The Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award was named so for a reason......

Visionary Rajiv Gandhi, then the son of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi & a prominent youth leader himself (he was 40) was one of the members of the organizing committee of the 1982 Asian Games

Major Dhyan Chand whom we all love and adore was a Major in the Colonial British Army where he excelled in the years from 1928, 1932 and 1936 when he won Olympic Gold Medals for the British Indian Empire.

The Govt of India awarded him a Padma Bhushan in 1956 for his admirable achievements in the field of hockey.

Major Dhyan Chand was a legend ...... But I hope everyone knows why the Khel Ratna Award was named after Sri Rajiv Gandhi.

Disclaimer: There’s absolutely no problem in naming the Khel Ratna Award after Major Dhyan Chand (I’m sure his descendants won't mind) but there is a problem if one doesn't know why Sri Rajiv Gandhi's name was associated with the award.

So Bholu Bhakt decides to call up @narendramodi today.....

Bholu Bhakt: Modi Ji, thank you very much for taking my call. I never thought I would be able to talk to you. I want to ask you something.

Modi: No problem, ask..
1/n
Bholu Bhakt: Modi Ji, can you tell us something about the current state of economy? What is the current state of Indian Economy and what are you doing about it?

Modi: A-ha, usually I answer difficult questions first but I will answer this easy question for you as easily as 2/n
I answer all easy questions. The Ease of Easy Answering.

Bholu Bhakt: Okay please tell.

Modi: Instead of telling you, I will help you understand it better with a practical experiment because Practise, Practicals and Protocol are the 3 Ps to success..

India, Indians and @narendramodi have now become objects of ridicule world wide. The world is worried about the possibility of a mutated strain of Corona emerging from India and has thus closed its gates to all Indians.
#ModiAgainstNation
2/6 It will be a long time before we are able to travel to any country.

A failed vaccine program, announced with much fanfare as #TikaUtsav with no stocks or no thought as to how it will be rolled out, has created an international situation.
#ModisCrimeAgainstIndia
3/6 A strain detected in UK, called the B.1617 has been classified by WHO as a 'strain of concern'. What this means in layman terms is that this strain may bypass the defenses created by the vaccines that are being currently administered.

3286 people died yesterday due to #CoronaPandemic as per official records.

Now multiply that by 30 and you get 98550 deaths in a month. Compare this with 2,00,000 deaths from April 2020 till April 2021. That is less than 548 deaths per day on an average.
2/6 Some international experts have said that the figures are being hidden & misreported. The factor they count is between 20 to 30. If that was true then what we are witnessing is mass culling of citizens of India.
3/6 Even at a factor of 20 (under reported or wrongly classified), the daily death count would be 65000 people all over the country. No wonder that we are running out of cremation space, wood & other facilities.

No wonder we’re running out of Oxygen. The goberment has collapsed.

#POSITIVITY
Most efficient @narendramodi goberment (since 1947), that does lots of things in the name of reforms and public benefits (though nothing jells) wants us NOT to spread NEGATIVITY but to join it's Supporters in spreading POSITIVITY. 1/7
POSITIVITY in this nightmarish situation means the following DOs and DONTs :

1. DON'T talk about #Covid19 Talk about other things as though there is nothing like #COVID19India
2/7
2. DON'T see or let others see images of human misery. Don't share, for instance, pictures of burning pyres, woman wailing, patients gasping, etc.

3. DON'T count the dead.

4. DON'T talk about rallies and religious gatherings. These were unavoidable.

On the other day, @narendramodi declared that people below 45 years will not be vaccinated for now. In his very own theatrical style, he asked the naujawans to bear with this decision.

#ModiFailsIndia
2/8 #Modi and @BJP4India are famous for preaching deshbhakti. A desh or a modern nation is recognised to have three "vital interests" to be protected at all costs. They are
1. A nation's people
2. it's territory and
3. it's sovereignty.
3/8 It is the practice all over the world to pull all a nation's resources to rise to the occasion if one of its vital interest is threatened. It's people included.
India has immense resources. It is not a poor country. It can afford to vaccinate each one of its people.

"समर शेष है, नहीं पाप का भागी केवल व्याघ्र,
जो तटस्थ हैं, समय लिखेगा उनका भी अपराध।"
In @myogiadityanath own constituency, kids died due to lack of oxygen in the state BRD Hospital.
So many died one night that the scenes were distressing.
2/8 One doctor, who ran all through the night, @drkafeelkhan trying to get oxygen from any source possible was later persecuted. He was harassed no end, sent to jail for telling the truth about the oxygen shortage and had to finally leave UP to go and work in Jaipur
3/8 where #Congress assured him of protection. The supporters of hardcore criminal ajay bisht and @BJP4India kept quiet. They did not come out in support of the honest and dedicated doctor, who had clearly gone beyond the call of his duty and tried to save children.
