DEAR DHARMPAL JI

THANX FOR BRINGING UP THIS TOPIC FOR DISCUSSION. ALTHOUGH THERE R A FEW MISTAKES IN THE LIST WHICH I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT AT THE END OF THIS POSTING, I FEEL COMFORTED KNOWING THAT THERE IS ATLEAST ONE MORE GUY WHO READS THE LOWER HALF OF THE SPORTS PAGE (THE UPPER HALF IS DEVOTED TO CRICKET).

CRICKET LOVERS PLEASE DO NOT TAKE ME WRONG. I M NOT ASKING YOU TO STOP WATCHING CRICKET. THE THING THAT HURTS ME MOST IS THE FACT THAT NONCRICKETERS DO NOT GET THEIR DUE RECOGNITION. I M ALSO A CRICKET LOVER LIKE EVERY OTHER INDIAN, IN FACT VIJAY DAHIYA (WICKET KEEPER), A JAT FROM SONIPAT (NOW RESIDING IN DELHI) IS A FRIEND OF MINE, BUT I ALSO KEEP TRACK OF OTHER SPORTS.

MOST OF IT IS DUE TO THE MARKET FORCES. OTHER FEDERATIONS (ATLEAST THE INDIAN ATHLETIC FEDERATION) ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE SPONSORS TO INVEST MONEY BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO PUT FORWARD A REALLY NICE, THOUGHT OUT/ PRACTICAL PLAN TO SUCCEED. BEST OF LUCK TO THEM. THIS CONCEPT OF....A HANDFUL OF SPORTS/GAMES GETTING ALL THE SPONSORS' MONEY IS NOT FOREIGN TO THE AMERICAN SPORTS MARKET EITHER.

HERE ALSO IF YOU DO NOT PLAY...AMERICAN FOOTBALL, BASKETBALL OR BASEBALL.... YOU STAND A VERY LITTLE CHANCE OF STRIKING A BIG DEAL, UNLESS YOU R A LEGEND LIKE SAMPRAS OR AGASSI. WELL I GUESS THAT'S THE WAY LIFE IS.

I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE FOLLOWING CORRECTIONS IN THE LIST (WITH DUE RESPECT TO DHARMPAL JI):

I TALKED TO SHAKTI 2 DAYS AGO AND HE TOLD ME THAT HE GOT 5 LAKHS.

SHAKTI SINGH'S LAST NAME IS RANGI NOT SANGWAN.

ANIL KUMAR (BRONZE MEDAL IN DISCUS THROW) WHO HAPPENS TO BE FROM SHAKTI'S VILLAGE IS A SANGWAN.

NEELAM JASWANT SINGH (GOLD IN DISCUS) IS FROM PUNJAB. ALTHOUGH SHE WAS BORN IN HARYANA BUT IS MARRIED TO JASWANT (FROM PUNJAB) AND LIVES IN KAPURTHALA. I M HAPPY FOR NEELAM IF SHE GOT THE AWARD FROM HARYANA GOVT, BUT IN THE PAST 10 YEARS SHE HAS NOT REPRESENTED ANY OTHER STATE/UNIT OTHER THAN PUNJAB OR RAILWAYS.

C YA SOON.

CHEERS

Dear Kapoor singh
Thank you for the correction. My information is based on internet& news agency. some time they print any story. I checked the news agency.
They are saying gold medallist got RS 10 Lakh. 7 of them are gold medallist
Silver RS 7 Lakh- Bronze RS 5 Lakh each.
Nilam j-singh got 10 lakh- She is still a Jind girl- daughter of Haryana-at least in record of
Haryana Government so good luck to her.
Some of my informations are from personal contact.
The Sangwan Khap panchayat honoured some players- few years back
at Dada Sangu Dham at Kheri bura- near my village. These players were mostly sangwan
including- Lilaram- Rajkumar boxer- Anil kumar- captain of Indian Khabddi team & shakti singh. I was told by Col. Risalsingh of charkhi- head Pardhan of Sangwan khap that both Shakti singh & Anil kumar are both Sangwan of Digawa village. this is mixup.
Thank you for correct information.
I am also glad to know that you are good friend of Shakti singh- Rajender singh & other.
It was one man Dudee team before- now we are three.
I hope more sports person will join soon.
Please write or mail your introduction as well.
With best wishes & greetings to all of you .
God bless you & your team.
