Respect where its due. Anyone who wins a Medal should be acknowledged. The lad gave it his best & was rewarded for it.

Hopefully people in India won't just turn this into a Social Media trend & that it inspires others to follow in his footsteps

Not just in India but across the subcontient.

I'm not certain how well the others (Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka) have faired.

It is my belief that people should get inspired by their own.

Our Hockey Team needs to look at our past Hockey Teams for inspiration, rather than the Nation who wins Gold this year.

Yeah, it will be nice if we got proper sponsors like NBP back, as opposed to companies like Haier.

These Haryana people are literally the factory for India's medals at the Olympics in the most physically demanding sports such as wrestling and javelin throw

Yup, it has been updated. Congrats....

you meant swimming? there are 37 events to grab shitload of golds v.s. only 5 events only for table tennis. it's the most ridiculous stat padding sport in olympics. lol

Bangladesh has a 18 member team which includes 12 officials and 6 athletes. So they basically went sight seeing and shopping paid by poor tax payers for participation trophy.

BTW congratulation to India on getting a gold.
