India’s performance at Global Sporting events like the Tokyo Olympics (7 medals) and the Asian Games (107 medals in 2022) shows improvement, but with a population of 1.4 billion, should we be doing better?

Are our sports policies focused enough on grassroots development?
For decades, Zila Parishad and Block Samiti elections in Punjab drew little public or political attention, treated as routine local exercises with minimal hype. But the December 14 polls have suddenly been projected as a major political moment, widely described as a semi-final to the 2027 Assembly elections.
दशकों तक पंजाब में ज़िला परिषद और ब्लॉक समिति के चुनावों को मामूली स्थानीय प्रक्रिया माना जाता रहा, जिन पर न तो ज़्यादा सियासी ध्यान गया और न ही कोई खास उत्साह दिखा। लेकिन 14 दिसंबर के चुनावों को अचानक एक बड़े राजनीतिक मोड़ की तरह पेश किया जा रहा है, जिसे 2027 विधानसभा चुनाव का सेमीफाइनल कहा जा रहा है।
Senior BJP leader Manoranjan Kalia now says the party wants to fight Punjab 2027 solo and finally install its own Chief Minister. But BJP doesn’t have a clear CM face, barely has any rural base, and its only big imports, like Capt Amarinder Singh and Rana Gurmit Singh, haven’t delivered even a ripple, let alone a wave. So the real question is, is BJP serious about producing a Punjab CM, or is this bold talk without a captain, a team, or a pitch ?
