Here is another example of how lousily every Indian treats India
You must be watching the so called HEAT initiative of BCCI whereby every school in SA is being donated money to help the schooling infrastructure.
Not only will the Indian Premier League (IPL) bring with it a lot of cricketing action to South Africa, it will also contribute towards education in the country. An eight million rand (over $890,000) scholarship programme was announced Friday by IPL Chairman and Commissioner Lalit Modi and it will be among the largest community programmes in South Africa by a sports organisation.
The Help Educate And Teach (HEAT) programme was launched at the Alexander Sinton High School in the suburb of Athlone with headmaster Faziel Parker ceremoniously receiving 100,000 rands paid into a dedicated scholarship fund at the school from Modi.
Now the question-
Why was something like this not done for India last year? (Maybe they will have to do it next year(i hope!) now that they have done it in SA. But the point is that no one even thought of doing it here. Go to SA and suddenly they thought of helping the schools. wow!
Imo our schools can do with such donations even more. Especially for sports with horrible infrastructure in almost every school and the lesser we talk of stadiums. the better. Even look at the premier cricketing facilities in India and you have cement benches and not even decent toilets. Almost always its a torture to go and see a match.
For how long will we be taken for granted?
