Cricket World Cup 28 years-1983 & 2011

The 1983 world cup final was between India and West Indies at Lords, both had reached finals defeating England and Pakistan respectively.Indian team was underdog and minnows against the two times champion West Indies team comparising of best batsman (Richards,Llyod,Haynes,Greenidge) and bowlers (Robert,Garner,Holding,Marshall)of all times.Indian team batted first after loosing the toss and made paltry 183 runs but was able to restrict them to 140 runs,thus beating them by 43 runs.Indian team won because it was having bunch of useful all-rounders like Mohinder Amarnath,Kapil Dev,Sandeep Patil,Kirti Azad,Madan Lal,Sandhu,etc.,I still remember seeing that match live which changed the course of cricket in India and laid foundation for 2011 victory.
The 2011 world cup final was between India and Sri Lanka at Mumbai.This time we were favourite from the start of the tournament and we were playing at home.We defeated Australia and Pakistan in crucial quarterfinal and semifinal games.Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bat first after a goof-up in tossing.They scored 274 runs and we were able to make 277 runs with 10 balls to spare thus winning by 6 wickets.This time we had a very professional,experienced and confident team comparising of Sachin,M.S Dhoni,Sehwag,Gambhir,Yuvraj,Zaheer,Harbhajan,etc.,

Revolution-Navbharat

Taking a cue from Anna Hazare we certainly require neccessary reforms and law amendments in our country to change the course of happenings and for that we should be prepared for a revolution.The martyrs who fought and laid their lives for our independence would have not realized that future breed of leaders will only be greedy politician interested in only minting money for themselves.They have twisted laws and instead of serving people of country have only taken it to the darkness of corruption.They are just following Divide and Rule policy given by our previous imperialist rulers in the name of Caste,Creed,region,religious terrorism,reservation, etc,.to divert attention from real problems.We have so many leaders with criminal records asking shamelessly for more pay and perks even after depositing huge amount of money in overseas banks, instead of serving the people who had appointed them.Its time to send these kind of people to jails,attach their properties and even openly execute them to send a chill in their spine.They are laundering our hard earned money without any fear and remorse just because most of us are not aware of our rights and are just busy in making their own ends meet.We have to act now in order to provide a pristine and corruption free society to our coming generations.
