on which mark india is clearly ahea dof china?

life expectancy, income per capita, education, infrastructure, export of soft power....

which?

true india didn't waste money on olympics, but that saving didn't seem to help her much, at least not obviously

and i am sure lots of indians still care about olympics (saw the news of stranger among indian delegates during opening ceremony? it's big in india), would like to see countrymen win medals.

i read a piece of news an indian women boxer who won a medal in london got warm welcome home. then there's 4 years ago when a shooter won a rare gold in BJ, the only gold they got (they didn't this time), again became national hero and big celebrity
