India's success in Paralympics 2016

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.

I am so glad that you brought this to discussion. As a special educator, I work with these disabled or rather I prefer to call them differently abled children. I constantly keep promoting a need for Inclusive Society. I have worked for several years with different disabilities but have come out with one conclusion, the disability is superficial and it does not touch the soul or dampens the spirit. With little encouragement and support from family and system and with their grit and perseverance, they can achieve their dreams.

Sports is in a sorry state of affairs in our country and a lot needs to be done at social as well as political level for the betterment of it. We do not lack talents in our country but do lack many things to support them. And the saddest part of this country is that everything goes through the gateway of Politics and gets abused and misused. The sorry state of athletes who brought glory to the country is discouraging for youngsters. Seeing the sufferings of such achievers, the younger generation hesitates to pursue sports.

Allow me to congratulate you for your interest on  differently able children. Any one be it a differently able or an normal person, seemingly impossible things can be made possible with three 'D's. Discipline, Determination and dedication.
