India and Olympics

I'm happy today that India has at last won a gold medal after too many long years and since it comes from an individual performance it makes me feel prouder.Till date today's performance by Abhinav Bindra is the best in the individual category by India.
I'm happy over the growing trend in the medal tally,if not in count,in 'value'.In 2000, a bronze was one by Karnam Malleshwari then in 2004 a silver by Maj. Rajvardhan Singh Rathore and now a gold!! As Bindra puts it , "My medal will boost sports in India" . I hope this comes true and India wins more of such honors but going by the trend I do not foresee India bagging any more medals this Olympics or in other future event.I would be happy if they bag one or for that matter many."Aa toh gaya hi hai ek,ho gaya kaam,khush raho" seems to be the attitude prevalent among the sportspersons . I could be wrong and I would be happy to be wrong but the medal tallies support my assertion.
A lot is said about India not able to perform at the world stage and win any medals.It is not wrong if we face these charges like,a country of a billion is content with a medal.Leave aside the number of medals won,people we send out to compete no way reflects the size of population they represent.Countries with the less than 1/4th of our population sends 4 times the size of our squad.Are we not able to produce sportsperson?? We are,but who will groom them?Sports authority?? No way,it is itself caught in the shackles of nepotism and group politics,I see no hope.These charges are not baseless for example take the case of Monica Devi,a weightlifter.She was first accused of doping charges by a fellow weightlifter and S.A.I. and I.O.A. had denied her participation this in Olympics.Medical examinations have now revealed that she did not take any prohibited drugs.Can't you sense a foul play?Who will care for the shattered dreams of the lady who comes from the modest background,fought her way to reach up to this mark ,only to be told that she can't compete in the Olympics.It SUCKS,it seriously SUCKS (I'm using this as a metaphor for my case,it SUCKS).
Now will she ever be so determined as she was for this Olympics?I doubt it.In a country that produces only handful of sportsperson loosing a player is like a unrecoverable loss.
With the hope that situation will improve,I abruptly end this post.Congratulations India for winning a gold,that puts it in the tally in <20th position,for same day,at least.
