Of course they have made us proud , especially Devendra Jhajharoya by winning two gold medals. They have shown so much dedication and put in a lot of hard work. Inspite of receiving less help from the sports authorities, the para olympic team has fared much better !

Thnks shampa for the post... They have made us really proud ... My dad was telling me that gold me that devendar has not gone home for the last 2 yrs... N that his 2 yr old baby does not even know he exists. Goes on to show their dedication and hard work. They have made us so proud.

Hats off....!!!

A very commendable deed indeed .  Devendra Jhajatia, Meriyappan and other members who won the medals in Paralympics deserve all praise. They sent the message, Handicap will not dampen the Spirits of an achiever,. With grit, perseverance every thing can be achieved.

Sportsperson must have sporting spirit but sometimes they fail to show their sportsmanship. It is no doubt sad and even an Indian athlete in Rio Olympic came under doping charge which is really unfortunate.

It is said that when one door closes then another opens so is the case with our Paralympians. Tragedies do take place in life but these Paralympians have showered how to overcome it and emerge a winner. This requires strong will power, back support and certainly monetary support from authorities. Here, I would like to add that the authorities should not ignore the achievers but in some cases it does happen as in this case:

I agree with you. Kaushalendre Singh  a medal winner who brought Glory  to India in several international events. I also agree that Government of India should support these Champions during their old age and  difficult  Days.
