As mahatma Gandhi said \"POVERTY IS THE WORST FORM OF VIOLENCE\",every year 3.1 million indian children die before age of 5 mostly from diseases of poverty like diarrhea.\n\n\n\nINTRODUCTION: India being the second most populous country after China with almost 1.2 billion People has enjoyed growth rates of upto 10% over many years and is one of the largest economies in the world,with a Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of 1,644 billion US dollars.But only small percentage of Indian population has benefited from the impressive economic boom so far,as majority of people in India are still having in abject poverty.\n\n\nAnd yes,we take the difference between IMF's April 2020 forecasts for GDP growth and their forecast from October 2019 as \"The covid effect\", a slight simplified version because other things have also changed in world that may have caused the IMF to alter it's forecasts.However,the largest change is clearly caused by covid-19 and the policy response around the world.\n\n\n\n\nCauses: Even under-estimates of poverty as made by NSS 1999-2000 show that 260 million persons or 26 per cent of population live below the poverty line, that is, do not have sufficient consumption expenditure to meet minimum food intake in terms of calories. 70 per cent of the poor live in the rural areas. What are the causes of this mass poverty? We explain below some important causes of poverty in India.\n\n\n\n\u2713increase rate of population\n\u2713less utilisation of resources\n\u2713a short rate of economic development\n\u2713increasing price rise\n\u2713unemployment\n\u2713shortage of capital and able entrepreneurship\n\u2713social factors and political factors\n\u2713unequal distribution of income\n\n\nMany economists have pointed out that in the year of good agricultural output, poverty ratio declines. Good performance in agriculture leads to more employment opportunities and fall in prices of food grains. More employment opportunities and lower food price cause poverty ratio to decline. The experience of Punjab and Haryana shows that with agricultural growth through use of new high yielding technology (popularly called green revolution), poverty ratio can be significantly reduced.\n\n\n\nHowever, in various states of the country such as Orissa, Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, East Uttar Pradesh, where poverty ratio is still very high new high-yielding technology has not been adopted on a significant scale and as a result agricultural performance has not been good. As a result, poverty prevails to a larger extent in them.\n\n\n\n As a result, irrigation facilities whose availability ensures adoption of new high-yielding technology and leads to higher productivity, income and employment, are available in not more than 33 per cent of cultivable land. As a result, many parts of the country remain semi-arid and rain-fed areas where agricultural productivity, income and employment cannot be sufficient to ensure significant reduction in poverty.\n\nEFFECTS OF POVERTY:\n\nThe resounding effect of poverty echoes through various layers of an India citizen\u2019s life. If we try to have a systematic look at them, we should proceed under the three following heads:-\n\n1. Effect on Health\u00a0\u2013 one of the most devastating effects that poverty has is on the overall health of the nation. The most prominent health issue stemming from poverty is malnutrition. The problem of malnutrition is widespread in all age-groups of the country but children are most adversely affected by this. Limited income in larger families leads to lack of access to sufficient nutritious food for their children. These children over time suffer from severe health problems like low body weight, mental, physical disabilities and a general poor state of immunity making them susceptible to diseases. Children from poor backgrounds are twice as susceptible to suffer from anemia, nutrient deficiencies, impaired vision, and even cardiac problems. Malnutrition is a gross contributor of infant mortality in the country and 38 out of every 1,000 babies born in India die before their first birthday. Malnutrition among adult also leads to poor health in adults that leaches their capacity for manual labour leading to a decrease in income due to weakness and diseases. Poverty also causes definite decline in the sanitary practices among poor who cannot afford proper bathrooms and disinfectants. As a result susceptibility to waterborne diseases peak among the poor. Lack of access to as well as means to procure appropriate treatment also affects overall mortality of the population which is lower in poor countries than developed nations like the USA.\n\n\u00a0\n\n2. Effects on Society\u00a0\u2013 poverty exerts some gravely concerning effects over the overall societal health as well. These may be discussed along the following lines:-\n\na. Violence and crime rate\u00a0\u2013 incidence of violence and crime have been found to be geographically coincident. In a backdrop of unemployment and marginalization, the poor resort to criminal activities to earn money. Coupled with lack of education and properly formed moral conscience, a poverty ridden society is more susceptible to violence by its people against its own people from a sense of deep-seated discontent and rage.