The kid showed promise with his deft footwork and ball control - Don Bosco soccer ground, Koregaon Park, Pune

India is a country where the government administration, schools, educational bodies, parents, teachers, sports organisations and poverty, all do their bit to ensure that sportsmen and women of international quality are not produced... While other nations have developed specialised PE and sports curricula in their schools, India still adheres to the kind of PE that was introduced during the Raj. A PE designed to subjugate and control, not to produce embryonic modern sports persons! Most schools see PE periods as periods for Drill or games and most do not have a progressive, age specific syllabus. All modern sports require specialised teaching and progressive age specific development programmes, but this does not happen even in 'prestigious' schools.
