(1)We in India, by contrast, have borrowed elements from the other
models but eventually created a unique model of our own.
Central to it is the spirit of democracy. It is in the
democratisation of sport, the realisation that sporting success,
like IIT and IIM degree, is not a vehicle for upward mobility in a
highly aspirational society that lies at the heart of
the rediscoverty of Indian sport.(hindustan times-Friday, July 27, 2012)
(2)The english premier league has become a high value global product
not just because of the quality of the football on view.
The EPL is supported because it has aligned itself to a transparent
system of governance which every club has to adhere to.
The IPL, by contrast, hasaligned itself to a handful of team owners
and cricket board officials, none of whom, it seems are
accountable to anyone but themselves. Professional sports needs
professional governance, not rules framed to promote private
interests. (hindustan times-Friday, June 01, 2012)
(3)Dear Raj, This is the second open letter I am writing to you since,
as was the case four year ago, you refused to do interview
in any language other than Marathi. We have a popular Marathi channel
whose ratings sore every time you speak ot us. You area box
office hit in Marathi.But Mumbai is no longer a Maharashtrian city.
It hasnot been one for well over a century. By contrast, the
percentage of non-Maharashtrian, and specially , even though the
rate of increase has declined in the last decade. A substantial
number of the migrants are from UP AND Bihar. They are, it seems, the
new enemy.(source-Hindustan Times Friday September 07, 2012)
(4)If success and failure is judged through electoral performance then
few will hold out any hope
for the former IRS officer and his motley crew. The party system has
proved resilient, ceding
very little space to new entrants.. the disproportionate influence
of money power in elections
in an enduring phenomenon. Team Anna, by contrast, was built by the
elctronic media. To a large
extent, the star attraction was the persona of Anna Hazare, a
fakir-like figure was became a magnet
for those searching for a new 'clean' icon to contrast with the sins
of the traditional politicians.
But Anna was at heart a folk activist who relished the cameras but
was never really at ease with the
cut-and-thrust of national politics. kejriwal, by contrast, is a man
in a hurry, impatient for change and ambitious enough
to see himself as an agent of change.(source-Hindustan Times Friday
