British Rules Cricket ?

I was somewhat confused for that what was the real reason for Indian Cricket to be in so much of highlights. I was searching for the answer and one day i thought that i would be able to receive it, but nothing as such happened and i got much more confused. See how _ _ _ _

One day after a news bulletin on TV during dinner there started a big debate over Indian Cricket. The topic of the debate was that whether cricket be the king among the list of all the sports been played on the soil of our country. At one point my father argued that,"there are three most powerful and richest nations in the world owns the highest number of medals in all categorical sports but none of them have cricket even as a game. It is hardly possible to find cricket in their streets with children playing with a bat or a ball. When asked he told these are the very familiar nations - USA, Russia and China. He also told that we are still the slaves of Britishers as we follow their likable games. They played these games on our soil when they were ruling us and now we are playing the very same game to pay homage or tribute to them ? Are not we slaves of them. Is not that true that Britishers still rules the us and evenly The Cricket ?"

Instead of clearing my doubt my father confused me much more. Later started my sister. She believes that,"its not the Boastfulness of Britain, that we are playing their once lovable and still likable game and its also not that Britishers did not ruled America and China. Yes that's other point that they ruled their for only very less time compared to ours. Like wise India Britishers did not found much resources in countries like America and China. They made their investments in these nations with short military troops by either creating different small states as in America or they exploited their population by making them addicted to drugs like opium in China. These nations were not their big spots. They found Indian illiterate with vast resources so they tried to make a maximum use of them. Meanwhile for their own entertainment on our soil they created Cricket academies. And there after started a different chapter of cricket."

Besides this she also believes that Cricket had started from our traditional rural game - 'Gilli danda'. Even much more shocking and confusing. How should i come to know that what's the reality? What it be but its shocking that why America, China and Russia do not start with their cricket teams ?

Should everyone forget cricket in India? or

Cricket has been life in India seen long time after India has won world cup of cricket in 1983, under the captain ship of Kapil Dev. Its not that cricket is the national game of the nation but still it has occupied its place in the hearts of the people as a national sports. This un-fortunate thing happened because the national sports of India Hockey was unable to bring any gold after the seventies in the Olympic events. While on the other hand cricket brought the world cup. While non other sports there after was been able to make a big change in any important international event.
Cricket was not only the eye of the viewers but also became a issue for the politicians. It became a hot issue everywhere there stands a group of people. Cricket became the beat of nearly every Indian. Cricketers were and even are still provided with uncountable money whereas such is not the case with other sports person. They are living there part of life in struggle. If someone puts their voice forward he/ she is provided with a small amount of money. While if a cricketer makes a very simple attempt of cutting a ribbon even he is provided with uncountable money from all sides. This should really be needed to be changed. A revolution is needed to be brought.
But now the question arises that whether this game should remain the first priority in considering other sports of the nation or should other sports should also be given their part of chances? Whether we as Indians should forget the cricket so as to uplift other sports? Whether we should forget the legends of many great players in cricket? What should be the answer?
One answer lies with me. Can this be a better answer for the nation and its other sports. According to me we must not forget cricket, but instead must make an attempt to promote other sports also. Cricketers should keep on playing their game and along with sports persons from other sports will have to do some extra work, they will have to not only show their game on the top but would have to popularize their game among the people of the society. These sports persons would have to develop a perfect combination of personality and intelligence so as to put their sports in the eyes of the people or to make them a center of attraction.
So forgetting cricket is not the right choice. But making the other sports to the same level as to the cricket is the correct option to move on.
