The Commonwealth Games and the Asian Games results have shown that India has the potential to excel. We have done well in spite of the Kalmadis, Rajas and Rajus, but we need to professionalise leadership at the sports ministry and delink sports and sports administration from politicians.
Also, sportsmen should be encouraged and provided financial support and other incentives, help them concentrate on sports rather than on making both ends meet.
