Request every Indian who is reading this article to contribute any amount possible for the future of this young boy who has made us so proud. I request rediff to please carry a compaign to collect funds for him.
A great inspiration to young ones - The hostility he faced must not be from water or water creatures but our pathetic sport administrators- Please reimburse the parents all the expenses Sufyan incurred in making India country proud-
First we lost a great swimmer Kutral....Now We cannot sponsor this great swimmer and we will loose him as well. This is what Sufyan Shaikh should do to teach Indian government a lesson..
1..become a citizen of some rich country who supports their athletes. 2..Win Olympics with gold medal for them. 3..Teach India a valuable lesson. Out of embarrassment, the government will sponsor all the future athletes. 4..Sufyan Shaikh wins his gold medal as well. 5..Now Sufyan Shaikh had his dream fulfilled and did something good to the future athletes.
India is a country where sports minister gets millions to do nothing. where as the real talented sportsmen dont even get a t-shirt to represent india in sports. what a shame!!!

actually we people (habituated/ used to)comments without knowing the exact details of any case and behave like a emotional person. in our country you will find so many cases ,which are not at all published or highlighted by the media peoples. basically this is our responsibility to force our government to take care of all sports personnel from grass root level, talent search is required.

Why comment without reading the article? He clearly said that he cannot qualify as he has to compete in 14 events in a year, and nobody funds him for those events.
