Isn't it ironical that out of the country of more than 1.2 billion people we can produce just a countable athletes and most of them cant even perform at the international levels. Our athletes just looks like they are there just to be the part of the game. winning six medals can be a big achievement for the individuals but as a country its a very poor performance where billions of rupees are spend annually on the name of sports which actually is not used to the potential and wasted by the authorities or is been used by our respected politicians who feel very proud to be associated to the sports arena just to be a part of an international contingent or they just wanted to improve their portfolio without actually having any concerns about the sports they are concerned to. Their motive behind all this is not to improve the quality of trainning or sports. Many of the concerned authorities are not even aware of the technicalities of the game they are heading. Problem is that its not like that we dont have the talent, we actually have lots n lots of talent and potential in our country but either the lack of infrastructure or facilities and then the politics behind the screen just damages the whole process. the money spent is not used with proper channel rather its been misused by the authorities for their own sake. many of our athletes are living their life with adversity. India is a country where cricket is considered as a national game and even the 14th player of the team being an extra still has an identity but we dont even know the name of other games played in india. every parent wants that if their child will be in sports then it should be cricket, nothing less. we have enormous talent but all we need is that we should promote them from the grass roots level and help them shine on the international levels so that India can prove its worth at every part of the game.
