In our country if census is made on who
play ,watch or like cricket,this sect will be well above any religion ,caste etc.also
whole country unite at the time of cricket matches irrespective of their
differences and cheer for India.so invariably cricket is religion and cricketers
are role models for millions of fans in India.
Also in our country we elect honorable members for our parliament who govern us for a span of five years .Election in
our country is by far largest and holding the is a mammoth exercise.on other
hand motivating and mobilizing voters to vote is herculean task .
Most of the famous personalities took
part in encouraging people to vote in various ways through commercials or by
posing for pictures after casting their vote etc.but what our gods of cricket
religion doing ? where are they ?when country needed them.
Oh ! to the surprise they are enjoying in Dubai playing IPL7 and not even a single cricketer who are ubiquitous on tv screens
all time in commercials bothered to vote or to motivate the millions of young
for whom they are role models.
Is it not the moral responsibility as
citizens of India to motivate millions around who by a single word from their
role models or a picture of them showing ink mark on finger tips will move out
of their medial stupors and come out to vote.also to utilize their basic right
i.e right to vote.
Happy
news is that voting percentage is by far better than previous elections,it would
have been even better if big guns of our country mainly our cricketers
campaigned or at least posed for a picture for publicity.worst part is that organizers of IPL shifted the venue to Dubai rather than delaying it .OK taken
for granted postponing is a problem then why cant the BCCI or franchises which
are drowned in money send their players
on election day to vote or why not the cricketers themselves take initiation
for that.
One must take it as their moral
and personal responsibility to develop the country. One must not forget what is
the core all these riches they are enjoying today.

Gods are in heaven, why should they come to Hell where many don't show up their moral responsibility? I don't remember one cricketer name but he came down to India to vote. That time only, I appreciated him, was under impression that others follow the suit. But it was wrong presumption of mine. :-( At least there are devils (take for instance in hyderabad) who were very much present in India and free from work on that day, still dint turn up for vote. So, why we cry over Gods, rather make devils to become godlike if not gods.. ;-) what do you say?
