Paralympic Archer Harvinder Singh Questions Disparity In Khel Ratna Awards
Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna: Indian archer Harvinder Singh, who made history at the Paris 2024 Paralympics by clinching a gold medal in the Men's Individual Recurve Open, has voiced his concerns about the recognition of Paris Paralympic achievements in India.
Singh, highlighted the disparity in awards particularly questioning why all Paris 2024 gold medallists have not been granted the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award as compared to Tokyo Olympics.
“Discrimination in sports,” Singh wrote on X. “Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Gold medalists were awarded the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award, but what about Paris 2024 Paralympic Gold medalists? Same competition, same gold, same pride — why not the same award?”
