It is the time for reconsolidation in Indian Sports. As we all got to know yesterday we once again clinched The Nehru Cup. This depicts a gleaming and a lustrous football future that India is to enjoy. In addition that team Force India secured second spot in Belgium Formula One Grand Prix. For the first time a pursuit team supported by an Indian endured GP triumph. Thanks to the great works put up by Vijay Maliya and his crew. In the foot ball Nehru Cup final India thrashed Syria a country that is placed 95th in FIFA Overall Rank, whereas India is placed in 156th.
In Nehru cup final the spectators witnessed a game that had extreme Indian supremacy. At the end of the game it felt that the Indians attained their deserved victory. India was well structured under the supervision of Coach Bob Houghton and was ready to face any challenges and confronts put up by Syria. That confidence was reflected in Indian players and Indian dug outs throughout the game. Thank you Bob for generating an immense football passion among the Indian footballers and for teaching them to make winning a routine.
But the most depressing was the comments made by the Union Minister for Sports M.S Gill thing after team Force India set new racing standards in the Belgium Formula One Grand Prix. According to Mr Gill Formula One is not a sport. Mr Gill says that the Government’s prime focus will be on the upliftment of sports like football, swimming and so on.
I strongly believe that the Union Minister is being little bit unfair in his activities and statements. Mr Gill should understand the fact that there are so many sports person who dreams of making India known to the world through the sports and events such as Formula One and so on. How can a government sporting ministry disregard all other sports and concentrate on just one or two sports. For the past few years it was Sports Ministry’s this policy that caused the decline in standards of many games. For instance for the past few years the Sports Ministry and the Sports officials were only concerned about cricket as a result football and hockey lost its public acceptance, fans were low and this ultimately led to the poor condition of hockey and football. So kindly please accept all the sports, treat them equally and make India to host as many international games and events as possible.
