Arjun, Phaalgun, Jishnu, Keeriti, Shwetvaahan....... and Srinivasan

I may agree with the conclusion and enjoyed the bitter satire also. But I have some differences with some ideas expressed, and also how Malayalies responded. Except Shashi Tharoor, and Srishanth's family, nobody openly or indirectly supported him during his bad days, because it is in the blood of Malayalies to feel jealous in the success of others. We never encourage individual success, whether it is Srisanth, or Prithviraj or Ranjini Haridas. These are the common targets of the virtual malayali, see FB posts about them. What they did wrong? They know what they are, what they want, how they can get it and that they have the ability to get it. It means Confidence, but Mallus( of course not Malayalis) consider it arrogance. I didn't react to the arrest of Sreesanth in the beginning time, but had doubt. Still I had doubt. I don't know whether he is engaged in the crime. If yes, hang him, no objection. But criticizing him for conducting Thulabhara in Guruvayour, for wearing some "sacred threads" in the hand, and criticizing his mother for conducting poojas when he played in the matches are irrelevant things to be talked about. As if, none of the Malayalis go to Guruvayur and do Thulabhara. Those who come to Guruvayur are from other planets. As if those who visit Shabari Mala are not at all Mallus. As is the one who conduct Poomoodal is not a Progressive Politician, as if the Mosque which is built for honouring the hair of the prophet is not in Kerala. If these things are done by the virtual Mallu alone, it can be forgiven, but the so called "revamped" police also doing the same thing. Evidences given to the press: Condom( as if having safe sex is bad), Ladies were with him ( as if it is a punishable crime to be with ladies), laptop ( as if only Sreesanth is having it), Smartphone( as if he is the one who invented it), money( he is a beggar arrested from the street), and hotel rooms allegedly booked in metros( oh my god) and he is said to have connections with the all powerful Davood (The Maharastrian Messiah of Indian cricket Almighty Sarath Pawar haven't even heard of Davood), and that too without evidence. So, Sreesanth is arrested, and then "evidences" are found, not in the other way, that too the POlice have been observing Sreesanth and his company from the beginning of the IPL( and now they got condoms, so what, you may say). And tell me, if I feel Sreesanth is a scapegoat, is it wrong?

I re-post the comment I have given to one of the posts soon after Sreesanth being arrested for spot-fixing mainly to show the continuous neglect of Southern players in India and also to highlight the prevalence of total corruption in the sports administration in India. It is not just that Sreesanth being denied justice and Srinivasan being escaped, but also include rejection of Arjuna Award to the prominent players such as Tom Joseph and Renjith Maheshwary. It is reaffirmed that sports in Indian sub-continent is only for the North Indian baboos and multi-millionaires, but not for players. When Sreesanth got life-time ban, Srinivasan is still controlling the board.

Tom Joseph has been nominated for Arjuna for nine times and rejected.

Renjith Maheshwari’s nomination was rejected because he had indeed failed a dope test in 2008 during a national meet in Kochi. In other words, even if he got an Olympics prize in future, he will not get any national recognition only because he failed a test in the past.

Sports Minister Jitendra Singh acted so well in the case of Tom Joseph, protecting the vote bank of Kerala. Though he is supposed to clean sports sector from the Kalmadis, he is singing in tunes with people like him. He has protected all the evils of India so well.

Anyone who observes these developments will see one point clearly. The rejection of nominations citing technicalities happens only in the case of Malayali sports stars. Why this happens?

Postscript:

In fact, Arjuna award is not at all suitable for us Malayalis. As per one story, the predecessors of most Malayalis fought in the Mahabharata war against Arjuna, and left North-India after the defeat of Duryodhana to escape from Arjuna. In other words, it is an epic-war!
