Despite what Brits did, 60 years is enough time to put up a decent show in sports, and countries that are even worse off like Kenya do better than us.
Instead of blaming the British, we should be looking at our own contemporary culture, how many Indian schools have a real sports program, do they have cross country, wrestling, track, rugby, soccer etc, I didn't know of any, the only sport was cricket.
I said it before, unless Indians take up multiple sports and there are proper sports programs in schools, we can forget about a decent performance.
Oh, by the way Jitender and Vijender won their matches, going to the next round.
