Kudos to our Women's Kabaddi Team on winning the world cup ! . The vent was held at Patna , India . It was heartening to see at least one of our national games doing well.Infact in Kabaddi both men and women are world beaters . We have won Gold medals repeatedly in the Asian games and we have always put a great show when it comes to World championship !
But how many of us know the above fact ? and how many of us realise that Kabaddi has always been a successful sport for us ???

Check the above link to know about our success . But the Irony is in spite of being the World Champions and Gold Medalist in the Asian Circuit , we ( People of India , Sponsors ,corporates) don't take notice of these achievements . Where are the sponsors ??? The Kabaddi federation needs money to pay the players well and to spread the game to the grass root level , youngsters will definitely take up to the game , if the sponsors are willing to enhance this gold laying national games of OURS. Both men and women team need sponsors and for sure with the might of the corporates we can push this game to get a Olympic recognition .With the talent available we for sure will reap gold after gold in Olympics.
The Kabaddi Team is not even protesting like the Hockey Team for money , they carry their heart in their sleeves and they do their best while playing and they ensure we are the champions time after time . Lets give the recognition and money which is due to the World Champions.
It was heartening to see our Men's and Women's hockey team perform good after a long time , though the women's team didn't qualify for the finals , they put a up a brave show against the Mighty Africans . Kudos to the Men's team which made the par. Its been long since a Indian hockey team has played with such zest and zeal . Nice , Indded it was old Magic re-created . Lets hope they strike a medal at the Olympics.
The Hockey Teams needs to win consistently , once they start achieving that iam sure money will follow and i hope in future they don't draw a comparison with other sports and say they earn big bucks and we don't , iam sure with the victories in their hand they will reap the benefits sooner than later .
Pepsi's new ad -Change the Game is nice but then again i reiterate my point in not comparing one sport to other and claiming which is good and which is bad . If they really want to support football or soccer let them go to the federation pump in some money , make sure out league are off international standards and iam sure we can unearth many more IM Vijayans , Baichung Bhutia and sunil chetris of the future .
What we really need is an environment were all kinds of sports are given equal importance and inculcate the sporting in the hearts and minds of people through schools , colleges and corporates . Iam sure once we start doing that , we don't need to count the GOLDS with our fingers !