\n\nb. Homelessness\u00a0\u2013 apart from a definite drop in the esthetic representation of the country, homelessness affects child health, women safety and overall increase in criminal tendencies.\n\nc. Stress\u00a0\u2013 lack of money is a major cause of stress among the middle-class and the poor and leads to decline in productivity of individuals.\n\nd. Child labour\u00a0\u2013 one of the hallmarks of a poverty-ridden society is the widespread practices of exploitation and the worst of it comes in the form of child labour. Large families fail to meet the monetary needs of the members and children as young as 5 years are made to start earning in order to contribute to the family income.\n\ne. Terrorism\u00a0\u2013 proclivity of youth towards terrorism stems from a combination of extreme poverty and lack of education making them susceptible to brainwashing. Terrorist organizations offer poverty-ridden families money in exchange for a member\u2019s participation in their activities which induces a sense of accomplishment among the youth.\n\n3. Effect on Economy\u00a0\u2013poverty is a direct index indicating success of the economy of the country. The number of people living under the poverty threshold indicates whether the economy is powerful enough to generate adequate jobs and amenities for its people. Schemes providing subsidies for the poor of the country again impose a drain on the economy.\n\n\u00a0\n\nSOLUTIONS:\n\u2713\u00a0Population Control:\n\nPopulation in India has been increasing rapidly. Growth rate of population is 1.8%. For removal of poverty the growth rate of population should be lowered.\n\n\n\u2713\u00a0Increase in Employment:Special measures should be taken to solve the problems of unemployment and disguised unemployment. Agriculture should be developed. Small scale and cottage industries should be developed in rural areas to generate employment.\n\n\n\u2713Equal distribution of Income:\n\nMere increase in production and control on population growth will not remove poverty in India. It is necessary that inequality in the distribution of income should be reduced.\n\n\n\u2713Regional poverty:In States like Orissa, Nagaland, U.P and Bihar etc. the percentage of the poor to the total population is high. Govt. should give special concession for investment in these regions. More PSU\u2019s should be established in these states.\n\n\n\u2713Increase in the productivity of the Poor:\n\nTo remove poverty, it is necessary to increase productivity of the poor. The poor should be given more employment. More investment should be made in pubic and private sectors to generate employment.\n\n\n\u2713Development of Agriculture:\n\nThe agriculture should be developed to remove poverty. Rapid rate of growth of agriculture production will help to remove urban as well as rural poverty. Agriculture should be mechanized and modernized. Marginal farmers should be given financial assistance.\n\n\n\u2713Increase in the rate of growth:\n\nSlow rate of growth is the main cause of poverty. So growth rate must be accelerated. In 2003-04 the growth rate has been 6.5% despite that 26% of population remains below poverty line.\n\n\nAnd the end,measurement of poverty is really very tricky,as different places have different understandings of poverty at different times.\n\n\nFor example,a poor person in USA could be one who doesnt own a car.But in india,having a car is a luxury only some can dream of us.Thus,measuring several aspects of one's nutrition and income determines poverty in india.\n\n\n\nLastly,\"EDUCATION IS A BATTLE AGAINST POVERTY THAT EVERYONE SHOULD FIGHT FOR AND POVERTY IS NOT MADE BY GOD,IT IS CREATED BY YOU AND ME WHEN WE DONT SHARE WHAT WE HAVE.\"\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/p>","type":"txt","id":1593364033009},{"data":"

COVID19 Pandemic since the starting of the year 2020 has toppled the lives of people. The lives of the middle class and lower class have taken a big hit. Poverty is caused mainly due to the rising control of the private sector over government-owned businesses, and also due to uncontrolled birth rate. <\/p>
In 2020 and due to the pandemic, the government is selling its holdings such as Air India ( listed in the stock market). The quarantine measures and loss of economic activity have reduced the availability of workers. The lower labour income becomes detrimental as people reduce consuming goods and services and that harms the business continuity and the economy takes a fall. The income pressure caused by economic activity's downturn would devastate jobs near or below the poverty line. The growth impacts of the virus used for the unemployment figures above indicate an additional 8.8 million people living in poverty worldwide than originally predicted (i.e. a total decrease of 5.2 million working poor in 2020 compared to a projected decrease of 14 million preCOVID-19). As per 2020 estimate, in the mid-to-high scenarios, there will be between 20.1 million and 35.0 million people in working poverty more than before the pre-COVID. <\/p>
Effects of poverty can be seen in the rising slums in an urban city where landless labourers are forced to live right beside the construction sites. More people in community slum levels are dying due to COVID19 as the government labs are taking time to provide a result and they cannot afford to go for a private lab test. Some take loans but are trapped by the system until and unless the government intervenes and take incentives.<\/p>
