Protestors burned effigies of Indian team members and even defaced posters of the Indian cricket team. Similar protests were held in Delhi's Najafgarh, where Virender Sehwag's house is located. Fans also took out protest marches in Kolkata and Indore. Mahendra Singh Dhoni's house in Ranchi, which is under construction, had come under attack by angry fans last week after India lost to Bangladesh. a group of cricket fans gave vent to their anger by pelting stones at the restaurant of bowling spearhead Zaheer Khan in Pune on Saturday morning. No major damage was caused in the stone pelting to the restaurant. Needing a win against Sri Lanka to ensure entry into the Super eight stage of the World Cup, India failed dramatically. Mathematically, they still have a chance if Bermuda beat Bangladesh but don't pin your hopes on that one. The dream is almost over.
Just before Woolmer's death, not only cricket websites but other wibsites also were full of the most despicable venom penned by irate fans mortified at India’s poor performance aginst the not only weak team but also newly entered in the World Cricket Cup ournament Bangladesh at the World Cup. And after the defewated by Srilankan team condition in India is very panik.
A cricket fan is dead by heart attack to hear the defeat of India in the hands of SriLankan team.
For years now, especially after the birth of electronic media competitive hype has increased to such an extent in the media that already scenes of soccer hooliganism by cricket fans has become commonplace, as has firebombing on homes and public threatening of national cricketer in India. I am not taling here of other countries.
Electronic Shock by Electronic Media
And one wonders to just what extent the world's mass media is inadvertently helping turn sporting passion and national pride into what can only be described as mass hysteria?The entire way in which the carefully orchestrated and choreographed professional wrestling “business” is portrayed on television is based firmly on provocation and confrontation with fans being whipped up by commentators and participants to the most extraordinary and pretty darn frightening levels of vengeful hysteria.
Mass Media bcomes Mass hysteria
My eyes are regularly on the blogs titles and news hadlines and I find that whole country is in the attack of such high termperatrue of cricket which is greater disease than bird flue.Cricke is the front page news always in every newspaper now adays.
There seems to be no doubt that the mass media is adding fuel to this fire of manic behavior among supporters. In many instances very selective morality is being employed by many a mass medium in taking player and administrator comments out of context in an effort to hype up confrontation and provoke responses that guarantee the sustainability of the story.
Other bird flues due to intercourses
Aother intercourse bird flue was brought by ‘Munnabhai lage raho’ for Congress but this disease gripped many in the leadership of Manmohan, Sonia, Sheila Dixit and so many others. In our country there are so many types of Dengu mosquito which are developing breeds to intercourse with the media especially electronic media.
‘Love guru’ and Nishabd are another type of dengu family. I saw these gurus Prof Matuknath Chaudhary with his lover Jullie and Big B for praising his role in ‘Nishabd’. One = one became two and now there number is increasing with more speed than dengu.
Now there is no healthy competion
What was once healthy competition is now turning in competitive paranoia.After looking at hundreds of case studies, Alfie Cohn, the American author of No contest -The Case Against Competition which won the National Psychological Award for 1987, came to the very firm conclusion to say: "It is destructive not merely because we are doing it the wrong way - it is destructive by its very nature. I think the phase ‘healthy competition’ is a contradiction in terms and the ideal amount of competition [notice that he doesn't say 'conflict'] in any environment - the workplace, classroom, family, playing field - is none…"
Aajtak, Star and Zee TV are mostly reserved for the cricket. Oher channels are not behind. In fact in this matter, they compete one other. So many former cricket players are buisy to fan to cricket fans. Even former Pakistani Cricket captains are coming here to earn handsome money from the channels. Coach comes from abroad. Politicains griped BCI in India. I don’t know what the health is, what the age is and what the knowledge of cricket with respectable Sharad Pawar is. I have seen many faces of Rajiv Shukla. His legs are in BCCI, Congress and journalism also. We see enemity in the cricket board election. Are they are devoted for cricket or money or for gaining political benefit?
AccountableThere is no question that both professional sport administrators and the mass media can expect growing social pressure to become accountable for their actions. For using provocation and hyping conflict in advertising events and for being mischievously selective when quoting players and administrators in efforts to make coverage more juicy, controversial and fgenerally give issues longer legs. Somehow those who administer sport and those who keep the public informed are going to have to seriously start looking at ways of relieving the pressure among fans, otherwise the current trend of calling for coaches to be fired when they lose a game or two will turn into vicious vigilantism.
Two examples of Madness beyond the cricket
I read autography of Mahatma Gandhi in my school life. Gandhi was in night rest with his wife in his room when there was a call for him about the illness of his father. He overlooked that. Later he was with tears to see the death body of his father.
In the democracy every citizen is the king or badshah. But they should not be Mir and Mirza: “The chess continues even as the British troops march into the city until they have a fight over the game. Mir, who has nearly shot Mirza and is ashamed of his behavior, says, ‘We cannot even cope with our wives, so how can we cope with the company's army?’”
We showed sportman spirit!
Cricket fans should know what is going on in India beyond the cricket. Nehru gave us slogan of “Hindi Chini bhai bhai” to embrace Chou en lye. In return China attacked India. And tragedy was that former defense minister of that time comrade Krishna Menor ordeere our brave army for not shooting a single bullet on the force of China. Deciplined brave army was borne bullets of Chinese army on their chests in Indo China War.
Tragedy was not ended. At that time communists were supported Chaina in many ways openly and doing themselves undeergroud.
After that the sportsman spirit of us was not ended. We the great Indians gave the West Bengal and Kerala to the communists to rule us. This was the example of the timr of our first Prime Minister.
Now I want to give the latest examples of MM Sonialed UPA government. People of Pakistan want to be free from the dictatorship of Musharraf. But Indain government took the shelter on the sinking boat of Musharraf to sink the interest of India. Government is such that it sent a sketch of suspected and wanted Pakistani terrorist of blasting in Samjhauta Express. Our Secular did this to messae to Pakistani Govrnment that forget our demand of Dawood and others. Look our latest demand. I am fool so I am asking here “ Is this trend childish or of foolish nessor not?” Our secular government does not want to see beyond Gandhi Nehru dynasty. What is the latest sadakchhap dialogue of Rahul Gandhi? But by the way UPA follows the example of our ancient India also. In the issues of Joint Mechanism with Pakistan, Army reducing in J & K, death hanging order of Supreme Court, issue of SEZ and like other issues UPA follows Kalidas who was cutting such stick of tree on which he sat.
When I saw protest against the players of Indian Cricket team then I think then why should this anger not be divert against the deeds of impotent Government? Why would had that anger not turned against the comrade Krishna Menon and Pt Nehru of that time?
