Sania Mirza,the first woman tennis sensation of India.Yes everyone says that,but i'm not completely agree with this.
It's true that she gave a new direction to the Indian sports,before her all the attention was on cricket.Cricket still occupy the top position in India but now we have learnt to enjoy other sports also.So the credit for this goes to her.For that she should be praised.
But i think that she is over hyped by all the media,and that has let the other good sports persons down.just Tell me what has she done?She has just won a single tournament,that was also in India,In which she had not to face any strong top seed contender.In all other seasons of the world she has not done better yet.She just cross a round or two and get out of the tournament,I have got very irritated seeing the news of her,but the media still use the word 'sensation' for her.Why?
The reason is very simple and some people will not like to read it here,they would say that i have a cheap mentality.But it's true that she get the attention because she looks good,She is sexy girl,and people like to watch her as an eye candy.SORRY SANIA but its true.Media also knows this fact that's why it gives her more attention than any other sport.
Last week as usual when she got out from the French Open,the usual news was there in the news papers.But the space given to her was larger than other sports news.
Now i will tell you what has done in the last week for Indian sports,around the world:
MAY 25TH:
A.Sharat Kamal played the final of Commonwealth Table Tennis in Glasgow.
Ram Asrey Yadav won silver of Judo in Chinese Taipei.
L.Haridas won 3golds and 4 silvers of Asia Grand Pre at Tehran.
MAY 28th:
Sangram Dahia won 2 golds in Junior Shot gun Invitation Championship in Finland.
Rashmi Chakroverty played the semi final of Women Future Tournament.
MAY 30th:
Shreyashi Singh won a gold of shooting in a tournament in Finland.
Sandeep Singh won silver in AIBA world Junior Boxing in Armenia
Surender Singh won 3 golds in 3000m. race in Hongkong.
Ravinder Kumar and Sandeep Kumar won silver and bronze respectively in the same event.
Saina Nehwal got hte rank 7 in the World Badminton.
This all happened last week but none of them got the attention of media.They has just got almost an invisible corner in the news papers,and totally missed by electronic media.but if Sania would have managed to reach ahead in French Open that would be a whole day story for all the news channels.So are these sports persons less eligible or these sports have less importance for them,or tennis and cricket need more talent than these sports mentioned above?
But our media works for TRP,they say themselves that 'JO DIKHTA HAI,WO BIKTA HAI'(one which ha glamour,is popular)
Sania just participate in a tournament plays a match or two and got out.it happens every time.But media still loves her.
I think Saina Nehwal is the best ever female sports person from India ever but i don't know why media not active for her.She has got the 7th rank in her sport that was always a dream for Sania.
Its media has made her a star,its not bad to do but its their responsibility to catch all the others sports persons also.When she is hyped by media parents started to let their children in to tennis,and i'm sure that if media would understand its responsibility,we would have a lot of gold in the Olympics.
So my request to media:Please do your work sincerely.You can create a lot of sports stars.By doing this at least you can encourage players to do much better in their next attempt.You just need to give hype to the star of the day.Sania is not the only player in the world.
