When this time we went to the olympics there was such a media hype that we would win a bunch of medals and I asked why, that in 4 years how much can a change because the institutions have not changed nor have the mentality or the thought process changed of the people running the institutions (Hockey the perfect example) Yes we would have go medals, which we got was in individual sports, where the persons had become more determined and experienced .
But somehow I felt that India wanted a gold very badly and I asked why because silver or bronze is also good as you are one the best in the world. The question still remained why.
The answer was that the olympics was being played in London, the seat of place of imperialism for 200 years where each and every action and thought process was to drain us in each and possible way. To win a gold medal there where the "Firnagi" would hoist the national flag and play our national anthem ....wow..that would have been special because that does not happen always. That is why we needed a gold at London Olympics.
