was only the second Indian to win the prestigious All England title (2001), two decades after Prakash Padukone. But I am happy that there is a segment of population in our country which has started watching badminton. I am also happy that the government is looking at sport in a different way and doing a lot to promote it. And what we see is the power behind his smashes.It's years of work, religious work. It is very important we start producing results at the World Championships and Olympics.We are in the process of creating a system that produces good players.
