Best ambassador of India
by King Quality on Oct 16, 2007 08:30 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Viswanathan Anand is the best ambassador of sport in India.

Forget Tendulkar and Sania......They are over hyped sport icons...

Viswanathan Anand has never got his due credit and it is time that we recognize his achievements !!!!

Viswanathan Anand, if analyzed fairly, is the greatest Indian sportsman ever, and by a fairly long margin. Nobody else is even close to him. Paes and Bhuapthi, with their grandslams doubles titles come a distant second.

Absolutely right Sarath!
No other sports person, including Prakash padukone did not occupy the top few places with such consistency and ever improving for such a long time! Without doubt, Anand is the best sportsperson India has ever produced. He deserves to be decorated with Padma Vibhushan!
