there is also hyderbad in pakistan so be careful. Indians always put their caste,race,region, language first over the interest of the country.plz put indian first over pitty telengana.
Congrats for a medal at least. A lot of effort and money had to be put in by Bindra and Gagan to train for this event. For excelling in any discipline you need money and investment. Take a moment to think about how much Kalmadi has put in his pocket instead of spending it on athletes. He was the guy in charge of Indian Oly for many many years. And so are these results. Also from my understanding all this effort behing the athletes are from rich or upper middle class. Most have to go to the US for training. Thankfully India has put in some effort to get foreign coaches who have shown better results in recent event like Asiad and CWG. The moral of the story is - unless you have an efficient system you cannot win medals and improve sports. And for improving the system you have to improve sports. Only around 15-20 % of the money alloted to sports finds its way to the grounds, rest vanishes in govt transactions. Yes we cannot match China, that requires a totally different level of thinking but we are way off the least we deserve. Diving and gymnastics are primary examples of what preparation can get you to. We should to do much better than this - but we simply dont deserve it.
