Inmates not allowed to watch world cup, go on hunger strike

... Children around the country to follow suit.



In a turn of events that has created a national revolution, Indian children have been inspired by the inmates of Nabha maximum security prison who went on hunger strike when they found they wouldn't be allowed to watch the World Cup Matches.  

"We expect that all the children are going to fail their board exams this year," said the head of the NCERT.  A special committee has been convened in New Delhi to chart a course of action.  "The best thing to do will be to quiz the students on their knowledge of cricket," said Mr. Kapil Sibal, the minister who is heading the committee.  It was later explained to Mr. Sibal that children were obsessed with the sport, not with the insect.


"All that matters is we only lost 2 crores during the 2G scam.  What's 2 crores?  It's nothing," he said.

Meanwhile, Ramesh, a young boy who lives in the slums of Bombay is pleased with the turn of events.  "With all these people turning down food, there'll be more for me," he said.
