BBC NEWS | South Asia | Against the Odds: Vijender Kumar
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7482661.stm --- Although he is a boxing champion, Vijender Kumar is an oddity in India, a virtual one-sport country where cricket is religion. The son of a bus driver who worked overtime to pay for his coaching, Vijender is India's unsung champion boxer. "My blood boils when everybody goes gaga over cricket," says the 22-year-old, one of five boxers in India's modest Olympics contingent to Beijing this summer.

I appreciate all the games in India but I hate Cricket....I think cricket is not a game, it should be considered as an extra curricular activity which is done by people who can not play power sports. I think cricket is ruin of India.
