"In Indian chess, the new star Ramesh Babu Praggnanandhaa, aged 19, clinched the second position in the world rankings at the Bacau Chess Festival, leaving Nakamura in third place and Karuana in fourth in the final. He couldn't defeat the reigning world champion Magnus Carlsen from Norway, but he certainly won many hearts. Praggnanandhaa's triumph resonates with the youth of the nation, especially those from the middle class, who see a beacon of hope in the emerging generation of athletes.
In 1982, when television made its way to Indian homes through Doordarshan, it brought the broadcast of sports to every household. With belief in the potential of sports shaping the future, not only in cricket but also in badminton, tennis, chess, and other field sports, a new generation of athletes started to emerge.
The turning point for Indian sports came when Sachin Tendulkar, the international cricket sensation, rose to prominence. His success in the 1983 World Cup victory inspired countless others. Sachin was from the bustling city of Mumbai, and it was during his time that Ranchi's Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a small-town talent, found motivation.
The year 2020 witnessed the golden achievement of Neeraj Chopra, hailing from the small village of Khandra in Panipat, Haryana. His father, Satish Kumar, was a humble farmer. However, Neeraj's dedication and success in athletics inspired many young athletes to pursue excellence in the sport.
From the middle class and small towns, the success of these athletes sparked a nationwide quest for talent. Parents played a crucial role in nurturing these talents. As Bill Gates once said, 'It's not your fault if you're born poor, but if you die poor, it is your mistake.' This phrase resonates strongly with the current generation, and it is driving an increasing interest in sports, where glamour and money are both present. What's required is the deserving talent, relentless hard work, dedication, and the willingness to push oneself to the limit."
