               Games, though essential, should not become the be-all the end-all of student life. Generally the sportsmen waste too much time on them, and fail in their examination. Again, if a player plays a game rashly, there is every danger of his breaking a limb. If it is played without the spirit of sportsmanship, it can lead to bad blood and quarrels. But in spite of all these minor defects, sports are very useful in keeping the students busy and in developing their personalities. India expects its citizens to have the qualities of true sportsmen. If we all acquire these qualities, there will be no narrow-mindedness, no corruption and no injustice. There will be independence in the real sense of the word.
