SPORTS 

'Sports' a word that needs physical as well as mental strength. There are enumerate kinds. Unfortunately India knows a very few and clearly celebrates only one that is 'Cricket'. 

It is not bad to love a sport. But almost neglecting others is also not good. The craze of Cricket is increasing day by day. It has massive imprints on people's mind. It is no more a sport now. It has become a festival which is celebrated all over. The players have became dieties. 

Cricketers earn a lot in terms of other sport players. Most of the attention, love, facilities are provided to them. Hockey, being our national sport is just for name sake. In olympics, India participates in very few sports. Players from other sports like hockey, archery, badminton, javelin throw, etc are not supplied with adequate equipments, coaches, financial support and many more.

These players have to strive hard to prove themselves. If they fail to do so we take no time in complaining and judging them. We do not even think about the pain, hardwork and the circumstances they have faced. When they win, we celebrate their success rather than celebrating them. Even after gaining laurels for the country they are deprived from facilities. 

Why only cricketers earn in massive numbers? Do other sports don't deserve it. Why are they neglected? Why only they have to prove themselves all the time? Why aren't all sports treated equally? Every sport and sport person has its own demands and challenges. Unless we find answers to these questions nothing will change. Its not about comparing any sport but accepting the reality. We need equality in all aspects.
