Strange, India has only one medal.

[Shamim]

India is the second most populated country in the world with 1.1 Billion ppl and they only have one medal, strange how they suck in sports, just see the big difference between them and China.

It has to do with government spending.

[futbol>>>IRAN]

what did they get their medal in?

[shayan20]

most of their people are very poor and have no interest in sports. pretty sad.

[Türküm]

also Indians are not really athletically gifted...they've been in the UK for so long...yet have you seen any of them really make a name for themselves in any sport other than Cricket (and other than Amir Khan)

Not only that, they also have a lack of interest for sports, look at Ethiopia and african countries who more poor than India, Indian ppl are have much interest in Education than in sports.

It was the first individual gold medal in the history of India.

Dude in India people look down on you if you're a athlete.
You are considered worthy if
1) You are a doctor
2) rich
3) have white skin

Looks pretty much like Iran.

In a way it is like that all over the world, but in India it is emphasized. And for example despite the standards we have in Iran, most people wouldn't be pissed if their son or daughter was a top athlete.
