Golden gloves - MC Mary Kom
Ashraf Engineer on: August 6, 2012
Before Mary Kom left for London, she told Chitra that she hoped she would get land for the boxing academy that is her dream
"Let's see how you do in London. Then we'll talk about the land," a senior Manipur government functionary sniggered, Mary Kom claimed to Chitra.
Chitra brushed aside my argument that at least now Mary Kom's claims can't be ignored. Don't underestimate official apathy, she said. "You know what the government will be thinking?" she laughed ironically. "With Mary Kom doing well and another Manipuri, Devendro Singh Laishram, on course for a medal, they'll be fretting about how much money they'll have to shell out to both in state awards. Other states would lavish crores on such athletes."
