Olympic broze medal dies in poverty.
This month Abhinav Bindra won the gold medal for india and made country proud.we are proud of you. congrats.
But we have to remember and look into the past ,1952 olympics broze medal ,winner died in a poverty and he was not awared any national medal.
Very few people remembered him .
So this moment brings happines as well as sadness who know the truth ,who value the of winning gold medal or a medal at olympics.
Do you think any other sport than Cricket is given importance by government ?
