Is Neeraj Chopra the greatest Indian athlete of all time?

Neeraj Chopra’s rise from a small village in Haryana to becoming a global icon in javelin throwing is nothing short of inspirational. With an Olympic gold, multiple Diamond League medals, and now a 90.23m throw under his belt, Neeraj has made India a contender in global athletics. For a nation largely obsessed with cricket, Chopra's journey is breaking stereotypes and bringing track-and-field to the forefront. His consistent performances have put India on the world map of athletics.
 
But is that enough to call him the greatest Indian athlete ever? Icons like Sachin Tendulkar, PT Usha, and Abhinav Bindra have their own legendary legacies. Yet, Neeraj's impact feels unique—he inspires a generation to believe in global athletic dreams. Has he already claimed the top spot in India’s sporting history?
