INDIA- Slowly becoming NDIA?

India map.
























I used to draw very good in my childhood. Many a times I enjoyed drawing the map of India, which I knew by heart. I've always thought that even the map of India looked humane, like a man wearing a hat with his right hand on his hip and an extended left arm that offered something(benevolence?) to other nations. Imagine my shock when I came across picture no.3! I felt as if the head I loved had been hacked away! History of India shows that  from a much larger area, India is now reduced to this.

My question is, if other countries (our friendly neighbourhood?!) can break rules and shift LOCs, why does India have to maintain its Ahimsa image and lose itself part by part? What if, even if we don't conquer other countries, regain places which were rightfully ours? Please enlighten me.

One Gold Medal to fool them all!!!

1 comments
The country with the largest population with respect to its size has not even a handful of skilled athletes. While losing a medal becomes news in China and USA and many other countries, winning a medal comes as a delight to many and certainly a surprise to all in India. Why is this situation present in India? I truly don't understand. Is Abinav Bhindra's feat one to be proud of or ashamed of? Isn't it shameful to proudly say that India has won a gold medal for the first time in an individual event? Who is to be blamed and what can be done to improve this situation?
