Archery in India
Sunday, August 10, 2008
The game of archery is making rapid strides in India with more and more youngsters taking to the game. With international laurels pouring thick and fast, India is fast emerging as an archery powerhouse.
With a bunch of young talents like Jayant Talukdar, Tarundeep Rai and Rahul Banerjee making waves at the big stage, India looks all set to break the Korean stranglehold on the World Archery Championship. The fact that Indian finished second to the mighty Koreans at the 2005 World Championship is ample proof of their growing stature.
At the home front, archery has found favor among a wider section of the society with modern equipment coming in and with job opportunities opening up in a big way for the sport's stars. Traditionally dominated by champion archers from tribal communities, today a major chunk of the archers come from non-tribal areas with good educational backgrounds.
