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?
The controversy around Jawaharlal Nehru’s “360 million problems” remark has once again turned history into a political battleground, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi citing the line to criticise Nehru, while critics argue the full context reflected a humanist concern for every citizen. As political messaging increasingly draws from selective historical references, the sharper question is about context versus convenience. Is Prime Minister Narendra Modi presenting Nehru’s remark as a historical critique or picking one line out of context to score a political point and keep the past alive for present-day politics ?
जवाहरलाल नेहरू के “360 मिलियन समस्याएँ” वाले बयान को लेकर एक बार फिर इतिहास राजनीतिक बहस का मैदान बन गया है। प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी द्वारा इस टिप्पणी का हवाला देकर नेहरू की आलोचना की गई, जबकि आलोचकों का कहना है कि पूरे संदर्भ में यह हर नागरिक के प्रति मानवीय चिंता को दर्शाता था। जब राजनीतिक संदेशों में इतिहास के चुनिंदा हिस्सों का इस्तेमाल बढ़ रहा है, तो असली सवाल संदर्भ बनाम राजनीतिक सुविधा का है। क्या प्रधानमंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी, नेहरू की टिप्पणी को ऐतिहासिक आलोचना के रूप में रख रहे हैं या एक पंक्ति को संदर्भ से अलग करके वर्तमान राजनीति में मुद्दा बना रहे हैं ?
The Union Budget 2026–27 presented by Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman shows an increase in health allocation to ₹1.04 Lakh Crores, yet public health spending remains around 0.29% of GDP, with reports of large unspent funds and continued gaps in primary care and public hospitals. With Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda now responsible for strengthening delivery and execution, the key issue is whether higher allocations will translate into real improvements on the ground. Is the health push under Modi Government building a stronger public health system or does the gap between announcements, fund utilisation and ground capacity show that structural reform is still falling short ?
