This year we will see India celebrating its 65th year of Independence. I feel more happy because of the 6 medals which INDIA bagged this year in the Olympics. Compared to the last Olympics the performance was overall better.
We say Sushil Kumar bagging the silver medal after his bronze in the last Olympics, he might have bagged the gold only lest the dehydration and cramps he was suffering from. But still he got somewhat he wished for. I saw ini the paper Sushil Mishra was of the opinion that he needed this after he failed to bag the silver in the Beijing Olympics. Then we had the silver from Vijay Kumar added with the 4 bronzes.
Of course if we compare with countries like Trinidad and Tobago India's count of medals were much lower where we as a country have more people and ability to develop more people for such international games. India's performance have always been dismal in such games. Only a few handful sports are there where India has a name of its own, like cricket, chess, billiards and lawn tennis and that also mostly in doubles tournaments.
This might sound cynic but that's what we are and even though we try to do something big we get embroiled in controversies. Remember the commonwealth games in Delhi?
Well whatever controversies we get embroiled in, still when medals come in we feel happy. we find people beating drums, lighting crackers and giving our Olympians a hero's welcome. These are times we feel we are together as one country.
HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY !!! JAI HO!!
