Handball India in Golden days.....will it sustain...!!!

Handball is highly spirited, most interesting and high speed game. Its worth watching sport of short duration. But this is not so popular in India, but  europe and some other Asian countries enjoy wide popularty. In past 11 months India have scaled new highs in terms of achievments. The  efforts of players, coaches and administrators are appreciable.

But the platform of recognition is yet too far to be accepted Handball as main line sport. No doubts cricket takes the king's place but Hockey, football, Basketball, Volleyball are still better popular sport as far as India is concern. Other games i.e. Tennis, Squash, Golf, Billiards and TT etc are played by less than half a percent people in India. Badminton is on the card far quite sometimes.

Handball has complete potential to win hearts of Indian, all we need is to make efforts to bring this game at par with others. My request to all readers is to unite for Handball and suggest your ideas to Improve the standard of the game and increas popularty.  Lets rise and shine to contribute our bit for Handball India.
