Hunting tribes should be
promoted for sports in India
Everybody knows that tribal living
around forest areas are blessed with sharp eyes, ears, capacity to run faster
and perfect in archery. These people are skilled enough in activities necessary
for a sports person by birth. Besides on other side, India is battling with its
poor performance in sports activities excluding the cricket match on
international platform. We Indians watch the Olympic Games very
enthusiastically but when it comes about performance, we collect hardly one of
two medals. And if you are talking about the FIFA world cup, India is not
eligible at all. It is all about proper planning and strategy of the
government.
It is really strange that a country
having population of 1.2 billion is worse in sports while country having half
or even one third of India is much advances and best in international sports.
There is no doubt, India has sporting talent to produce good sportsmen and
women but the need is proper planning, strategy and identification. Leaving
cricket, India’s performance in other games like hockey, archery, tennis, and
marathon is almost zero.
If our government plans well to motivate the tribal people who are known as hunters in dark forest, two positive things would be appeared. First one is that these nomadic tribes would get a normal life away from animal hunting and the second part is India would get excellent sports person in different sector. Sangeeta Saxena, WWF state director (MP&CG) says that nomadic tribes especially Pardhy, Gond, Bhil, Baighs etc have very sharp eye sight. They can hear noise of waving leaves, they can run as fast as wild cat but unfortunately these tribes are still living their lives in dark forest, depend on hunting wild animals. They are literally far away from the modern life style. These nomadic tribes have spent their life in dark jungles where they got training of hunting wild cat and other dangerous species by their ancestors. They are skilled enough from their childhood and habitual of living with the wild animals. They are fearless and trained to follow the animals for miles. An effort to train and motivate these tribes towards the sports is need of the hours. In this way, government would get skilled sports person to compete on international platform and it will also help the forest department to stop animal hunting.
