WATCH: Shameful day for Indian sports, women Kabaddi players served food on 'toilet floor'

Letting down the natives with mismanagement, and a reluctant attitude toward the players is not something new from the Indian sports authorities. There have been pieces of news about the incidents of misbehaving, and disrespect of the players. A similar has happened again in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh with state-level women Kabaddi players.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been quite supportive in his statements about sports making India a superpower in sports. In all the results, PM Modi went on to support athletes in all circumstances apart from the results.

But apart from this, there is a major problem with the mindset of the Indian sports administrators that they treat the achievers as heroes. But on the other hand, they go the extra mile ahead to treat the struggling sportspersons like prisoners in jail.

It’s a feeling in the hearts of all of us that our Athletes should do well and make the country and natives feel proud of their achievements. But before the accomplishment of that feat, we never even try to entertain them in the way they actually deserve.

The videos from the city of Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh are enough to prove the secondary and reluctant behavior of the administrators toward the struggling individuals in the field of sports.

Here’re the visuals from Saharanpur:

It all happened when state-level players from various states were gathered there for an Under-17 state Kabaddi tournament at the state level. The management sent the invitations to the players a month ago. So, this mismanagement and misconduct can’t be excused by saying it as a lack of time.

The time of one month is more than enough for an organizer to make all the things fall in place before the time. But they never cared for that. It's nothing to be shocked about, but something to feel shame on as they may have ignored it with the thought that nobody else will notice this and this would not be an issue.

But, the video went immediately viral on social media within minutes of being shared by the user on the social media platform Twitter.
