The Commonfan’s Indian Sportswomen poll – please participate – these ladies deserve more respect
I have a new poll on Commonfan – to pick out the most popular Indian sportswoman from the current lot. I had expected this poll to get as many responses if not more than the previous polls on this blog. Sadly no one seems to care and the response has been bad. This is bad and we need to show more respect for Indian sportswomen . So to get more participation for this poll, I am writing this post and providing more information about each of these ladies. I hope this information generates a little more interest and a lot more in terms of participation. So here you go. Let the most popular lady win.
The poll is on the top right of your screen in case you haven’t noticed.
Saina Nehwal – Badminton - Currently ranked world number 14, Saina is the first Indian woman to reach the singles quarterfinals at the Olympics.

Other – If you think someone else is more deserving. Please post a comment with the name
I didn't know women played sports in India – This is self explanatory. I hope this post helps you to become more informed.
No sports woman is good enough to be my favourite – Again self explanatory. I am sure you have very high standards. Tell me who your favourite Indian sportsman is?
