It is better if we could spend this money on budding sports persons. Perhaps then we will get more medals. How stupid are we ! We are spending big money on someone who would any way earn 100 times more from ad-industry and has no need of this pittance now.
This shows total mental bankruptcy of our politicians/ leaders/ businessmen. After winning Olympic medal she only needs respect and recognition and support for her next Olympic trial.
Cash award is an insult to her grit, determination and efforts. How cheap we have priced her big win. As if she was doing all this for money. Would Sindhu refuse all this monetary prizes and accept only awards and medals without money?
And the myopic politicians have forgotten the the Dronacharya - Gopichand. He needs greater money and greater recognition.
It is because of this mindset, we are unable to perform at world level.
वृथा वृष्टि: समुद्रेषु वृथा तृप्तेषु भोजनम् | वृथा दानम् धनाढयेषु वृथा दीपो दिवापि च ||
(Rain is meaningless in the sea, food to the satiated. Money is useless to the rich and lamp to the sun.)
