Some people would like to give financial support to the athletes in India's Olympic contingent that went to Beijing. They do not wa...

Enough of the experiment with this ad-hoc committee, who have not done even ONE thnig right so far, and have taken every step to accelerate the death of Indian hockey. I want to see those idiots gone! Come on back sir, Mr.Gill. I now officially wit...

Budget for Sports and Games - from Govt. of India 2007-08 Rs.603.58 crores 2008-09 Rs.781.83 crores IIRC the MTC has spent about Rs.40 crores on their wards in the run-up to Beijing Olympics.
