Look what these NGOs and Politicians can do. Biranchi Das the coach who made and took care of Budhia was arrest for torturing the child.
When with the coach he Budhia was taken good care of. The Coach was a good man and was penalized for doing a good job and trying to make Budhia a great runner.
NGOs and Politicians are very bothered about Budhia had they shown such interest there would be not street urchin in Orrisa.
What can you expect of Budhia's mother she had given up the child long time back.
Now that the child is sperated from a father like coach he is just another street urchin

while what yu say is right. i was scared what the coach was ding with the boy. instead of letting develop his skills, he was millking the situation. making him run long distances at that age is inhuman, just because he can doesnt mean he should be tested. invest in the future, not the immidiate. he probably is olympic material. but he needs honing.
look at what the government does! it cant take care of a single prospective athlete. its pathetic!

Ashok, I would suggest you to please get the correct information first. Do you know at what age people in those countries that excelled in sport enroll children? Running is natural but there are strenuous sports like Gymnastics for which stamina build up is done by long distance running. And how many of the older players/ sportsmen/women who have started at 3 years of age have developed problems due to their early entry? Does any one have seen any existing anomaly or indicative future one, due to his long distance running?
The coach have treated the boy as a normal child should have been. Those who have physically seen the boy during training can only say as to whether there was anything wrong.
