Sir,
Through your elite newspaper i would like to draw your attention toward the very deep and sensitive issue that Cricket in India is becoming an obstacle in the progress of other sports. Television, com
mercialization and the advertising world have promoted cricket to an extent that it has become a Mount Everest, which is badly affecting other sports in the country. An equal exposure is not given to all sports in the country. New comers in cricket sport get name & fame in a short span. But its not happen with other sports players.
Many budding players in sports like shooting, lifting, hockey etc. cannot continue their passion due to lack of governmental aid provided to them at International level which is not the case with cricket. Scarcity of stadiums, playgrounds and poor sports system in schools colleges also pull down interest of people in other sports.
Huge crowd pack the cricket stadium when there is a India-Pakistan match, to boost the morale of their country but where does this “morale boosting brigade” disappear when sportsmen of other than cricketers need them.
Hence through this letter i would like to request our authorities to take a look towards other sports so that other games will also get the equal respect as like cricket
Your truly
Sunali Saini
