No more bullets to fire

The National Rifle Association of India (NRAI) has tended to blood youngsters at CWG of late before sending the best of the best to competitive events like the Asian Games and the World Championships. With Glasgow out of the picture, preparations for bigger stages will get complicated. Of bigger consequence is whether India is losing its clout in the CGF high table. Even after high-power lobbying by the likes of former sports minister Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore, the organisers, citing a lack of infrastructure, stuck to their guns. The CGF just asked India to make peace with the decision. This would have been unthinkable a decade ago. Even when the New Delhi edition of the Games was stumbling from one fiasco to another in 2010, the CGF rallied behind the Indians. Now, that camaraderie and sense of brotherhood seem to be missing. But, to be fair, even other players involved in the shooting community tried to get it reinstated, but failed. What India has to do now is to ensure that such a scenario doesn't happen again. As it is, a few shooting-based events have already been removed from the Olympics. The last thing India needs is its quality athletes not having any international stage to showcase their talents.
