Nitish Kumar has mastered the rhythm of renewal in Bihar. In a democracy of churn and chance, endurance may be the rarest—and most refined—form of political art.
While the move could free up grid capacity struggling to keep up with rapid renewable rollout, it would be a major setback for green ambitions. India aims to double clean power capacity to 500 gigawatts by the end of the decade.
This world is being restructured and redrawn by one man, and what’s his power? It’s not his formidable military. It’s trade. With China, it turned on him.
The vulgarity of money, the hateful kingly behavior of very average men associated with Indian cricket have come to public attention in the past. Each of these deserve to be cut to size. There was that man V. Srinivasan, then that fraud Lalit Modi, and there may be many more. There are tens of thousands of crores sloshing in their kitty while young men and women of exceptional merit in other sports are begging for even humble employment to be able to feed themselves and their starving families.
All this must end abruptly and with the drop of a hammer. The ENTIRE funds of BCCI should be consigned to a to-be newly created NATIONAL SPORTS FUND. The resources of the fund should be judiciously distributed among sports personnel and maintenance and development of sports facilities by a team of PROFESSIONAL ADMINISTRATORS comprising IAS officers and past players. The IAS officers should be transferred every three years as in their other postings. CCI, the Cricket Club of India where elites of the society gather to swill drinks SHOULD HAVE NO CONTROL on the destinies of young Indians who dedicate their lives to Sports.
