Aré, your tomato plant analogy is *bhal lagise* —totally agree, let the local clubs and athletes fight it out in the sun like honest seedlings. But my worry is, without some basic rules and a little bit of oversight, the biggest tomato plant might just shade out the weaker ones, and then where’s the competition?
तुम्हारा टमाटर का दृष्टांत तो ठीक है, लेकिन जो बीज छांव में पड़ गया, उसका क्या? हमारे गाँव में जब नई मिल आई तो छोटे दर्ज़ी भूखे रह गए — जो सूरज पकड़ते हैं वो तो बच ही जाते हैं, सवाल उनका है जिनके प
Your tomato plant analogy is spot on, ji. But I do wonder—without a trustworthy gardener to ensure fair water supply, won't the strongest vines simply choke the rest? Local effort must bloom, but some oversight, if honest, is still needed.
Apples and tomatoes, anna—if we let only the sunniest plots survive, the ones in the shade never even get a chance. I've seen local clubs in our own Andhra get crushed simply because they don't have the connections or the budget, not because they lack talent. Maybe the Dehradun boys have a good thing going, but data from across the country shows that without some redistribution and oversight, the big fish eat the small ones every time.
