India sent a delegation of 117 sportspersons to the Rio Olympics. They returned with 2 medals. There was widespread media coverage and there was no shortage of sponsors. Even Sachin Tendulkar was on call!
Compare that with the Rio Paralympics. We sent a delegation of 19. That's right, nineteen! They've already bagged 4 medals. No media coverage, no sponsors, and god knows where SachinTendulkar is!
No this isn't about able versus disabled. But it's still worth relating. It's not too late. Come on Maruti Suzuki, give them each a car because BMW won't! And what about those Khel Ratna Awards? And cash prizes? Wake up India. Add your voice, so that those who ought to, may wake up.
