India is a country where different kinds of religions,
different kinds of traditions and different kind of people exist. But one thing
makes all different Indians on a same stage, and that is Cricket. In India cricket
is not only a game, it’s a passion of every person. Hardly there will be any
Indian who won’t like cricket. But these days this game is being used by our
authorities as a tool to improve the disturbed relation with other countries,
especially our all time rival Pakistan.
Is there really a need of cricket series between India
and Pakistan?
At least BCCI thinks so. There has been no series between these two countries
since 2007. This strong glacier came in to existence after the 26/11 attacks in
2008 and now BCCI has decided to start a cricket series between these two
countries in December 2012. But question is, is this the right time to try to
melt this ice stone? This question is raised by the former Indian cricketer
Suneel Gavasker. He said that Pakistan
is not helping India
in 26/11 case. So having a cricket series in this time is not good.
Having a cricket series with any country
is normal event in India but
when it comes to India vs. Pakistan, the
craze goes too high. It’s every time more than just a game. But the issue of Kashmir or the issue of terrorism is more sensitive than
cricket. These issues have to be given more attention instead of having a
cricket series. Cricket diplomacy is good but is this as good as needed, to
solve the tension between two countries?
Watching a cricket match in the
same stadium by prime ministers of both the countries together is not enough to
solve the issues. There must be a serious talk but the importance of
this kind of serious talk is being faded by the untimely cricket series.
Instead of having a cricket match, the countries
should try to solve the big issues and big tension between both the countries
so that no need of cricket diplomacy would be there to improve the relation
between the two countries.
