Choice to carry the Olympic torch

The bystanders are the ones with almost zero stakes apart from a moral responsibility. But I am going to set aside the “moral responsibility to take sides” stake, since it is personal and I do believe it’s their own choice and by that measure, they should not attempt to foist it on others.

Talking of politicizing the Olympics, the torch relay in India is reaching ridiculous levels. Indiatime comments on Suresh Kalamadi’s decision to include “people from all walks of life”. Noble intentions indeed except they are anything but.
