London Olympics are about to end tomorrow, India has won 6 medals (2 Silver and 4 Bronze).
Everyone blames India saying that we have 1 billion population and we could win only 6 medals and they take pride in criticizing by quoting fancy numbers.
I would draw their attention to the attention to the fact that in India not all 1 billion people are playing Olympic sports, out of 1 billion only 81 people were sent to Olympics and out of which 6 medals have won...!!!
It's an amazing improvement by India from 3 medals it won in Beijing, it works out 100% increase from previous edition.
We now need to celebrate this achievement and feel good about the fact that we have won 6 medals, I still remember 1992 Olympics wherein India has not won a single medal and how people were criticizing all the Indian sportsmen saying that we don't have the winning habit etc..,
In 1996, Olympics Leander Paes winning a bronze medal and I still remember reading the newspapers on that day which praised him and raised him to the sky...In 2000 Olympics Karanam Malleshwari has won a Bronze Medal and ensured that India get's a place in the medal tally....in 2004 Rajvardhan Rathore has won a Silver Medal in shooting....In 2008 Abhinav Bindra has won a first Gold Medal and it was added by two more bronze medals from boxing and wrestling.
Now in 2012 Olympics, we have 6 medals...It's an amazing journey and this represents the progress we have made from 1992 to 2012....I am proud to be an Indian...Congrats to all the winners and more importantly the participants...!!!
