US presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy questioned the Gross National Product (GNP) — GDP plus factor incomes earned by foreign residents, minus income earned in the domestic economy by non-residents — during the first campaign speech in 1968. 'It measures neither our wit nor our courage, neither our wisdom nor our learning, neither our compassion nor our devotion to our country, it measures everything in short, except that which makes life worthwhile,' he had said.

Murlikant Petkar? I have performed the same drill in many of my talks. Rarely have I seen a hand go up. It’s a painful sight. And a proof that India still has distance to travel to become an inclusive, equal and a multisport nation. Petkar, now 77, is a war hero and the winner of India’s first-ever Paralympics gold medal. He won the gold in the 50m freestyle (swimming) in 1972 in Heidelberg, Germany with a then world record time. And that after he had sustained multiple bullet wounds, nine to be precise, in the 1965 India-Pakistan war. That he was still alive was a miracle. But he did not give up and went on to win multiple international medals thereafter to make his feat one of the greatest ever achievements in the history of Indian sport. Yet, very few know about him. Maybe with Kabir Khan now working on a biopic of Petkar with Kartik Aaryan in the lead, things will change. Like Bhaag Milkha Bhaag made Milkha Singh a household name to the current generation.

India brought a known story of indifference and discrimination to light. It helped illuminate how Indian women’s sport remains trapped within traditional gender stereotypes.

The World Cup is being held in India, but, hopefully, you got the drift.) But before that, Indian team management has a lot of important questions to address.HOLE IN THE MIDDLE Three players – KL Rahul, Shreyas Iyer and Rishabh Pant — who would have been a guarantee in the playing XI, have been injured for a while and are at different stages of recovery. Rahul and Iyer have good chances of getting fit in time for the World Cup, but will they be in prime shape, both physically and form-wise, to be trusted for such a big tournament? Pant, on the other hand, needs a miracle to make himself available for the World Cup. Even if he manages to perform the miracle, will he be ready? This has left Indian team management with a giant task of filling giant holes in the batting line-up.SURYA NOT SHINING BRIGHT Indian team management seems desperate for Suryakumar Yadav to bring his menacing 360-degree play, with which has taken the T20 cricket by storm, to the ODIs.