During difficult times, International Labour Standards (ISL) provides a solid framework for key policy responses based on the vital role of decent work and ensures a sustainable recovery. These standards which have been adopted by government representatives, workers' organizations and employers' organisations, offer a human-centred approach to growth and development. <\/p>
The government have issued measures that are to be followed by private companies to protect the employees against COVID19 health risks. Henceforth, protective steps are implemented at the workplace but most employees are working from home.<\/p>
Protective measures must be introduced in communities to combat the contamination by COVID19. Large scale funding and support by the public are required to take these steps. Workers on-site must be protected with WHO recommendations and guidelines to minimize the direct effect of COVID19<\/p>
\nSocial media should be used to spread awareness, safety measures and to keep the public updated. Fake news usually causes panic so the social media platforms could come up with scanning factors to keep them away. <\/p>

The state of being extremely poor is said to be the definition of poverty. And in India a place where you have slums and the homeless in every other street. We don't have to define poverty. It is something that we encounter on an everyday basis. Be it our household help or random people on the street or in public transport, poverty is everywhere. <\/p>
Ever tried analyzing the causes?<\/p>
In India, the main issue here is our fast-growing population. Now if you are thinking as to how poverty is related to population or vice versa. <\/p>
Here is an explanation. <\/p>
A mediocre person's earnings could suffice his\/her personal needs but in the long run, these funds would not be able to fulfil the needs of a growing family. <\/p>
In 2020 has the scenario changed?<\/p>
Yes, with a national lockdown that successfully managed to flatten the curve of our economy, the poverty issue just got enhanced to a whole new level. People have been confined to their homes and a lot of people have lost their jobs. Poverty has knocked at our doors. The prices of goods and services do not seem to decrease any time soon but one thing is for sure, Poverty is real trouble. <\/p>
Effects of Poverty:<\/p>
Sometimes basic needs like food, clothing and shelter become unmanageable with poverty. Health care is essential to all but a poverty-stricken country like India can barely afford to fulfil the needs of its citizens. Regulation of prices is just a dream that is far far away from achieving in our country. We are just making our lives miserable each day. Job creation seems next to impossible in the current circumstances. Migrant labourers plight during lockdown is something that we will never be able to make up for, at least in 2020.<\/p>
So what are the feasible solutions:<\/p>
Helping people build their skill sets. Increasing the number of startups and cottage industries that we have. Promoting education in fields other than the usual ones. <\/p>
And most importantly, giving people the hope and strength to move ahead in life and not be stuck at the crossroads of poverty.<\/p>"}]
What explains so much enthusiasm for boycotting or banning Chinese goods?<\/b><\/p>
Most Indians would not want a full-fledged war with China. However, they would prefer to deny Chinese goods access to India\u2019s $2 billion market. They think that banning is a low cost option to send a strong message to China to mend its ways especially with respect to Pakistan.That would also help Indian manufacturers suffering from demand slowdown and ever rising onslaught of cheap Chinese imports<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1593350490788","data":"5ef89e79198b9"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1593350490774","data":"
Why it won\u2019t work?<\/b><\/p>
There\u2019s no denying that China regularly engages in unfair trade practices such as dumping, use of subsidies or export restrictions on industrial inputs to out-price competitors as can be seen from the large number of WTO cases filed against China. It\u2019s also more or less settled that it\u2019s encouraging Pakistan to act against India.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1593350490775","data":"
Despite that, imposing a ban or boycotting Chinese goods is a bad idea and it would hurt India more than China because of the size, nature and product mix of its trade with China.India\u2019s major exports are cotton, copper, iron ore, mineral fuels and organic chemicals which together account for more than 60% of its total exports to China. India\u2019s major imports from China, on the other hand are electronics, electrical machinery and equipment especially those used by power sector, solar cells and intermediates such as active pharmaceuticals ingredients (APIs) and flat rolled products of aluminium and steel<\/b>.<\/i> <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1593350490777","data":"
Thus, most of what India exports to China are commodities. Whether we Indians like it or not but importing what we supply to China from alternative sources would be quite easy.

