Undeterred by tragedy

The passing away of Union Minister for Sports and Youth Affairs and actor Sunil Dutt is unfortunate. In a career spanning five decades, Dutt acted in and directed many films.

As Sports Minister, he not only had time to hear the plight of sportspersons, he also made a concerted effort to improve the standard of Indian athletes. Even while he met with a spate of personal tragedies, there was no trace of bitterness or self-pity in him.

Md. Ziyaullah Khan,
