Are Sportswomen Really Independent

In our Country ?

Nowadays, whenever we see a woman working in any field, the thought
that comes to our mind is the way she is able to handle all the stuff of office and

work; But what about sportswomen ? Do they really get that much of importance

as other women ?
As a result, if we compare the population of women in educational field

and sports we’ll find a huge difference. Who created that difference the women

or our society ? If anyone asks a 30 years old man or woman that who is captain of

Indian women cricket team, they would not be able to tell you; there would be
hardly anyone. On the other hand, a seven years old child can tell that Indian men

cricket team captain is M.S. Dhoni, Every football fan will praise Lionel Messi for

getting a golden football but not Christine Sinclair. In an interview. Indian women

cricket team captain; Mitali Raj said, “In other countries women get support on
sport fields from society also apart from their familities”

Furthermore, if you see in a be hardly anyone present in the stadium and in

case of men no matter whenther it is IPL, test-match or ODI’s thousands of people
be rush to watch it. In fact, we do not bother to watch a women cricket match or

Kabaddi match on telvision, In conclusion we are not accepting them mentally in

sports field, Nobody is born Sania Mirza or Saina Nehwal, it is we , our support and

their struggle what makes them what they are. A girl would think of making a
cancer in sports if we respect and recognise them. What we should do is tp make

them see a different world and think in a different way, because it matters a lot.
