Rising Stars !!

For a nation where cricket is religion and Tendulkar God, to make a mark in a different field and yet be recognized and applauded must feel really good. Yes our nation is finally ready to recognize and accept that there are other sports which are as entertaining and rewarding as cricket. (Taking nothing away from cricket)

Some of our recent achievers

Lawn Tennis    Sania Mirza, Leander Paes,Bhupati, R.Bopanna.

Golf                  Arjun Atwal

Badminton      Saina Nehwal

Soccer             Baichung Bhutia

Shooting         Abhinav Bindra,Jaspal Rana,R. Rathore

Athletics         Anju Bobby George

Chess              Vishwanathan Anand

Billiard            Pankaj Advani

These names are not only internationally recognized but are now household names in our country too. True it will take a lot of time for a nation which sleeps cricket, drinks cricket and eats cricket to encourage other sports too but still I think an effort has been started.

Individual category Games are increasingly becoming popular with the youth. With a little awareness, a push from the government in the form of better opportunities and infrastructure for various sports and schools and parents giving equal importance to every sporting activity, we are sure to shine in every category of games. 

Three Cheers to India… Three Cheers to Us!!