To make its manufacturing sector withstand tough Chinese competition either in domestic or third country export markets, India needs to first fix its crumbling basic infrastructure and business unfriendly regulatory regime that raise the cost of doing business in the country. China with its huge financial reserves can play a constructive role in fixing India\u2019s infrastructure but that calls for a policy of engagement rather than confrontation. Moreover, increasing Chinese investments in India will create Chinese stake in India\u2019s well-being, and that in turn may discourage it from encouraging Pakistani adventures against India.

Poverty is said to exist when people lack the means to satisfy their basic needs. Identification of poor people first requires a determination of what constitutes basic needs. These may be defined narrowly as \u201cthose necessary for survival\u201d. Poverty has been associated, for example, with poor health, not being able to participate in recreational activities, low levels of education or skills, an inability or an unwillingness to work. But what actually causes poverty?<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1593069639959","data":"
What causes poverty especially in India? <\/b><\/p>
There is no one cause of poverty, and the results of it are different in every case. Poverty varies considerably depending on the situation. Feeling poor in Canada is different from living in poverty in India or Africa. The differences between rich and poor within the borders of a country can also be great. Though we cannot completely state one reason for poverty for all places together, still Unemployment stands as the strongest reason for poverty. <\/p>
Some special reasons of poverty in India: <\/p>
1)\tCorruption and Black Money are undoubtfully the major obstacle for the growth of the economy. Black money leads to reduced tax revenue for the country which worsens the strength of economy. Though government releases huge packages like the 20 lakh crore rupees package in 2020, Jan Dan yojana etc. the benefits never reach the needy due to corruption. <\/p>
2)\tPopulation has been rising in India at a rapid speed. The rate of job creation doesn\u2019t meet this rising rate of population thus causing unemployment, increased cost of living therefore poverty. <\/p>
3)\tIn India there is educated unemployment and disguised unemployment. Poverty is just the reflection of unemployment. <\/p>
4)\tShortage of capital stands as an obstacle for those setting up industries, transport and other projects. Thus, jobs aren\u2019t created. <\/p>
5)\tSteep rise in prices leaves the poor vulnerable to death out of hunger. <\/p>
6)\tOnly 3% of total working population is engaged in industries. So industrial backwardness is major cause of poverty. <\/p>
7)\tLow rate of inclusive economic growth has also been a major cause of poverty in India. <\/p>
8)\tThe social structure of our country like caste system, laws of inheritance and succession hamper the growth of Economy. <\/p>
9)\tLack of proper Infrastructure also effects the growth of the economy.\n\n <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1593069639960","data":"
Poverty and Pandemic! <\/b><\/p>
Especially during the tough times of pandemic, poverty has worsened in many countries including India. We are slipping back by almost a decade. Due to business operations being stopped in lockdown for nearly 45 days, companies aren\u2019t able to payout their employees and caused massive unemployment. Even after the lockdown, people didn\u2019t restore their spending capabilities due to limited salaries. This also affected the business sector in India which lead to forceful shut down of small businesses in the country. In order to earn higher profits to make ends meets, the prices of many daily essentials have been increased illegally which leaves the poor to starvation. \n\n <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1593069639961","data":"
Effects of Poverty: <\/b><\/p>
Effects of poverty is like the spread of corona virus. It affects everyone in contact i.e. an individual, his family and possibly the next generations too. Some things which are affected due to poverty:\n <\/p>
1)\tThe biggest effect of poverty is poor health. Those who suffer from poverty do not have access to enough food, adequate clothing, medical facilities, and clean surroundings. The lack of all these basic facilities leads to poor health. Such individuals and their families suffer from malnutrition. Further, when these people get ill, they do not have enough money to visit a doctor and buy medicines. Many such poor people die on a daily basis due to prolonged illness etc. <\/p>
2)\tPoverty leads to violence and increased crime rates. Occurrence of violence and crime have been found to be prevalent in slums and rural areas. Due to unemployment and marginalization, the poor people often indulge in wrong practices such as prostitution, theft and criminal activities such as chain snatching etc. <\/p>
3)\tPoor people are usually homeless. They sleep on the road sides at night. These makes the entire scenario very unsafe for women and children. It also effects the cleanliness the roads should maintain. <\/p>
4)\tPoverty forces poor people to send their children to work instead of sending them to schools. This is because the families fail to bear the burden of their child\/ children\u2019s education. On an average among the poor families in India, children start earning at an age of 5 years. <\/p>
