Another example that goes on to show that facilities and infrastricture in India is not the problem...we need ppl with more desire, administration with more sense, a system where accountability counts and the commonsense to throw away people like KPS Gill who is bleeding Indian hockey to death
"Nikpai will be given a house as a reward"......this chap did'nt even have a house??????......forget about facilities...the Afghans tip toeed while walking in the open fearing a mine may burst.......in such senario this is indeed stupendous acheivement......before anybody in the message board start to critisize me....remember this...Abhinav spent 10 crores for practice...has a shooting range at his home.....now anybody spending 10 crores on own money is filthy rich with a luxuriuos life.....not to take anything from Abhinav though

if having money or being rich would bring GOld in Olypics then India would have got many ....Nikpai is acheivemnet is great but that doesnot mean that Abhinav's is less and you cannot take that from him only becuse he is rich and spent crores for his training

"Nikpai will be given a house as a reward" does it mean Nikpai is houseless? .. no it has only one meaning.. "Nikpai will be given a house as a reward" and that is it!
see we indians have the heart to appreciate a afghani who won a medal for his country despite him being a muslim. our indian brothers are only emphatic if pakistan(or ne muslim country) defeats india in any sport... sorry to bring religion here, but i am proud of my TRUE indian mates!! keep it going!

If only Pakistan's ISI is eradicated peace can be there in India and in Pakistan. It is ISI that brings tension in both the countries.

I appreciate your candour Mr Rajesh..u r a gentleman. And many congratulations to this afghan..
In view of the past war ravaged scenario with active presence of Extremists coupled with lack of training/support , the Medal Bagged by the brave AFgan is more than a GOLD.
Best Wishes for wininning Super Gold to Prseident Karzai who has demostrated irepressible AFGAN spirit.
Reason for Indian Failure in Olympics : 1.Indians race towards profession and money rather than sports and glory 2.consumption of more carbohydrate,fat and more unfit life style 3.lack of infrastructure and process
Todos : 1.Sack Suresh Kalmadi 2.Get a thinking CEO for Indian Olympics Association 3.Corporates must unite and pour in atleast 5000 Crore Rs and with government aid need to construct world class amenities. 4.Identify right talent ,groom them and concentrate on games with high medal hopes. 5.Economic benefits to the athletes which means sports is an excellent career options rather than IT or MBA. 6.Boost sports from grass root level and local awareness
