Explanation:
At summer Olympics 2016, India secured 67th rank with 0 Gold, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze medal. We can boast about this performance by comparing ourselves with Pakistan who failed to open their medal tally. But if we compare ourselves with an equally populous country i.e. China (70 medals, 26 Gold, 18 Silver and 26 Bronze medals), the feeling of pride should vanish. India’s historical tally of medals at Olympics [9 Gold medals, 7 Silver Medals and 12 Bronze Medals, Total 28 Medals], is less than what China takes home in one appearance. These stats tell us a story; that we as a country are not up to the mark and someone should take up the responsibility to improve India’s performance at International level sporting events.
If we look at it carefully, an entire sector has remained undeveloped in a country of 1.3 billion people; a sector which can provide millions of jobs to the nationals and can provide an opportunity to develop an entire ecosystem.
