The Growing Influence of Celebrity Politics in India ERIN WATSON-LYNN SHAUN STAR
The growing influence of celebrity politics in India ERIN WATSON-LYNN SHAUN STAR From Bollywood to cricket heroes, stars can do much more than simply encourage people to vote. Published 10 May 2019 Celebrities and politics are so closely intertwined in India that entire books have been written about “Bollywood Star Power in Indian Politics”. Whether we are talking about Bollywood superstars, Olympic medallists, or cricketing heroes, there are numerous examples of celebrities using their fame to advance a political agenda. From promoting democracy to advocating for a particular political party, or even running for election, celebrities are a mainstay in Indian elections. In Australia, Priyanka Chopra Jonas is probably more famous for marrying American popstar Nick Jonas than her Bollywood career. Back in India however, the former Miss World is one of Bollywood’s highest paid actresses. On social media she’s followed by 40 million people on Facebook, 35 million on Instagram, and 25 million on Twitter. Earlier this week Chopra Jonas proudly shared with the world a picture of the election ink on her index finger. Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Salman Khan and Anushka Sharma all shared similar photos encouraging their collective half a billion social media following to vote. Celebrities encouraging Indians to exercise their democratic right to vote is an important dimension of the 2019 general election. India is a country where 900 million people are eligible to vote, 130 million of them for the first time. But the use of influence on social media to mobilise voters is just one example of the way celebrities play an increasingly important role in Indian politics.

India, a country with second largest population, has struggled to win medals at Olympics. India dominated the hockey field in which it has won eight gold medals so far. But after 1980 Moscow Olympics, the hockey team failed to snatch a single medal. India first participated at the Olympic Games in 1900, with a lone athlete Norman Pritchard. The nation first sent a team to the Summer Olympic Games in 1920, and has participated in every Summer Games since then. India has so far won 9 gold medals, 6 silver and 11 bronze medals, a total of 26 medals in 30 Olympics Games. In the 1900 Paris Olympics, Norman Pritchard won silver medals in the 200m and the 200m hurdles. Between 1928 and 1980, Indian hockey team won 8 gold medals (1928, 1932, 1936, 1948, 1952, 1956, 1964, 1980). These were the only medal for India during that period. In the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, besides the gold from Indian men's hockey team, Khashaba Dadasaheb Jadhav won a bronze in men's wrestling freestyle bantamweight category. India won silver in men's hockey in 1960. In 1968 and 1972, men's hockey team managed to clinch bronze medals. In 1996, Leander Paes won a bronze in tennis. > Read: The phenomenon that's Leander Paes In 2000 and 2004 > Karnam Malleswari (weightlifting – 69 kg category) and Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore (shooting – double trap) won bronze and silver medals respectively. In 2008, Abhinav Bindra became the first Indian to win an individual gold medal. Vijender Singh (boxing) and Sushil Kumar won a bronze each at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

Press Release J&K's Lone Wrestler, Who Learns the Nuances by Watching Sushil and Bajrang's Videos on Youtube
Press Release J&K’s lone wrestler, who learns the nuances by watching Sushil and Bajrang’s videos on YouTube Pune, January 11: Not every heart-warming story is from the medallists. Some come from the likes of Deepak Singh from Jammu and Kashmir (J&K). For Deepak, the opportunity to come and compete at the Khelo India Youth Games is in itself a major step in his young career. He dreams of getting into one of Sports Authority of India’s scheme to ensure that he gets more opportunity, coaching and competition. Whatever he has learnt is from his coach and by watching videos of Sushil Kumar and Bajrang Punia. He lost his first bout against Maharashtra’s Parveen in the boys U-17 freestyle wrestling 55kg weight category on Friday. Yet, the 16-year-old is not as dejected as you would expect from an early loser. He calls it a learning phase. “I am from Kathua, and not a single kid in my school (GHSS Badnota School) or in that area is into wrestling. So I can’t practice unless I participate in any tournament. Therefore, every such event is a learning step for me and try to improve my performance by learning from my mistakes,” said Deepak. “We have traditional wrestling but modern wrestling infrastructure, training and support system does not exist in J&K. There are no coaches or even mats in our area,” he added. Naturally, Deepak is a lone entry from his state in the wrestling discipline in Khelo India Youth Games, Pune and this is the first national tournament for the wrestler.

Fit India Movement
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DELHI Launch of FIT INDIA MOVEMENT 29Tth August 2019 REPORT By:- Dr. Anidev singh Student Activity & sports officer National institute of technology Delhi INTRODUCTION OF FIT INDIA MOVEMENT Honourable Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi launched “Fit India Movement” at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium on the occasion of National Sports Day celebrated every year on 29th August, the birth anniversary of Indian Hockey Wizard, Major Dhyanchand, saying the initiative is the need of the hour and will take the country towards a healthier future. At a colourful ceremony, which included a presentation of India's indigenous martial art forms, dances and sports, Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi said technology has contributed to a sedentary lifestyle. The campaign is aimed at encouraging people to include physical activity and sports in their everyday lives. "Fitness has always been an integral part of our culture. But there is indifference towards fitness issues now. A few decades back, a normal person would walk 8- 10km in a day, do cycling or run," PM said at the event."But with technology, physical activity has reduced. We walk less now and the same technology tells us that we are not walking enough," he added. The Prime Minister also administered a fitness pledge in his address, inviting all Indians to join in spreading awareness towards physical fitness. The launch was also attended by Sports Minister Shri Kiren Rijiju and this year's National Sports Awards winners among others. The Prime Minister congratulated the winners of the national sports awards and lauded India's sporting achievements.
