Biased Indian sports

I am a die hard fan of cricket. Cricket is considered to be a religion in our country and we usually rate cricket on the top of the list of much loved games. It is heartening to see an unfair cloud that is surrounding our Indian sports in the recent years. Our national sport hockey is given much less significance and we have not our country being qualified for the football world cup. Cricket players have been facilitated for their brave achievement in the recently concluded series win against the cricketing giants Australia. This is a great sign because this may inculcate confidence and enthusiasm among the players and it may urge them to perform well in the future. All this is fine but the fact is this facilitation has not been taken to all the games equally. People don’t even know how we are ranked in the hockey and they are unaware of the fact that we have won the Asian cup in a convincing style. We may not force any one to be a fan of particular game but still we should lend our support to build a confident team. It is unfair that we are just giggling that our country is not strong in any support excluding chess and cricket. It is in our hands to lift these games and if we do this the country with more than 25 states will definitely become the leader in sports. Then we can’t stop our search for a single medal in the Olympics and start counting the number of medals in each section.
