India, a country proud of its independence and legacy, continues to partake in the Commonwealth Games, an event symbolic with a reminder of British colonial atrocities and the subjugation of our forefathers. It is proven that the Games originated as a friendly athletic competition among nations under British rule. Over times, this tradition has evolved into the Commonwealth Games, carrying an undeniable echo of historical oppression, seemingly contradicting the spirit of Indian Nationalism.

Political and social scientists have noted that these games may perpetuate subtle reminders of colonization, undermining our collective strive towards self-reliance and national pride. We request the Indian National government to evaluate the historical implications and consider an official boycott of the Commonwealth Games. Further discussions at all levels of governance need to take place that reflect upon the very ethos of our Nationalism. Take a stand against symbols of past subjugation, do not allow history to overshadow our prides and achievements. Support the motion, sign the petition.
