Suresh Kalmadi says politicians should run sports. If I may be allowed to say so, seriously, you are joking, Mr Kalmadi! I mentioned this guy in a previous post also. I believe he has been around since the time I remember hearing about the Indian Olympics Association. How exactly has he achieved this? Is what he is doing a lifetime job?
Our sporting prowess is well known. There are occasional glimmers of hope who die down after some time. Some give shocks (at least till they clarify) like Sania Mirza. So would it not be a better to create a body of sportsmen with either a sportsman or an eminent person or a civil servant to take care of all our sports? Anyone but politicians!
In an interesting event an Indian American is heading the prosecution of Faisal Shahzad, the Pakistan-origin man who is accused of planting a bomb at Times Square in New York. Another India-Pakistan battle in the offing?
