A U-turn?

Just when we saw Sanias, Sainas, Malleshwaris and quite a handful of women sports-persons, putting India on the global map, a cloud of Sexual harassment claims hover around. Unfortunate, isn't it? It perhaps existed and rooted long ago, but coming to light now. It feels terrible to imagine what many might have gone through to uphold their passion for sports. And how many who could have brought glory to India backed out to show opposition for compromise ?

Just when people were opening up to different avenues, outside of academics, such bursts  of flame will sure make parents shun away from providing any encouragement to try the unconventional avenues. Who is to blame? The parents and guardians for not supporting their kids to try something that interests the latter? Or the dirty ugly world that sucks the modesty and kills the sportive spirit?

Every single time, we as a nation, take a U-turn, only the difference being the font of 'U', which seems to be getting only bigger!

 When there is a dearth in morality, how can we correlate the Indian population to strength? With monsters lurking all around, we will only go round and round.
