HEIGHT OF DISCRIMINATION : DIFFERENTLY ABLED SPORTSMEN/WOMEN BACK WITH GOLD MEDALS - BUT WHO CARES?
No this isn't about 'ABLE' v/s 'DISABLED... but it's still worth relating. A delegation of 117 sportsmen were sent to Rio Olympics. They returned with 2 medals. * There was widespread media coverage. * There was no shortage of sponsors. * Why... even Sachin was on call..!!!
*********Compare that with the Rio Para-Olympics.
We sent a delegation of 19....... that's right....... only nineteen. They've already bagged 4 medals......!! * Strangely.........no politicians or celebrities showed interest to go with them......... * No media coverage.. * No sponsors... * And God alone knows where Sachin is.........??
******[Exception and small consolation : ONLY Tamilnadu Govt (The CM; Ms Jayalalithaa) announced 2 crore to the Gold Medallist of TN.]
============================================ It's still not too late... Come on Maruti Suzuki - give them a car each because BMW surely won't (reach them)................!!! And what about those Khel Ratna Awards........and cash prizes.....??? Wake up India from deep slumber... Ministry of Sports & Youth Affairs.
============================================= OP IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED BY YOU.... Add your voice, so that those who ought to hear this... will finally wake them up from their selfish slumber.!!!
............................................................................................................ Chain mail this to all your contacts to wake up the nation from its indifference to the differently abled sports persons. Jai Hind.
