It was true 12 years back. But not anymore. I am surprised that this handle has made this comment and has ignored(may be by mistake) progress we have made.

Our sporting system is still far from perfect. There is some truth in the criticism. We still have weak federations, politics, uneven state-level infrastructure and poor grassroots access in many places.

Given this, let's also see the progress we have made.

Let's Start with the money.
The Sports Ministry allocation has increased from around ₹1,219 crore in 2013-14 to ₹4,480 crore in 2026-27 — nearly 3.7x.
But is the money going at right places?

* Khelo India was started in 2017. Today, India has 1,067 Khelo India Centres, 35 State Centres of Excellence and 267 supported academies. More than 23,000 athletes are receiving support through the programme, including coaching, equipment, diet and competition exposure.

* TOPS(Target Olympic Podium Scheme) launched in 2014. It provides elite athletes with customised support such as foreign coaches, international training, equipment, sports science and competition exposure to make them Olympics ready.

* KIRTI launched in 2024 is trying to identify sporting talent in Age 9-18. More than 1.8 lakh assessments have already been conducted among young athletes.

Now have all this made any impact in results?
* Asian Games medals: 57 (2014) → 69 (2018) → 107 (2023) → 85 (2026). Gold trend 11 → 15 → 28 → 21. 2026 Asian games will be our second highest haul of all times.

* Olympics: 2 medals in 2016 → 7 in 2020 → 6 in 2024

* Paralympics: 4 medals in 2016 → 19 in 2020 → 29 in 2024

* Commonwealth Games medals:
64 (2014) → 66 (2018) → 61 (2022) → 39 (2026). Now before someone say 39 is worst, please note that lot of the sports where we always win medals were removed in 2026. Despite this, we produced several historic firsts — from its first-ever Commonwealth decathlon medal and first 5,000m medal to its first Shot Put F57 gold, while 10 Indian boxers won Commonwealth medals for the first time.

And the next phase is already significantly larger.
The revamped Khelo India + National Sports Federations programme has a combined ₹36,441 crore outlay for 2026-27 to 2030-31. Gujarat launched India's first ever Genome program in athletics in 2026. How Odisha supports hockey is a case study in itself.

So yes, India still has serious problems in sports - federations, politics, access and grassroots infrastructure remain issues.

But saying "Indians win medals despite the system" misses the bigger picture.

The system is no longer what it was 12 years ago.

We are moving from finding a talented athlete and hoping he/she survives the system to identifying talent early, funding it, training it scientifically and building a pathway all the way to podium.

Hope this helps.

We have taken a definite step towards electrifying one of the toughest segments of heavy industry.

BEML has unveiled the BH60-EV — India’s first indigenously designed and developed 60-ton electric dump truck for mining and infrastructure.

* 1,000 kWh lithium-ion battery
* 54.5-tonne payload
* Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor
* 40–60% lower operating costs vs diesel — BEML estimate
* Around 130 tonnes of CO₂ reduction per vehicle every year

The truck has been developed at BEML’s Mysuru facility and comes with an integrated charging solution for mining operations.

But the best part comes now.
I tried to estimate what happens if we use this electric truck only.
India consumes around 1.2 billion litres Diesel(conservative figure) in Mining trucks annually.
Hence, if we replace by electric, we save that diesel. Converting to Barrels, it is about 17000 barrels daily. Taking Crude at USD 80/barrel, annually we will save $496.4 million or some ₹4,782 crore/year(at INR at 96).

So, we will not only have a cleaner environment but a forex savings happening too.

We are moving from electric cars and buses to 60-tonne payload mining trucks — India’s EV story is moving into heavy industry.

India’s industrial story is entering a new chapter.

The latest momentum in manufacturing is more than a strong month. It reflects a deeper shift in how India is building, producing and powering its growth.

The opportunity now is to ensure our energy and industrial ecosystem grows with the same ambition.

The factories are shifting into a higher gear. The question is how far we can take this momentum.

News coming in from Alipurduar district of West Bengal, where a Hindu woman from Shiltong Forest village has alleged that she and her husband were assaulted after she refused to convert to Christianity.
The woman reportedly stated, “I want to remain Hindu. I don’t want to be a Christian.” She has now submitted a written complaint to the Superintendent of Police, Alipurduar, seeking action in the matter.

India has taken the first step towards domestic production of rare-earth magnets.

Hyderabad-based Midwest Energy has started trial production of sintered NdFeB magnets at its ₹250 crore plant in Andhra.
Commercial production is expected by mid-Oct26, with an initial annual capacity of 500 tonnes, planned to rise to 5,000 tonnes by Dec27.

Apart from this, govt has approved a ₹7,280 crore scheme to create 6,000 tonnes/year of integrated rare-earth magnet capacity, and have got 20 bids from companies. Japan's Proterial is also planning a ₹2,250 crore, 1,200-tonne/year magnet plant in Andhra Pradesh.

These magnets are critical for EVs, wind turbines, electronics and defence, where India currently depends heavily on imports and China can choke us.

500 tons a month is a small step but an important one in becoming independent in Rare Earth Magnets.

Let's dig deep.

It was the year 1965.
India had just fought and won a difficult war against Pakistan. Shastri had led the country through an extremely challenging period.

But the war was not the only battle he wanted India to win.
There was another battle: the Indian economy.

Since 1947, Nehru had hollowed out India with his socialism. Our manufacturing died due to the controls put in place by Nehru, and we fared worse than sub-Saharan Africa.

Shastri, despite being a Gandhi fan, was logical enough to see that Nehruvian Socialism was disastrous for the nation. So, he decided to dump the Nehruvian model in the dustbin and open up the Indian economy.

He prepared the following steps:
* Devaluation of the rupee to improve exports
* Substantial decontrol of imports
* Reduction in industrial licensing
* Greater scope for foreign private investment
* Decontrol of sectors such as fertiliser
* Reduction of the state's role in industries

Mind you, these are not some simple steps. We took the same steps under Narasimha Rao in 1991, and our country has grown by leaps and bounds since then.

SHASTRI PLANNED THESE STEPS IN 1965 ITSELF.

Imagine.

What would have happened if economic reforms of 1991 had happened in 1965?
Imagine the growth we would have got in these 26 years.

In 1965, none of the East Asian nations or China were at our level. We would have become the world's manufacturing engine with our low labour costs, would have attracted technology that started emerging then, like computers, semiconductors, textiles, electronics and all.

Imagine how people would have prospered from this.

But destiny had some other plans. Destiny decided that Indians should face the curse of Nehruvian Socialism for the next four decades.

So, Shastri went to Tashkent in January 1966 for the peace treaty with Pakistan and died there on 11th January 1966. With his death, India lost the person who could have freed her from the economic slavery of the Nehru family.

Hence, now you know why the death of Lal Bahadur Shastri is the most tragic thing that ever happened to India post-independence.

And that's why I bow my head to him.
