XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi on 3 October 2010 are seriously expected around the world, as the three foundation principles of Common Wealth Games Federations are: Humanity, Equality and Destiny are the parameters held responsible by the Commonwealth Games Federation for every momentous decision taken within the federation. The Common Wealth Games are organised by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF), a union of around 70 countries lying in the major continents: Asia, Africa, America, Europe, Carri bean and Oceania. The CGF was formed in the year 1930 by Bobby Robbinson with a firm will of promoting and celebrating an atmosphere of unique, friendly, world class Games in these member countries and also strengthening the harmonious mutual relations between the Commonwealth countries.

India will also be hosting the Common Wealth Games for the first time and Asia for the second time; in 2010, in Delhi, the capital city of India.

The honour of being the only Games Federation that has a common language for conversation i.e. English. For this reason, the Commonwealth Games have also been coined as "Friendly Games", and thus; have been a source of inspiration amongst the Youth of the Commonwealth Nations, to excel in games and sports.

As the news were spread about Chairman of Common Wealth Organising Committee Suresh Kalmadi as culprit of funds were misused of Common Wealth Games, but when Suresh Kalmadi replies regarding the blame on him.

"The Organising Committee has the budget of 1600 crores. This money has been given to us as load which we have to repay through sponsorships, through revenue, merchandising and ticketing. So, we have no return all the money we have to. And we are getting a lot of sponsors on board. There is going to be no expenses on our account to the government. Whatever is happening, the stadiums, the roads, metro and airport is not just for the 15 days of the Games, but that is a legacy for the city of Delhi to enjoy", added Kalmadi. Kalmadi's statement or the reply seems true, but as the replay of Prime Minister Manmohan sing has already said that if the blame on this issue has been proved by the investigation party those who involved in this dealings will be punished.

In a interview with Manishankara Iyar shows his anger on this issue that he is not going to be in Delhi by the time, when Common Wealth Games were successful on it's way, it shows his 'Truman ship' of Indianness and also true patriotism, among all the 'Favourtism'. India has this kind of patriots, enthusiastic 'party men' as well as 'very good politicians'. People must not fail to recognise this kind of politicians in forth coming elections for sure, so that the future India can survive with harmony among people, conflict among political party's as well. Let us enjoy sports during the season.
