India at olympics 2008, New Record

India created a record of sort by getting 3 medals in a single olympic in beijing since it's participating in olympic 1900. I am used to see a single medal every olympic but this time arround we have 3. I am not sure whether this is something to feel proud about or something to be ashamed.

When one looks at medals tally, one will be find never heard of countries getting more medals. Phelps talking about improvement in records. Phelps has got more golds in olympics in comparison with India since 1900. But on every news channel you see the celebration have began, medalist have been rewarded hadsomely. Every one is talking about new dawn for indian sports and more medals in next olympic. But can this dream come true is the questions. Different association will be continued to be owned and ruled by different politicians from different parties for ages.

Why there can not be a different approch government takes when dealing with these associations. Why associations presidents, who are there for years and India has not own a single medal in that discipline should be sacked. Why corporate cultural can not be cultivated where you have to give results otherwise its good by time. But all these questions will remain unanswerd and that is because politicians dont want medals but they want cows (associations) to milk.
