HEIGHT OF DISCRIMINATION : DIFFERENTLY ABLED SPORTSMEN/WOMEN BACK WITH GOLD MEDALS - BUT WHO CARES? Add your voice, so that those who ought to hear this... will finally wake up from their selfish slumber.!!!

There was widespread media coverage.
There was no shortage of sponsors.
Why... even Sachin was on call..!!!

A delegation of 117 sportsmen were sent to Rio Olympics 
They returned with 2 medals.
============================================

No media coverage..
No sponsors...
And God alone knows where Sachin is..??
Compare that with the Rio Para-Olympics.

We sent a delegation of 19... that's right... only nineteen. 

Strangely... no politicians or celebrities showed interest to go with them...

They've already bagged 4 medals..!!

Exception & small consolation : ONLY Tamilnadu Govt (The CM Ms Jayalalitha) announced 2 crore to the Gold Medallist of TN.
=============================================
No this isn't about 'ABLE'​ v/s ​'DISABLED... but it's still worth relating.

It's still not too late... Come on Maruti Suzuki - give them a car each because BMW surely won't..!!!

And what about those Khel Ratna Awards...and cash prizes..???

Wake up India...​ Ministry of Sports & Youth Affairs.
============================================ 
Add your voice, so that those who ought to hear this... 
will finally wake up from their selfish slumber.!!!

  2. Sports is very much required for physical health.We have number of Indian style indoor and outdoor games and sports.We can have sports and athletic competitions in India with people having same DNA.I am speaking the logic and not egotism.When millions are struggling for 2 times square meals,I feel Indians going abroad,spending crores and competing with athletes who have different DNA( I mean the strong physical strength attribute)is not at all wise and we can never succeed.It is not surprising too they have not brought medals.So why should we blame them.Extra curricular activities will not increase the per capita income of the nation,except feeding the individuals who concerned.In the same tone I congratulate all the differently abled sports people for their great achievements.

  4. All the persons who gleefully enjoyed limelight with the two Olympic medal winners might not be knowing the Para-Olympic events. May be so with the PMO and the Sports Mnistry. Of course Sachin plays able game and not different from other Selfie enthusiast like Modi.
