You did a great job. But I feel that sports persons are demanding respect and awards. All of these must be earned. You must note that it is Cricket that has put India on top. Further, Indian cricketers have excellent administrators and marketing people. Other Indian sports are so polluted and politicised. Look at Indian hockey and football. KPS Gill, a retired bureacrat at the helm of affairs. I think they must award the title of head of IHF's marketing committee to a film star or a business man rather than a politician or a retired bureacrat. Their star power will definitely bring in more money into any sport and therefore more money to the achiever.

chess is a global sports played actively in around 150 nations whereas cricket is played actively hardly in 3-4 nations...
chess is more competive and watched by almost all the part of world...

it doesnt matter if chess is played in 150 nations...and cricket in only 12.... what matters is it is played in INDIA....
it doesnt matter if the european nations know about our T20 title or not.... what matters is the whole of INDIA knows about it....
So if u r more concerned about whether european nations know abt it or not...that is ur problem....
But Anand has certainly bring proud to INDIA... my heartiest congratulations for him..!!

that's a wonderful performance by an Indian. we feel so very proud of you Anand. you have climbed up the mountain and proved that India has a child with the brain of a world chess champion. good luck to you and we extend to you a warm welcome on your arrival on the Indian soil.
How can you compare 2 different game? Why this Anand not enter in to Olympics? where is he gone? Yes we will greet him but others crying for receiving him, Instead of asking others to stop shouting better you can shut your ear.
