India’s incredible sports spirit

Political communalism is working too well in India.

Media fanaticism of India is a known truth.

One more point needs to be stressed here about Indian approach to sports. Instead of true sportsmanship Indian teams show aggressive sprits in order to somehow in tournaments and one can see their arrogant postures on the field.

Exceptions could be there but they literally go mad if they lose a tournament because they have to show to neighboring countries especially Pakistan that they are a strong strong nation with tremendous skill prowess.

Indian insistence on wresting medals or tournaments is too tough.

Of late, Indian try to control many things in  sports events abroad as well like what color dress the opponent must wear and  they literally able to impose blue color on  them  Mary Com’s  final win was a case n point where  opponent was asked to  put on blue color while she had already decided to wear red  color and the  Indian side played that  very well..  One doubts if Mary Com had indeed won final and semi-final at all or some fixing took place in her favor because she is a mother of three boldly fighting in boxing ….

Sympathy for a mother is ok. But… you know…. Was there some understanding? Maybe no such things?

One another  matter is Indian sports boys and girls now avoid blue color in dressing though former Indian PM an innocent looking Manmohan Singh still sports a blue turban..But why?

Mean while Pakistan still with one gold medal in Asian Games and expecting the second one from hockey tomorrow. India is its traditional opponent and Pakistan has already thrashed India 2-1 to reach the semi final and can easily win the final and the gold to make 2 golds in its kitty.  

Indian team plays against Pakistan as if they are at a war  and not  in a sport event. And they want to kill Pakistan in any form.  The “kill them’ attitude in fact helps India win against Pakistan in any domain. Pakistan perhaps understands that.  India media must have already though about a proper title in case Indian wins.

Pakistan is strong in both defense and offence tactics but it still has to watch for Indian weaknesses and strong points to attack properly and win comfortably.
