    After the boom, the bust.


    In a more later report, ministry has denied this!!

    AITA’s efforts to rope in US—based Prakash Amritraj in the Davis Cup squad to negate a boycott threat from the top players came to a nought today with the Sports Ministry sticking to its policy that only Indian passport holders can represent the country........

    There's nothing wrong with this...I won't bash the govt for this reason..there's enough arguments in either way... its a 50-50 issues, both ways there's advantages and disadvantages

    it will also help govt. mask us from the real probs in Indian sports....when u will get success through them, how many will question India's inability to create home grown sportsmen..I think its a complicated debate

    They cant even get India spelling correct no wonder Indian sports is in such condition. !

    well, if a foreign national had Indian passport, then I don't see why they should not be included...because Indian passport is not easy to get so one earns it by staying here etc. For example someone like Arata has been here, can understand the locals, can talk/partially talk in local language etc.... for me that's more Indian than some trying to be Indian because there grandparents/parents were once Indians

    One big problem is the indian passport. If don't allready have one it is realy realy hard to get a indian passport for those who don't even live in india. Another problem to get an indian passport u have to forfit your current nationality/passport.

    Why so ?? there are players like Harmeet or Netan who are so proud of their country of origin why shouldn't they represent us ??

    We should always be opportunistic.Look at countries like Turkey even though they have 1000 times better Sporting Organization and Infrastructure than us they still go for German bred Turkish players.

    In India people who make rules dont even know a thing about sports or are they interested to do anything serious to develop it.
