'I hope India will win 10 medals, including 2 golds, in the next Olympics' - Rediff.com News
'My vision for India is a clean and corruption-free country. The youth need to be actively involved in politics and policy making. It is easy to complain, but tough to make a positive difference,' says former Indian hockey captain Viren Rasquinha, COO, Olympic Gold Quest, in our special series where well-known Indians speak about their India.
I am a very proud patriotic Indian and I love the fact that we are a very vibrant democracy where we are free to do what we want and there are so many opportunities to follow our dreams.
The tremendous diversity of culture, language, food, customs and traditions, indeed makes India unique.
The Indian people are very warm, friendly and helpful. You can go unannounced to the neighbour and ask for rice/sugar etc and they would not mind.
You can meet friends without taking an appointment. These are the good things.
I think what is negative about us is our poor manners and social etiquette in general. For example, not holding the door open for a lady; throwing rubbish anywhere on the road. We need to work on cleanliness.
Some of the issues that need urgent attention is corruption at all levels of government, bureaucracy, business, the corporate sector and in sports.
We urgently need implementation of policy reforms.
The greatest challenges confronting India today are:
o Corruption
o Efficient development of infrastructure like roads, railways, airports
o Inflation
o High cost of living in urban cities
o Over population, especially in urban areas
o Reform of the education system with focus on vocational education
o Encouraging more education of women
o Safety of women
o Affordable housing
o Becoming a sports superpower
My vision for India is a clean and corruption-free country.
My big hope is that in the Rio de Janeiro Olympic Games in 2016, India will win 10 medals which will include at least 2 golds.
The youth need to be actively involved in politics and policy making. It is easy to complain, but tough to make a positive difference. We need to encourage the education of women. Each one, teach one is a great concept.
I have a lot of respect for India's armed forces. They still retain the aura of class, dignity and excellence in service and performance.
They have fought so many wars and have protected and won great honour for the nation.
My favourite Indian icons are Prakash Padukone, MC Mary Kom and Dhanraj Pillay.
Of India's beautiful places, my favourites are Mumbai and Goa, any place where there is a clean beach.
India has fantastic food. I love tandoori chicken and pav bhaji!
