Cheer up Guys !!! Atleast India won in Kabaddi

India clinches fifth consecutive Asian Games Kabaddi Gold by knocking Pakistan of 35 – 23 win. As they have at the previous four Asian Games, India’s raiders and catchers delivered the gold medal Wednesday, satisfying the expectations.  Guarding against the tendency of its raiders to be flamboyant at the start, the Indians played a composed game in the title contest against archrival Pakistan and dominated throughout the game.

Atleast one day every four years, the ancient sport of kabaddi knocks cricket off its perch as India’s national obsession. What do you say? Comments are very welcome :)

  1. Yeah…atleast the medals do count. Why are countries like China and Japan ahead of us in so many disciplines…coz they don’t really have this obsession with one game alone. I’m glad that areas like chess, billiards and kabaddi have been the ones which have given us the medals. Good going India. Keep it rocking!

  4. Congrats Team India … Basic reason for other sports like this not to get attension and medals is because of us, “we the Indians” are the number one responsible for killing other sports… First we shud stop watching lazy game cricket so that no media attension comes and no bussines man exploits Indians by showings whole day match and making us even lazy… Stop Stop Stop watching cricket and start playing, watching , encouraging other sports … lets our kids and next generation people see other sports in our country….

  6. You would be right pannu to take it sportively. But then from a country with the a population as high as ours we should be the best but we are the lousiest in all and also crcket as it is not them responsible but us who have to take the responsibility. Let us encourage everyone to take up different games let the attention that is going to cricket be focussed on other games also so it would be nice for s to do well in all the different games.
