Beijing 2008- India’s proud?


I know this kind of question will make everyone angry. Why this kind of a question? Yes we have to ask or think about this matter deeply. If Indian government have any right to proud for facing success, Abhinav bindra, an extra ordinary driven shooter fights back injury and set backs to records India’s greatest sporting achievements, his Olympic gold bringing redemption to his sport not given to high fives. It resolves around stillness, silence and a purity of focus, it is why he is good for Olympic gold?
It is not the power of India. It shows the power of money. Because his parents give him that much supports (money). They are milliners and arrange air conditioned shooting range in his house. And sent him abroad for more training. Abinav has got a good training and supports from his family. So the achievement by him is only meant for himself, it is also the attainment of his parents.
When we consider about others who got medal from Beijing, is totally different. Because of lack of money and training they have to satisfy with these medals than a gold medal. If they get a good training and good coaching they also carry the gold medal. Our sports officials take very much interest to go to Beijing for watching Olympics. If they take that much interest in supporting of these sportsmen India will achieve some of its peaks in Beijing. Another thing is that we could not consider these young persons who have ability. Medias and sport councils only give support those who have glamour personality and publicity like Anju baby George, Sania mirza etc. Our medal expectations only till them not for others. When we consider about the performance of Sania and an Anju we can see that their carrier graph is very low compared with their publicity and glamour’s.
We can hope that this Beijing Olympics will open a new chapter before us. Because the authority have got the knowledge of more coaching of new comers or young people and their support. Firstly we have to start a good training and coaching centers for each sports items and it will help our growing sports. It is a need. Government spent lot of money for luxury and unnecessary things and now it is the right time to think about the need for the support for the sports person.
