Abhnav Bindra made India proud yesterday in Beijing Olympics. He landed the first individual gold medal for India in its independent history. It is really a laudable feat which needs to be appreciated. In his own words, hopefully this opens the doors for other Olympics sports in India.
As is evident, it is not really the dearth of talent but the lack of proper facility and training that is is haunting Indian athletes. The Government should come out with a national sports policy to identify and groom talent in a professional manner and provide world class infrastructure so that Indian athletes can shine and bring more gold medals in the global arena.
These days a country’s performance in all the fields is used as a measure of its development. Be it economy, military or even in sports, it is imperative for a rising power to project its capacity in a manner that gets noticed world over. At least this objective should proper our govt to act in this regard.
Once again we all need to congratulate Abhinav for this historic feat and hope that this leads the way for many more gold medals to India.
