@Harshdubey9956 how many educated sc/st right were there during independence? how many of them knew about their rights? how many were freely able to exercise their rights without facing discrimination or abuse?

AIFF AND THE ASIAN GAMES FIASCO
India’s non-participation in the 2026 Asian Games football tournament is certainly a disappointment. A bigger disappointment is the unflappable stance displayed by the AIFF in accepting the sports ministry's decision. It’s a classic example of its lacklustre mindset and complete disregard for Indian football’s historic association with Asian Games football.
If sources are to be believed, not one appeal the AIFF made to the ministry requesting a change of mind; not one letter it wrote urging the men’s and women’s teams may at least be cleared on a “no cost to the government” basis. It never pointed out that the women’s team, which qualified for the Asian Cup, deserves the Asian Games exposure for their future progress.
AIFF has time for plenty of stinking agenda-based nonsense, from attempting to change “India” to “Bharat” to amending the constitution to allow its employees to continue beyond 60 years of age. But it has no time to negotiate with the government for Asian Games clearance, which would have done a huge favour to India’s under-23 footballers.
The government's reluctance to disallow the football teams from participation because of non-performance is nothing new. It happened in the previous Asian Games too. Huge social media pressure initiated by the fans, coach Igor Stimac’s open letter to the Prime Minister and the AIFF's regular talks with the ministry resulted in the decision being reversed.
In 1962, the government initially didn’t clear the football team for two reasons. First, the team didn’t win a medal in the 1954 and 1958 Asian Games. Second, the country was facing a shortage of foreign exchange. The AIFF president and secretary lobbied hard within the ruling party and managed to take things to the level of the Prime Minister and Finance Minister. Finally, the government cleared a team of 16 players and one coach. No assistant coach, no manager. The team returned with the gold medal.
William Shakespeare said, "How sharper than a serpent's tooth it is/To have a thankless child!” Should we say the same about the current lot of Indian football officials?

Over the years, Neville D'Souza Ground has been the footballing soul of Aamchi City. It's where countless people found a home through football. Here rivals became friends, friends became family. Together we shared dreams, wins, losses, joy and heartbreaks.
We hope this ground continues to be preserved for the growth and betterment of the beautiful game in Mumbai.
A city that loses its playgrounds slowly loses its champions. ⚽
Mumbai could soon lose one of its last football grounds—the very ground that honours Neville D'Souza, India's Olympic football legend.
For thousands of young players, this isn't just open land; it's where dreams begin.
When playgrounds make way for concrete, we don't just lose space—we lose future athletes, future victories, and a part of our sporting legacy.
Should cities protect their playing fields? Tell us in the comments.

Reporter: What are your demands?
Aarav: Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation.
Reporter: If Dharmendra Pradhan doesn't resign today, will you still support CJP?
Aarav: I have no personal attachment to CJP. I will support any party that raises my issues. I haven't come for CJP. I have come for Dharmendra Pradhan's resignation. My issues are not Hindu-Muslim. My issues are education, healthcare, etc.
