Saina Nehwal had sponsorships and comes from a well of family. Mary Kom came up with lots of hardships and from a poor background against all odds. Mary Kom won 12 Gold Medals in the International Arena and olympics bronze medal. Mary Kom operated on second hand gym equipment till she went to London Olympics and used to workout in open playground...Now who do you think really deserves a BMW or a MUV / SUV ?. How many Industrialists or Corporate CEO's came forward to gift Mary Kom ?. Isn't this bias just because she is a C*h*i*n*k*i...This is how North Indian players like the little master are biased and unjust....

Abhinav Bindra, Saina Nehwal, Rajvardhan Singh Rathod come from stinking rich affluent families who can gift the Indian Government back even after winning medals. Their families have earned so much. They took Sports as a hobby, not Mary Kom, Sushil or Yogender they came up against all odds....They deserve more adulation and financial support....

Saina's BMW

Schumacher gifts Sachin a Ferrari and it turns out that Fiat got him to do so to avoid tax.
Chamundi is involved in scams involving misuse of HCA funds. Maybe the IT authorities should probe his 'generosity' as also if the Andhra Badminton Association has 'sanctioned' the gifts
a crook

MISLEADING NEWS
by rose thorn on Aug 20, 2012 11:46 AM

How ridiculously misleading is your headline!
SRT has just handed over the keys of the car gifted by mr Chamundeshwarnath, nothing from his pocket.
STOP misleading the readers!

If I would have been in the association, I would have gifted it myself! What connection does sachin has with that association or for that matter with badminton!!! - I guess the only reason he was called to give the keys was the make headlines!

Anyways in either case, this is sheer waste of money by the association! they should have instead put that in identifying more talent and bringing more laurels to the country!

If Saina would have refused this and instead demanded that the money be invested wisely, she would have soared in status atleast in my minds!

This gift a recognition of her talent . May be it looks like waste of money to some but for young badminton aspirants, and even from other sports , such recognition inspires them. Yes, money inspires.
While your view that the money could have been used for betterment of badminton is right but look at the fanfare around the event which will leads to looking up to badminton as a career option.

It's the Andhra Badminton Association who honoured the city girl by buying her the luxurious car. Sachin participated the felicitation organized by them and also took his fees.

REAL GOOD GESTURE
by Shilpa Mehta on Aug 20, 2012 10:32 AM  | Hide replies


Its really a generous & lion hearted gesture
by Sachin .
Hat's off to that great man . ( The car was financed by Sachin ,Don't get confused )
He even gifted Elantra to coach Gopichand for
his efforts to prepare Siana .
Siana is a greatest women Indian shuttler ever whom even chinese girls fear . She defeated top chinese players to win Thai & Malayasian open just few before Oylmpics .
