In India, the weather is extremely hot for at least six months of the year, and the monsoon season lasts for around three months. The country lacks sufficient infrastructure for indoor training, which has contributed to its weaker performance in the Olympics. However, as the GDP grows and investment in sports infrastructure increases, India's medal count is likely to rise steadily.

I don’t entirely blame our govt. My blame is on our sports authorities and sports persons also. Itne sare sports hain, kuch toh karo.
