Their talent should not go waste. Surely there are many enlightened individuals and business houses in our country who will rise up to the occassion and display their generosity and magnanimity.

Very Unfortunate!!!!!!

It is very unfortunate that the father has to beg everyone to support his sons who are playing for India and making our country proud.

Why only cricket is being sponsored and not other games and promising sportspersons from other games.

chess - lack of funds
by mallikarjun on Dec 28, 2005 10:17 AM

you are mentioning about a boy who is 14 years with nice talent, that is appreciated and good work by you website. But did you ever wrote about boy called pentyala harikrishna?( he is world renowned except indian press( excluding andhrapradesh since he is from andhra pradesh). kasporov , karpov and many other chess giants said he is a world genius far better than vishwanathan anand or themselves. Last year his grandfather was going to everyplace to get some sponsership, only 2 telugu newspapers wrote articles about this.
He plays in different countries ( he is super grand master at extreamly young age and probably he is the youngest to become grandmaster) for which he need to take of huge expenses, only 1 company in andhra pradesh is sponsoring him which is not sufficient.
Sania mirza is just world number 33, this is nothing compared to harikrishna, in fact i have to mention about koneru humpy( she is also genius among women and also she competes with several men). Your site gives news about sania mirza but i have never seen giving news about above 2 rare finds of this world or karanam malleshware or infact very less news about indian diamond rajyavardhan singh.
