It is true that Team India’s hunt for the first Olympic medal has entered the third day since the mega athletic event kicked-off in Rio De Jeneiro. Though Jitu Rai, Abhinav Bindra and women’s archery team failed to start-off the hunt for medal, it does not mean that one can belittle a team that has always endured and brought back stunning rewards.

Shobhaa De made a very untimely and unfortunate comment on Indian contingent in Rio for it has so far not made much. Despair on that fact is understandable, but it looks like De’s has got some real talent in understatement!

The writer’s flaw in the argument was well exposed by former Indian Hockey team captain, Viren Resquinha:

Ms. De, the team has got people like Dipa Karmakar from Tripura. If you don’t know what that really mean, you should probably read upon her and her achievements!
