TIS Reviews

The initiative is unique and much needed in a country like India. The site is interactive and provides information updates on various sports. In a country which is swamped with Cricket and related site. theindiasportal offers a pleasant break. I see the site having a long term impact on the way athletes and the less-famous sports are treated in India. I wish the site best and look forward to increased density of information on the site. You can also tie up with various clubs which can put in information directly on the site. Also start a discussion forum. - Deepankar Agarwal
