Cricketers are also National Heroes
by Vishnu on Mar 18, 2006 11:48 AM

What does Mr. Rajnath mean by saying that cricketers are just a source of entertainment. Is he forgetting that these are the people who are sweating out in the cricket feild for their country's pride. I have great respect for our freedom fighters. They have sacrificed their lives for our country's freedom. Now that we have freedom, heroes like Dravid & Narayan Murty are helpng our national development directly or indirectly. India is a cricket loving country & every win boosts the confidence of its citizens. That is the very spirit of sports.
Saying that the current national heroes are not role models & only our frredom fighters are role models is wrong. Youth should learn from the freedom fighters & also from the current heroes that whatever they do, they should excel in that & see to that the county's name is elevated.
Jai Hind
