Comments on: Jeev Milkha Singh http://prabhukrish.net/2006/10/30/jeev-milkha-singh/ A Ferrari and Chelsea fan, who seldom writes about them Tue, 02 Dec 2008 20:22:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Pratap http://prabhukrish.net/2006/10/30/jeev-milkha-singh/#comment-18256 Pratap Wed, 08 Nov 2006 19:21:19 +0000 http://prabhukrish.net/2006/10/30/jeev-milkha-singh/#comment-18256 Shame on Indian media, for being equally corrupt as indian politician. When a corrupt organization like BCCI runs the show the country goes to hell and the selected few benefit. When people like Anand and Jeev work their way through the corrupt Indian system, no one wants to laud them for they are scared that this may give rise to a new Bharat. Milkha Singh rightly returned tha Arjun award from these corrupt men in power. The Indian country is for the selected few rich people in power and they think the common man does not have the right to live happily in India. My sincere advise to Jeev is to take up residency in Europe or US for his bright future. The corrupt Indian society may not understand the greatness of his father and may hamper Jeev's progress in India. Shame on Indian media, for being equally corrupt as indian politician.

It was pityful, to see the difference. Well you know what they say, "when you point a finger elsewhere, you have three pointing back at you". The media sells what the people want to read. Its a vicious circle, that wud need a generation to break. and i dont see ours being it... if we need a change, we ought to be the change.... cheers!

Indian sports should consider giving more importance to athelets where individual performance is seen. you are right prabhu, when sania wins or even entering the semi final she is on the front page and almost all pages. this is too much hype . and when anju george as an individual is on top, hardly any hype is given and as far as cricket is concerned, they are only loosing and so much money is paid to them.

Knowing what happens when a media hypes up sportspersons in this country, I am happy in a way that these golfers, chess champions stay away from the media glare and not get affected by this overhype. I hope they continue to shine in their domain and get the much needed sponsors (forget the media) attention. Indian media thrives on cricket, bollywood and political scandals!
