2nd spot in our group no matter what happens henceforth, Aus at #1. This is the best Olympics pool stage result since I started following hockey, so happy to see our improvement.

Golf is a long way to go. Lot of holes and after 4 rounds elimination will be decided. Another Indian yet to shoot.

 

positions keep changing after every shot.

 

But hoping Lahiri shoots few under pars again to get some lead.

For that to happen we have to pray that GBP somehow beat the Dutch later today. I don’t see the English beating the Belgians tomorrow lmao

But in India we have too many social taboos making female participation in sports much more difficult. India isn't much better than many of these Islamic countries, and let's be honest Muslim majority countries like Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kosovo, Lebanon, Albania, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Central Asian States (Soviet legacy), maybe even Bangladesh....way better when it comes to female empowerment. How many girls did we have in school playing sports? In college? Many African countries are ahead of India as well, I often see fellow Indians looking down upon or pitying Africa when we trail most of those countries in many socio-economic parameters. 

 

There are several reports, rankings indicating the same. Western countries, East Asia all do far better, you known countries that actually dominate the medals table!!!!! Their female athletes have advantage in every facet whether it be family/society's acceptance, participation, funding, encouragement, high school and college sports, competition, safe environment etc. There may be more competition among men but our women have to conquer far greater odds just to participate in sports, forget winning medals. Even bigger challenge in places like Haryana, Punjab where female foeticide and infanticide are common, You must be familiar with Saina Nehwal's background, her grandmom refused to even look at her face because she wanted a grandson. In TV shows (like comedy) and adda sessions, our countrymen (not all but significantly high %) make fun of women in sports, mocking and/or casting aspersions on their appearance, sexual orientation, character, family values etc. Guarantee that **** doesn't happen (at least to that extent) in Europe, Americas, Oceania, large part of Africa and Asia. 

All this doesn't matter once a player is at the field. Level of competition is on the field, not off it.
