since terrorists killed 28 Indians in Kashmir; there is hurt, pain and anger in every countryman's heart. Those murdered include a newlywed Naval Officer, a businessman from Kanpur, a resident of Bengaluru on vacation with his wife and their son, an intelligence bureau officer serving the nation, an NCO of the Indian Air Force hailing from Arunachal Pradesh, and many others. But it is business as usual for BCCI, the IPL circus continues, Bollywood stars are back to encouraging you to have gutka. Dream 11 is back to nudge you place bets.We can still understand poor people trying to eke out a living, but BCCI which earned $2.2 billion last year represents India. Couldn’t it have shown solidarity and compassion for the deceased by putting on hold cricket matches for a single day ? This is beyond nauseating, our deshbhakti stops where business starts, our sympathy ends when Mammon talks. From clubbing to filling cricket stadiums, we are back to who we really are - insensitive, pitiless money worshippers.
