Modern Gladiators?

Its no offence, but just wondering…having seen the film where those ancient slaves as Gladiators of Roman Empire to fight and met their death while the rich assembled to drink and watch these gladiators die in pain.
I am wondering who are our modern gladiators…there could be many depending on where one lives…but in our societies there are couple of modern gladiators…one colonial masters pseudo team sport called cricket players and then local but modernized actors and actresses.

Our society has much to do when it comes to basic health, clean, education and food. But neither its people nor its so called politicians have any sense of responsibilities for these basic needs, but everyone even if they lack these will stand outside the shopping complexes which have all these imported electronics items which show them these cricket/films to watch standing unmindful of the dust and beggars. Completely lost in the ‘entertainment’ which has come along with them since the colonial masters devised these ‘entertainments’ when they directly ruled the country. And since they left, they have been successfully continuing their ‘hypnotic spell’ through their education which the colonial slaves have now mastered to en extent which surpass all the expectations of ‘Mc Colay’ who when introduced this education some 200 years ago mentioned, India’s wisdom can be nothing more than a shelf of a British library…. Or something to this effect.

Ofcourse it’s a different story this approach of under estimating about India or Indians costed that once mighty British empire just like that might Roman empire or mighty rulers of Egypt empires or Persians or Mughal or Alexander to go down in history with the arrival of Mahatma Gandhi. And now their English cousins have certainly not following the English but hijacking India’s so called educated people to these ‘entertainment’ to a complete madness level which could be understood only by a few. On the contrary, had the British paid more attention to what Warren Hasting said on Bhagavad Gita been paid attention in administration of India, perhaps who knows the British might have extended their rule for few more centuries.

If cricket and films have hypnotized and hijacked the society far from its ancient skills and wisdom, there is something to be happy about in all these and that is not all the people have the luxuries to have the hypnotic education which makes to go behind all these modern gladiators.

So that’s how there was a film where they even started showing the history of cricket coming to slaves and how it had hijacked its masses. While watching that film which was literally showing cricket of 5 day match, I was wondering when is this society going to learn anything about its own glories instead of making themselves fools by making such films showing how they amidst struggles tried imitating their colonial masters and how they adopted it as an entertainer. Untill then hypnotic and hijacked gladiators will continue to entertain its own hypnotic and hijacked society.

A time shall come for people to raise the question just as in the film, at the brink of the empire collapsing the gladiator asking those have come to see the ‘entertainment’, “Are you entertained”…when people begin raise this question against these modern gladiators that day shall mark the new path for re-generation for the society to get its self free from the hypnotic spell that’s on their heads for more than 200 years.
