Recently I have the opportunity to read an interesting book as mentioned in the title. The book is written By Dr Manik Kar, a Geo-morphologist and retired from Nowgong College as Head of the Department of Geography, Assam. It has been published by Global Publishing House (India), Vishakhapatnam. The essence of the book is that British by introducing and popularising ‘Cricket’ dominated in South Asia and Commonweal Countries which facts and figures have presented in ten different chapters as well as with rich references.

  The first is the introductory chapter where Cricket as a Socio Economic Disaster in South Asia and Commonweal Countries has been discussed. In the second chapter under the title of

‘Cricket is a Sport which is Detrimental for The Nation’; the author has highlighted hidden agenda of playing Cricket and according to the author, the British introduced cricket with the motive of keeping natives as steadfast. In the third chapter, ‘Past History of Cricket: The Birth and the Journey through Centuries’, the author, with his analysis and documents, has revealed that the first publish reference of Cricket was in the late 1600s century. In the fourth chapter the author has evaluated other sports like hockey, tennis, table tennis, baseball, sumo wrestling etc., and has come to the conclusion that these sports are better than ‘Cricket’. In the fifth chapter, author with evidences has presented because of the British rule, Zimbabwe has been facing many issues which prior to British Raj had egalitarian society. In the sixth chapter, by refereeing Norman Bury’s article the author in nutshell has highlighted whether Cricket is a gentleman’s game? Similarly in chapter seven, by referring Ehsan Masood’s article, the author has presented an overview of the Global Politics of Cricket. In Chapter eight, the author by referring from secondary sources, has presented some facts about the Politics of Cricket. In chapter nine, countries with their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Per Capita Income (based on Purchasing Power Parity/PPP) has presented how Cricket has been spoiling the economy. So he feels albeit Cricket is popular in India but at the same time, lot of time is wasted and thus GDP is affected.

Lastly, in the context of the book many references, around 50, have been included, which is really praiseworthy.  

  By quoting the author, it may be mentioned that as far as “cricket is concerned, it is spread over the commonwealth countries where the British ruled their natives in the name of making them “gentlemen” from their so-called uncivilized state. But at that time the hidden agenda was to exploit the natives or Commonwealth countries in the name of making them “Gentle man” through a game called “Cricket”. This game in reality ruined the nations in their total development. If not what civilization we are learning from this game as they introduced it in commonwealth and South Asian countries,   is it the work of a civilized person that is match fixing for money, dancing of ladies in front of minors, old people, and others ?Is it our culture that players will spent their time in hotel with other lady”?  Further, the author has appealed to the then Hon’ble President of India Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam ji to introduce the games football and hockey, which takes only 90 to 120 minutes. In this context, the author has presented 20 points for kind consideration of then President mentioning how ‘Cricket’ has been spoiling the economy of India.  

Finally, the author has concluded with data that in the world football and cricket playing countries altogether were 84 percent against the cricket playing country only 16 percent as per 2016.

“When you want to make the main color pure and bright, don’t just keep adding bright colors on it. Just make the colors around the spot darker and dull. It will give the scene dramatic effects. I think life is the same.”- Hiroko Sakai

It is a style of painting that was created mostly by tribal people of Maharashtra. They were drawn on the wall of huts, caves and roadside. It comprises of different geometrical shapes symbolizing nature elements. Male gods are unusual among the Warli and are frequently related to spirits that have taken human shape.

Central aspects depicted in many Warli paintings is the Tarpa dance. A mixture of red sandstone and brick is used to create the background along with chalk powder which completes the painting.
Walls are painted only to mark special occasions such as weddings, festivals, or harvests.
Today, small paintings are done on cloth and paper but they look best on the walls or in the form of huge murals that bring out the vast and magical world of the Warlis.
Warli painting is specially designed by certain households to sell in fair and shops of handmade goods are set up. You could also found warli on the walls of big households and firms.

Warli art to some extent makes us think of being environmentally conscious and finding joy in simple things of life. The art had spread to regions of Rajasthan and Odisha as well.
Jivya Mashe was awarded the Padma Shri in 2011 for making the art form popular in international circuits. This helps to keep the traditional culture alive.

Every art form has its own beautiful significance which helps to keep our culture eternal.

Massively multiplayer online role-playing games has been played by millions around the world. They have been amazing. In such games majority of trade is done through a plan to plan trading system where one player window shade with another player for the sale of an item and they both plans would engage in a hand to hand virtual trade. This is so truly unique and resembles the functionality of an economy from a time period that represented. There are a lot of assumptions made about training in traditional academic economics. The big ones are that people will act rationally when making their competition. We always have perfect access to all of the information that we need to make that decision. That we are ultimately have unlimited one, but learning limited resources in which to fill those ones in video games like Eve online, for example, these assumptions actually kind of hold up. The market system is pretty sterility. Players have access to all the information that they need and they can just click and buy the cheapest option available to them for the item. They have determined that they need. This makes it pretty textbook. Next time clip different. There was no huge market tablet pricing information. It was just good old school personal person training and this meant that sidewalk in the economy had to step outside the comfort zone of these perfectly consumption and stepped into the world of business.

Promotion had to get the word out about your item place. Where can people go by? What are you actually selling? Body will. Do what you say well now. Typical video game market. Most of these points are really matter. People know when I’m tired and for the most part there are likely many, many, many identical copies of exactly the same item on the game server somewhere. And if you right click show invoke, it gives you all the information you need as to what does, so there goes the product and promotion. OK market with some other purchase’s items directly into place inventory so they don’t have to worry about the placement of an item. Minor really what it comes down to is knowing what you need. Open up the market. I like it. I want it. I got it conference paper applied on this more limiting play the plan training model. Though the 40s were much more important. Players would make sure they position well in trading swings and would refine their shouts into fantastic products they had to offer. Reputation was important to scan for prevalent and price with a bit of shopping, dark and ultimately it came down to. Good old-fashioned handling right there and then. This kind of old school exchange-based trading system was amazing. Unfortunately it was much much harder to monitor professional players that would harvest ruins back Golden Valley game items using automatic aimbots and trade them for Real Money and prices well below what the game developer for this kind of activity was of course not permitted by the game filters but nearly flew under the radar is kind of player to player trading system. So, if 2007 MMORPGs had slowly adapted a trading system for similar to these textbook market places that we see in other video games. This is not the same. Incredibly interesting point to note though, as I was conducting research on this account, you reached out to me and Rectal paper that he had written by inflation computer games with the case study specifically on MMORPGs. But these are so this paper is that rotates markets and more specifically its market prices, but just as dependent on real world influences as markets for cars or oil or shares, but highly recommend that anybody can read this paper, the main focal point of view is the study of the relationship between MMORPGs gold US dollars and we’re expecting which don’t actually have that much in common with real world bonds in ours. They just use given account premium subscriptions again for 14 days. Bonds can be purchased using real world money and then creating game for God. So, the game is legitimate market for gold. Basically, have a foreign exchange market with a real-world currency through these bonds just as they were foreign exchange analyst for real world currency exchanges. The relationship between US dollars at the MMORPGs gold market in a very particular instance in late 2018. Opening to get the game through his more engagement platform. This initially sorry huge spike. Open the game. This would have been a reasonable assumption if it were not for one major motorcycle. Mobile players were more open to the idea of Microtransactions and paying your money not to get ahead in the game. Instead of riding the Golden ring payment by bringing attention bond with them, they would actually rather pay real money for these bonds and stuff in the game. Forgot to get a head start over? Regular players would have to earn this goal in game. This ultimately sort huge downturn. Comparatively more valuable than one relationship.
