6 medals is decent. could have been 7-8 if the boxers had gone further. whats more encouraging is the fact that a lot of indians are reaching the medal rounds. even the guys in athletics and rowing were reaching the finals, which is unprecedented. they aren't a million miles away from winning medals. many of the athletes were also quite young. india seem to have found a couple of sports where they can produce elite competitors (wrestling, boxing, shooting, badminton, etc.) and a few others where there seems to be some talent, so that bodes well for the future. double figures in rio 2016 is more or less guaranteed if the corporate money keeps coming in.

Mainly refugees- like the guy from Sudan who is a refugee but waiting for US citizenship so had to compete as independent

6 medals are great when compared to our medal tally historically... but its still shameful overal.. nothing to laugh abt at others..

if you combline medals for all erstwhile USSR countries, they would still be competing for top position.

The ones whose countries do not have Olympic committees and don't send athletes. One of them was from South Sudan.

Refugees or countries with no representation at the Olympics. Like South Sudan who cannot be represented cos Olympics rules state that a country must be a minimum of two years to participate and I think it was only last year when they got independence? The IOC has some weird rules.
