And divided. Dont forget the most important factor. Whenever we fight among ourselves, based on religion, language, state, we are weak and conquered. 

We have always had divisions. Also not exclusive to India.

 

But I think the technological/scientific/military gap was so big by 17th/18th century that one of the European powers would have conquered us irrespective of our social dynamics. For that era, British navy was much more powerful than today's US navy, relatively speaking. While their aristrocats/elites were building universities (that stand till date) and encouraging science/research our royals were diverting money to build tombs, palaces, gardens etc. while rest of India didn't see any improvement in their lives.

 

Anyway topic for another day.

Cause our north Indian dumb*s gad petty quarrels and let the mughals dominate them. But yes England took advantage when maratha and mughals were weakened due to constant wars.

This Kenyan will be world champion. Mark my words. He will beat the Jamaican kishane thompson. 

[Kron]

One can look at it this way also, 118 golds decided so far out of 340 golds in 2020...

 

India's medal 3 atm, so total should be 8-9 as we are protecting.

Fuchs German Aussie. 

Maybe india need to open up the borders and take one in the ass to win more medals.

What india did was 100% choking. In all the events so far. 

 

Kanglus have zero ability. So can't compare. We go from winning position to llosing. That's 100% choking. 10000%

Top rank team losing from winning position is a choke. We aren't a top ranked. Bangladesh losing from winning position isn't a choke.

[Singh bling]

India mein itne druggies Nigerians ghumte koyi dhund ke sprinting bhej do

[Kron]

Kishane 

Omanyala

Coleman

Lyles 

 

This is probably the toughest in a long time.

Not top ranked team. Individual. They do well up till kos and then start playing bad. That's mental weakness. You need to step up when it matters. Having kela looking faces doesn't help either.

Not really, choking is when you are in winning position and need to do something average or less than average and then you choke and do something so bad you lose.

Yea but concentration type events means mental weakness if you fail. Fail under pressure. 

[Gollum]

Kenyans after dominating long distances now spread their wings to sprints. What an athletic nation
