What's wrong with Israel? In fact we should be thankful for creation of the state of Israel, India and Israel are two countries containing Islamic militancy on both sides.
Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Palestine............ You can see what nations we have b/w the two.
You are the first Indian (if you really are Indian) that I have heard saying that. India did not exist before advent of Britishers, we were hundreds of princely states fighting with each other.
What slander campaign, do you not agree that arrangements that were made were shoddy? A pedestrian bridge collapses days before opening ceremony, snakes found where athletes are supposed to stay. Kalmadi should be jailed for bungling the organization of the games.
$1 billion eh? Now we are just pulling random figures out of .......... ?
Someone's been getting high it seems
You might like Israel but the conflict is a legacy of the empire...Its not about whats India or Pakistans political position on Israel-Palestine but the role played by Britishers in inflaming the issue. bbEven recently Tony Blair the who is derided played a pathetic role in the Iraq war.
No one is defending the issues that happened during or before CWG, but you might not be aware but there was a coordinated campaign unleashed by the British to dis-credit the games. I have followed these games issues since Oct 2009 and believe that while Kalmadi and the whole OC was rotten there was an attempt to pass the buck by the CWF incl Hooper/Fennel once they realised that there own hands were dirty and being investigated.Is it not surprising that on Aug 19th Fennel visited the games village and found the same problems as he found on Sep 15th. What was he or Hooper doing for a month? The games went off reasonably well but Fennel & co might have got away from the probe as they had many teams ready to withdraw from the games and used that as a negotiating item with the Govt...Dr Singh refused to meet Mr Fennel for this reason.
You might recall the failed attempt of David Cameron who visited India in July to curry up to India in return for Business and other things..UK is in deep trouble fiscally right now and is unhappy by Dr Singhs rebuff.
You only had to follow the news channels across UK and other countries to know what Im saying. Telegraph and Guardian ran blogs by there reporters that specifically reported ONLY the problems in the games. Actually, the Aussies were the least strident of the media's amongst all of them unfortunately the race attacks didnt help their cause.If you think all -ve reporting wrt CWG was unbiased then you probaly werent following the reports closely enough.
Clearly, you are like many others during the 18th century who trusted the East India Company and who know every well what happened thereafter.As far as UK & Islamic militancy goes they are as deep in nurturing it as the Americans, its not a surprise then that the FIRST reports after 26/11 reported British Pakistani's as the attackers (BBC doesnt still call them terrorists but armed men or militants)..
I mentioned the 1 Billion number out of my hat..well then lets bring the poms down totally and demand 1 Trillion USD...they cant pay that in 300 yrs.