5)\tYoungsters from poor families are usually targeted and involved in terrorist activities. These people are offered huge amount of money in lieu of which they are assigned with a destructive task of terrorism. <\/p>
6)\tIt also depicts the weakness of an economy of a country. This indirectly also drives away top-notch investors from investing in a country.\n<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1593069639962","data":"
Can we ever end poverty?<\/b> <\/p>
Yes, we surely can end poverty if we could eliminate corruption from a country. (sounds impossible ?). The only thing we, the citizens of India, need to do is pay taxes properly without hiding our incomes and also make sure to raise a voice to ask the government about where and how the money we paid is being used for the upliftment of the economy. This way we could eliminate corruption and let government take measures to provide basic facilities to the people below the poverty line. Youngsters should always look forward to be a job maker not a job seeker. Encouraging people who have volunteered to provide facilities such as pure water, foods filled with nutrients, living places to poor people and who\u2019re conducting charity services to develop the lives of them, by offering special rewards and admiring them in various ways would be a good way to increase the number of voluntary workers.\n <\/p>"}]
Black Lives Matter (BLM) is an organized movement that is specifically against police brutality and systemic racism against African-American people in the United States of America. It was first formulated on July 13, 2013, by Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors and Opal Tometi following the acquittal of Trayvon Martin\u2019s murderer, George Zimmerman, in Florida. <\/p>
\n\u201cOur lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter\u201d \u2013 Martin Luther King <\/p>
\nAll Lives Matter (#AllLivesMatter) is a slogan that is created with good intention but it takes away from the oppression of the Blacks. It has since come to face criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement. \nIt should be noted that today, not \u2018\u2019ALL LIVES\u201d face discrimination on the basis of skin colour. Professor David Theo Goldberg, a South African professor working in the United States, known for his work in critical race theory, the digital humanities, and the state of the university, says, \"All Lives Matter\" reflects a view of \"racial dismissal, ignoring, and denial\". On Real Time with Bill Maher, Bill Maher expressed support for use of the \"Black Lives Matter\" phrase, stating that \"'All Lives Matter' implies that all lives are equally at risk, and they're not\". One who respects and follows the \u201cAll Lives Matter\u2019\u2019 movement, they are not acknowledging the discrimination facing by the black community over the years. <\/p>
\u201cWhen people say \u201cBLACK LIVES MATTER\u201d that doesn\u2019t mean blue lives don\u2019t matter\u201d \u2013 Barack Obama<\/p>
Black Lives Matter campaign and the protests are all about bringing equality. Blacks have been facing discrimination since ages only because they have a different shade of skin colour. Last month, the murder of a black man named George Floyd in Minnesota, US, has again caused rage in people\u2019s mind filling world conversation with white privilege, racism, police brutality. Peaceful protests had broken out in several countries where people showed their support for the Black Lives Matter movement. <\/p>
Surely, all lives matter, and \u201call lives ALREADY matter\u201d but today and since decades brutality and racism against Black Lives are endangering the black community. <\/p>
So, in what way is ALL LIVES MATTER a wrong campaign? <\/p>
It acts to suppress the voice of Black people who are asking for their fair share of respect and status quo. It wants to mute the voice and cry of the Black community and their sufferings, which is viewed as insensitive, inappropriate and disrespectable to humanity when they are crying in pain. <\/p>
Who has given us, humans, the authority to judge and torture another human merely because of a different shade of skin colour?<\/p>"}]
Before we get into the heated debate on existence of Climate Change and global warming, Let's get to know what exactly Climate Changes means.<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1592981848768","data":"
What is Climate Change? <\/b><\/p>
Climate change describes a change in the average conditions \u2014 such as temperature and rainfall \u2014 in a region over a long period of time. For example, 20,000 years ago, much of the United States was covered in glaciers. In the United States today, we have a warmer climate and fewer glaciers. Climate change encompasses not only rising average temperatures but also extreme weather events, shifting wildlife populations and habitats, rising seas, and a range of other impacts. <\/p>
\nClimate Change is clearly a man-made crisis. But many disagree even with its existence and think of it as part of planets natural climate cycle. They block out the science because they believe otherwise, they might have to change their lifestyles.\n <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1592981848769","data":"
Why do some people think climate change is a hoax? <\/b><\/p>
