HAHAHA DSouza...show me ex olympians who are famous in India...As far as sport is concerned cricket rules and has become the identity of India in sports. No wonder Oman wants a cricketer from India to carry the torch... it will be a joke to think a country like Oman will invite even a person like PT Usha ( who was the best runner we have produced but whose best record was finishing 4th in olympics...I guess.

Olympic is about world harmony and peace. They should understand that. Noone gives a damn about Shastri. Free Tibet.

Dsouza. Did you read the article or have you just displayed your typing skills coz you spotted a famous person's name?
"We should give this torch to ex olympic players..".. is all fine, but beside the point. WE are not giving the torch to Shastri. Oman Olympic Committee is.
As for your comment on cricket - even China wasn't a part of the original ancient Olympics. Only Greece was.
So obviously you must be against any non-Greek country participating in the Olympics, aren't you?
