Who should be the brand ambassador for the Commonwealth Games?

People who are known and forever hungry for more name and fame, may be ready to do anything to get their name pasted with zero input and full ownership would remain aplenty.

Yet in a democracy where it is public money and not the individual's who stake their name claim on plaque. We must not continue to forget the Man who toiled incessantly, worked hard and may have even paid with his/ her life for that creation, deserves first and foremost mention on plaque. Be its a bridge or stadia  or any structure where public money (understand there is no Government Money in a democracy and Government at best is a custodian of public money)

Friends this is true difference between Democracy and all other forms....Thus the person who PERFORMED MOST WORK OUGHT BE KNOWN. 

Brand ambassadors for sports events should be sportspersons. We have people like Milkha Singh. Also known as flying sikh. We should avoid introducing needless glamour in sports. Sports have their own glamour, their own icons. We dont need people like Sonia Gandhi or Amitabh Bachhan in sports. Real events should be promoted by real heroes. Milkha singh is a living legend. It will be centuries to find a sportsperson equal to him.

In my opinion these are famous figures, can be elected as a brand ambassador for CW games.

Saina Nehwal, according to me, will be ideal brand ambassador of India in Commonwealth games.

Because, she is the player, in active sport at present.

Because, she has shown a spectacular performance in 2 years to reach in Top Five World players.

Because, she is totally focussed on the game, steering clear of glamour world and controversies.

Because, she will go long way to brighten India's name in Badminton world

The old forgotten heroes of Indian sports need to thrown into the limelight. Thats the least the Sports Minister can do. They stand testimony to the fact that sheer grit and determination alone can win you accolades and honour for your country.

Our younger generation needs to be educated about these sports personalities, rather than following Cricket heroes (dont they get enough publicity anyways?).

CWG, a multinational an multi-sport event, on since 1930. With the 19th edition to be held in Delhi, it took 80 long years for us to stage this event in our country after participating in 11 previous editions. To be a brand ambassdor, why are we looking at sporting icons / celebreties / personalities who are very current in their existence? Why can we not name Mohan Lal Ghosh, a wrestler from Kolkata who had won the first medal (bronze) in the 1966 version of CWG at Kingston, Jamaica. The sports authority should give honour by inviting the person who gave India its firstever medal ofCWG. What say, fellow TooStepites.

Deepika is a sportswoman besides being a succesful film actress and ramp model. She carries herself very well and can talk confidently before a large audience intelligently. She is the ideal brand ambassador for Commonwealth games. She is also the daughter of Mr Prakash Padukone and ex commonwealth games gold medal winner in Badminton

He is the winner with cool head and without controversy.

She is the Don of all the sport governing bodies in India today,from BCCI to Olympic Comitee(remember Suresh Kalmadi?) to IPL to hockey comitee to the Delhi government all is within her control so.....

...since they are the best in 'wealth' games of 'common' people.

He is young, have potential to appeal the people and talented
