Yuvraj Singh's words hit different. "Give something back to our great nation" – that's the true essence of patriotism. Our athletes are role models on and off the field. Jai Hind!

Happy to see AIFF and Hockey India also in the mix. Republic Day is for all sports, not just cricket. Though I wish there were more messages from athletes in non-cricket sports like badminton or wrestling.

Respectful criticism: While the wishes are nice, I hope this patriotism translates into consistent support for all Indian athletes, better infrastructure, and less politics in sports federations. Actions speak louder than social media posts.
