At last India has a Sportsman
India has at last won an Olympic Gold medal. Kudos to Devendra of the Indian Railways from Rajasthan. He has won the Gold medal in the Javelin throw in the Paralympics being held in Athens. Incidentally he is the World record holder in his section of this event. This great 24 year old physically handicapped Indian has done what hundreds of so called strong Indians could not do over the period of 100 years.
But what is most unfortunate is that our famous Chennai English Daily “The Hindu” which published big colour photos of our Weightlifters who brought disgrace to the country on drug charges could not publish a decent photo of this unsung hero. The photo published in page 21 of Chennai edition of “ The Hindu” dated 23rd September, 2004 does not even show his face, but only his shadow.

Hi Hari, I noticed the pic too and felt the same. They probably might not have got his pic and hence could have used a general pic. Hopefully, they should get around to showing the hero who finally got us the first olympic gold medal.