1) Well The point is what\u2019s causing climate change that hasn\u2019t been answered scientifically until today. <\/p>
2) Scientist have no idea how the climate works so every \u2018answer\u2019 they give can only be theory and\/or conjecture. The least scientists could say is CO2 emissions cause climate change, which doesn\u2019t satisfy the queries of people and make them think that climate change as a hoax. <\/p>
3) Climate change has been going on since the planet was formed. I believe they even found traces of a forest in Antarctica. As for humans, we contribute to it with extra CO2 from our industries and speeding it up, but even if we quit that, we won\u2019t stop it. <\/p>
4) Few think if we decide to stop climate change through any forces, would be a big mess with the natural order and we will have to suffer. <\/p>
5) Many think climate change is real but not man-made. They think it has been inflated by the politicians in order to charge more taxes on everything! <\/p>
6) Climate change isn\u2019t that bad; life will find a way.\n <\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1592981848770","data":"
What makes people believe in Climate Crisis?<\/b> <\/p>
1)\tThe planet's average surface temperature has risen about 1.62 degrees Fahrenheit (0.9 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, a change driven largely by increased carbon dioxide and other human-made emissions into the atmosphere. <\/p>
2)\tThe oceans have absorbed much of this increased heat, with the top 700 meters (about 2,300 feet) of ocean showing warming of more than 0.4 degrees Fahrenheit since 1969. <\/p>
3)\tThe Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in mass. Data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment show Greenland lost an average of 286 billion tons of ice per year between 1993 and 2016, while Antarctica lost about 127 billion tons of ice per year during the same time period. The rate of Antarctica ice mass loss has tripled in the last decade. <\/p>
4)\tGlaciers are retreating almost everywhere around the world \u2014 including in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa. <\/p>
5)\tGlobal sea level rose about 8 inches in the last century. The rate in the last two decades, however, is nearly double that of the last century and is accelerating slightly every year <\/p>
6)\tThe number of record high temperature events all around the world has been increasing, while the number of record low temperature events has been decreasing, since 1950.\n<\/p>"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1592981848771","data":"

If Climate Changes continue at current pace, Soon most of the earth\u2019s tropical regions would turn into complete desserts and will experience deadly heat waves. We would witness bigger and stronger hurricanes which would even reboot our modern civilization. Melting glaciers would lead to floods and drowning of massive parts of land. To prevent these situations, people would have to drastically change their modern lifestyles which would be very challenging. People would need to turn off their charge driven lifestyle to a very high extent. <\/p>

We all know that cricket is the most famous game in India and they say for many it is a religion instead of just a sport. So why do they say so? Because it\u2019s the most-watched sport in the country as compared to every other game present today. We have people in the country who have undefinable thrill, passion, and excitement which is in-matchable to that of any other sport. Why go outside and see, what do we do? when there is a big match about to happen on a particular day. Aint we leave our every work and make ourselves sit in front of the tv to watch the game. This shows our linking towards that game and how that game is important to us. While we were kids, we all must have played cricket with our siblings or friends on the streets. But why not football, because cricket is a simple sport and also the love people have for it is eternal. Being a simple sport cricket can be played with just one bat and a ball, with the least of two people together and on any congested streets of the country. For the fact we have one of the legends that is Sachin Tendulkar, he is the god of cricket, we all know him, he is the one of the former international player from India, who began with his carrier, when he was 13 years until then he uses to play and developed his skills on the street. Cricket in India is like football in Brazil and Spain. I have witnessed people who can talk on cricket the whole day as if it flows in their blood therefore I guess the slogan \u201cwe bleed blue \u201con ICC cricket world cup 2011 was very trending. It\u2019s not only about that the game is amazing but it\u2019s more of many people who have their ideals from that game. They worship their ideals like not less than a god. Cricket is a sport of sheer hard work and determination.it teaches every one of us that its need not to be lucky to win a game, if you are hardworking and patient. Despite hockey being the national sport never got so famous because unlike cricket it can provide that much money, fame, and respect. We barely have followers for football in the country and if any they lack passion in comparison to cricket lovers. Thus we can say even in 2020 cricket plays sheer dominance against all other games in the country. \n\n\n<\/p>"}]
