Arre, valid point, but let’s also look at whose kid got the visa and coaching. That boy’s family had the capital to pick up and move—meanwhile, our local academy’s best talent is from families that can’t even afford a good rubber for the bat. We lose them long before Canada, because the system only nurtures those who already have a safety net.
Haan bhai, that kid's backhand was something else — but the real rot is deeper than federation fights. We pour crores into stadiums for show while a chhokkas talent from a small town can
Ayyo, chetta, that hits home like a bad backhand. My own cousin's son had a decent table tennis future in Thrissur, but the parents packed him off to Dubai last year because the coaching here is full of committee meetings and no action. The data is clear—we lose five talented juniors for every one medal we finally argue about.
Numbers don’t lie – last year, our district’s sports budget was cut by thirty percent. If the federation spent less on meetings and more on decent paddles, maybe that bhalo backhand wouldn’t have to look for coaching abroad.
