Leaguing towards Sporting Nation

Vikas Gowda,Ravi Kumar,Mary Kom,Rakesh Kumar,Seema Punia,Yogeshwar Dutt,Abhinav Bindra,Sushil Kumar,Babita Kumari ,Sania Mirza,Saina Nehawal etc etc.There is more to this list.India once criticized to be non sporting nation or so to say cricketing nation.Nation was obsessed with cricket where sports was synomous to cricket.But this cliché has completely changed.What Best statistics has proved it Be it Glassgow Common Wealth Games or Recent Asian Games held at Incheon .India has scored high in these games.India was ranked 8th and  5th in Common Wealth Games  and Asian Games respectively.So what we have done differently that we have scored and progressing towards sport superpower.Previously  we were almost begging for getting a medal.It was clear shame that nation of great population could not produce great sports persons.

But during course of time this has changed.After the success of IPL,Winning of Cricket world cup and unexpected Gold by Abhinav Bindra in 2008 were some tip of iceberg movements for Indian sport.IPL which is a  great success where raw talent got international exposure and all foreign players  became local.This was beginning of club or league sport in India.The same thing got replicated in other sports in India be it Hockey India League ,IBL(India Badminton League) and  recently concluded most popular Pro Kabbadi League  .Leaving Hockey,Badminton and Kabaddi recent sport which is getting added to the leagues zonner of sport is soccer.Soccer which is considered beautiful game gets boost with India Super League.As our domestic circuit is getting stronger,getting international exposure and our players are knowing how to handle pressure.Competition is healthy and we have great pool of talent so this time we are not short of choice but we have plenty to choose.Thanks to film stars,corporates and team owners who have come ahead for the growth of other sports in India
