2. By making a statement in support of Pakistani javelin thrower Arshad Nadeem, he managed to stop every hate monger in the nation. This highly important gesture came with the risk of losing followers, but Neeraj did not consider it and did the right thing. Hate speech is all too frequent on social media, but Neeraj made sure that when it happened to him, he raised his voice and calmly explained what was going on.
3. He also spoke out against medal winners’ endless celebrations, oblivious to the fact that they have a career ahead of them and must concentrate on the following events.

5. Above all, he has managed to inspire his country’s 1.3 billion people, a feat unparalleled in history. His country is incredibly proud of him. He has indirectly educated individuals in areas such as tenacity, hard effort, and determination. The kids have been encouraged and want to try javelin throwing. That’s a win in and of itself.
