You probably would have come across the recent news on a teacher who allegedly told his student to convert to Islam to boost his chances of making it to the national football team. Click HERE to read the previous story on this case. 

Who said you have to convert to enter Malaysian stadiums? All it matters is the effort and the talent an individual puts in to aim for the place in sports, not the skin color. In fact, did you know we had amazing Indian athletes back then that created history and unbeatable records? 

Reminiscing the legendary Indian athletes-
