India’s New Sports Stars and the Power of Hard Work

-



 India’s new chess star, Ramesh Babu Praggnanandhaa, is just 19 years old and has become an inspiration for the whole country. At the Bacau Chess Festival, he finished second in the world, ahead of famous players like Hikaru Nakamura and Fabiano Caruana. Even though he could not defeat the world champion Magnus Carlsen from Norway, he won the hearts of millions of Indians.

Praggnanandhaa’s journey gives hope to young people, especially from middle-class families, who dream of achieving something great.

A New Era of Indian Sports

Back in 1982, when Doordarshan brought television into Indian homes, it opened the door for sports to reach every household. People could now watch cricket, badminton, tennis, chess, and many other sports right from their living rooms.
 This simple change helped a new generation of athletes grow. Children began to dream, and families started to believe that sports could build a bright future.

Sachin’s Rise and the Birth of New Dreams

India’s biggest turning point came with the rise of Sachin Tendulkar. His success after India’s 1983 Cricket World Cup win inspired millions. Sachin came from Mumbai, a busy and crowded city, yet he became one of the world’s greatest players.
 During Sachin’s time, a young boy from Ranchi named Mahendra Singh Dhoni found motivation. Dhoni’s rise from a small town to India’s most successful cricket captain shows how dreams can come true with hard work.

Neeraj Chopra: A Golden Inspiration

In 2020, Neeraj Chopra brought glory to India with his historic Olympic gold. He comes from a small village called Khandra in Panipat, Haryana. His father, Satish Kumar, was a farmer. Neeraj’s journey shows how dedication, discipline, and support from family can help anyone achieve greatness.
 His victory pushed many young athletes to believe that they too can succeed in sports.

India’s Growing Love for Sports

Today, many of India’s top athletes come from small towns and middle-class families. Their success has started a national search for talent. Parents are now more willing to support their children’s sports dreams.

Bill Gates once said:
 “It’s not your fault if you are born poor, but if you die poor, it is your mistake.”
 This thought has inspired many young Indians.

Sports today offer both glamour and good earnings, but what matters most is:

Real talent, Hard work, Dedication, And the courage to push your limits

This new wave of athletes is proving that with belief and effort, anyone can rise and shine—no matter where they come from.

  MS Dhoni:  Yesterday Little Master Sunil Gavaskar became emotional While taking an autograph from Dhoni. He said "What Dhoni did for Indian cricket is just unbelievable! It's a great moment for me."  The reaction of Sunil Gavaskar told the contribution of Ms Dhoni and as sportspersons how big he is!  "Every successful story has a painful story, every painful story has a successful ending."  This sentence is appropriately fitted in the life of captain cool.

A man with immense skill resigned from his job...
