The Sania Effect

I thought the idea was that we admire them for the sports they play and not their sexiness. A lot of the Indian sports team is unsexy. Arjuna Ranatunga is frankly gross, but that doesn`t seem to affect their following.

I agree that women`s sports needs more attention but is the only solution desi Anna Kournikovas. Don`t we have enough women in the remix vidoes.

Saniajee,
help us all

Why do you people have a problem with the fact that a very beautiful and attractive woman also happens to be a talented professional athlete and recieves some attention for it? You all know well that Sania has won her titles on the merits of her athletic performance and not her looks, therefore her looks should not be held against her. If she is being celebrated, then leave her alone, because she also recieves and equal amount of critism for breaking the glass ceiling. Women, attractive or not, always end up paying their dues in one way or another, I dont think this beautiful woman needs more flak just for being athletically competative and pretty at the same time.

Re: # 46 There are 100`s of Sania Mirza`s languishing in India, We do not lack the talent we lack sponsorships, Sania was lucky to manage a dedicated GVK sponsor. Everyone is surrounded by media hype, why cannot you people be more practical.

A very good and anatical article, Sania is a media hype only coz of her looks, I found a very thought provoking article please check this link, http://asiatennis.blogdrive.com/archive/15.html

I don`t think she is talented, i played tennis too and i remember all the girls she has lost to in u12, u14,u16,u18 age groups, if she was talented then she wouldn`t have lost, anyways when you have a gvk reddy backing you up you dont really need talent

Re: # 51

The man speaks the truth.Why snarl at him?.Most ungracious.I dig you but i gotta stand with moi paysan on this one.

[ have met many PAkistani friends who have an irresponsible arrogance about the superiority of their brand of religious conservativism!!!] - ballukhan.

it`s your fault ballu... seeing the kow-towing subserviant creature you are...every one on two legs looks superior to you... ;)

IM may be ``conservative`` but certainly not regressive like many Pakistanis. They have certainly stopped huddling around and have opened up to diverse cultural experiences. They do not certainly go around arrogantly displaying their religiousity like Pakis do, nor do they claim to be purer then others..........I have met many PAkistani friends who have an irresponsible arrogance about the superiority of their brand of religious conservativism!!!

``We have to laugh at ourselves most of the time.``

Exactly. Unless we take life too seriously, it is theraupatic to slap our own backs if no one else will :)

India is also a hot country and on-set of heat has loosen the synapses of the brain.
......I agree.We all suffer brain loss from the heat.

having to cheer for someone ``just because she`s Indian
........another cogent point.I do the same to but half facetiously.We have to laugh at ourselves most of the time.

This article has raised some valid viewpoints.Thumbs up!.

Sania may not be good enough by some other standards, but by our standards she is darn good. That`s all that matters. She is the pride of every Indian.

Re: # 37hey, man dont belittle Rutgers - its ivy league! And being an elite pakistani YLH (mantolives) has the credentials to edit a newspaper so go belittling him. He is a good person with a dent head on his shoulders.

what percentage of Indian women are attractive any way ?
