My wins have changed world's perception towards India: Saina http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/...n-towards-India-Saina/articleshow/5358086.cms "I never take my opponents as Chinese or Indonesian. But I feel with me winning more against them, the perception of the Chinese and the whole world towards India has changed," Saina said. "It has also given other countries the confidence that we can also beat the Chinese. So it is not only about India but it has also inspired other countries to beat the Chinese in their game," she added.
Arjuna award is given to only sport-person of some repute, so I don't think it is something like "Datukship". The equivalent awards in India are Padma awards (Padma-Shree, Padma-Bhushan) and the highest award Bharat Ratna. And, no George, even after getting a award, she won't be called Arjuna Saina Nehwal, since as per Indian constitution, all prefixes apart from academic ( like Dr. or Engineer) and military (Cmdr., Maj. etc ) are illegal. So sadly she will remain Saina Nehwal Anyway, I think she deserves this award because she has created a wave among Indian kids for badminton and she is a great model for Indian teenage girls.
Saina Nehwal should remain as Saina Nehwal . It should not be sad. Saina Nehwal should remain as Saina Nehwal. Let's wait for Dr Harvir Singh, Saina Nehwal's father, a BCer himself, to come in - to give some comments. .

Saina touches new high, breaks into world's top 5 CNN-IBN Thu, Mar 18, 2010 at 14:52, New Delhi: India's badminton ace Saina Nehwal created history to break into top five of the world badminton rankings at the All England Badminton Championship. Saina is the first Indian woman to reach semifinals of the prestigious All England Open. However, she failed to qualify to the finals after she was beaten by Tine Rasmussen, the 2008 champion and 2009 runners-up. After a great year in 2009, Saina told CNN-IBN: "It's been a great one year. I am really happy. It's with the support of my coach and family. My next target is to be in top 3." "For me now is to stay focussed and concentrate on sports and work hard. I am happy with the support of the government and the sponsors. But yes, many talented people do not get support at right time," she added. "Everything is happening so fast in my profession. It's like a dream come true. I still have a long way to go," she further said about her future plan. Saina had already won the Indonesian Open Super Series Tournament in 2009 and reached the semifinals of the World Super Series Masters, apart from the quarters in a number of tourneys including the World Championships, Malaysian Open, Denmark Open, French Super Series, Swiss Open, Indian Open and Singapore Open in 2009.
Saina Nehwal created history to break into top five of the world badminton rankings . Saina Nehwal created history to break into top five of the world badminton rankings. Well Done Saina !!! .
Yeah, congrats to Saina, thanks to her good run in last week AE, lost to eventual winner Tine Rasmussen at semifinal. Highest WR so far for Saina, well done!
I can't help but to notice that SN always looks so angry...seems like she wants to bash all her opponents lol now I feel chilling watching her matches
Saina Nehwal always looks so angry? . That's because SN is always serious whenever she is playing against an opponent. It's her determination to win a match. But when you get to meet her as a friend (in person), you will find that she is very sweet and friendly. .
