Lodha report-
Some of its observations are pandering to populist views and may not be in the
overall interest and development of the game.
BCCI
needs to make some changes to at least
improve its image.
The whole problem is we tend to
emotionally react and enact rules to check anomalies.
In the process we miss the facts. The
committee’s agenda was to ensure proper management of affairs based on interest
of the game and its stake holders, players, fans, sponsors, public figures and
politicians who may have genuine interests and also get many things done easily
etc and draft proposals which can also ensure less corruption and improvement
for the game in all its aspects.
In fact Railways and services, India
cements, TVS etc have produced more players, nurtured their talents, groomed
them, taken care of their livelihood etc than many states which are states in
Map of India but not in the atlas of Indian cricket.
Some observations of Lodha report
do not have any cricketing relevance; they appear as if the report is seeing
the entire gamut of the game and its administration only through prisms of
political nexus and corruption excess which make for a usual populist script
for media and films not course correction.
Many states with greater geographical
area have not produced a cricketer.
How many cricketers have Bihar produced
or Sikkim or Assam or some other states for that matter?
Union territory Delhi has produced so
many good cricketers that do not mean that we must demand a vote for
Pondicherry and Andaman and Nicobar islands too.
Many Malayalam and Bengali movies are
more realistic and sensible than bollyhood but
only bollywood stars
are popular and grab limelight and awards. Will any committee say that each
regional language film must have only one award?
