Mr. Sitaram Yechury, a Polit Bureau Member of C.P.I.(M) visited China recently.
What for? Definitely -not spiritual guidance. What is there to learn from China?
Here is an ANI news report which indicates that Zhang Shangwu , its retired gymnast champion was begging by performing his skills. The City's patrolling police were said to have driven him out of the commercial street area, on the ground of 'unauthorised begging'.
ybrao-a-donkey's views not intended to be imposed on others:
These things happen in India. But, Police do not drive out the begging sports persons. The Public also do not bother. Reason: The sport-persons of pampered sports like Cricket, Tennis, Foot Ball etc. can make hay while the sun shines. Shooters Rathod, Vijayakumar, Gagan Narang et al have their secure jobs in the Defence Services and they need not beg. Then who should beg? Sports Persons of Cinderella sports may have to beg.
Question Can Communist countries and Governments cannot behave like the Governments in Capitalist Countries?
Ans: Why? A horse cannot behave like a donkey. The Communist Governments have a duty to meet all the genuine basic needs of all their citizens, with NO EXCEPTIONs. It is also the duty of the Government of China, to provide suitable work to the sports person, if it is not possible to use a person's sports skills directly in occupations such as sports-coaching.
In pure laissez-faire, the Government can allow its citizens to beg.
We have a proverb in my mother tongue Telugu: 'amma peTTA peTTadu , aDukku tinA nivvadu'. The approximate translation of this proverb works out like: 'This mother does not feed (give food). Nor does she allow me to beg.' The new Guru of China is America and not Marx. We know that, in United States, poor and homeless sleep under Bridges and Fly-Overs. They can probably sleep before closed shutters of shops on holidays even in commercial streets. China should, therefore, allow its sports persons to literally beg.
