Hi Harsh, I've set it to invisible - not deleted it since it's not relevant to subject/topic, let's move forward.
We used to have a thread for non-Cricketing sports in India, so let this thread stay.
The post by Capt Kumar highlights an important aspect pertaining to the neglect of non-cricketing sports. It's a disgrace that other sports are so badly neglected that we have sprinters who practise without shoes and now rowing team training in some drain!! This when country's raking in billions on cricket!!
And here's another blot: in Hockey India's failed to qualify for Olympics - first time in 80 years!!
That 'secular fundamentalist' sports minister Mani Iyer ought to get the boot.
