Everyone is talking about the 39 medals.

But the real story of these Games is much better than just the medals. Let me explain.

First, these Commonwealth Games was much smaller than the last one. Only 10 sports. Last time there were 19.

And look at which sports were removed.

Wrestling. Badminton. Shooting. Table tennis. Hockey. Cricket.

These are the sports India wins in every single time. Out of our 61 medals last time, 30 came from these sports.

So think about it like this.

In the sports that were played both times, we won 31 medals last time. This time we won 39 in those same sports.

We got better in every sport we played. The total looks smaller only because so many of our sports were not there at all.

Now, first let's talk about the good stuff.

Our boxers were unbelievable. 10 medals. 7 golds.

No country in the history of the Commonwealth Games had ever won 7 boxing golds at one Games.

India just did.

And 5 of those 7 champions are women.

Preeti Pawar. Jaismine Lamboria. Sakshi Chaudhary. Priya Ghanghas. Arundhati Choudhary. Plus Sachin Siwach and Ankush Panghal.

Actually, out of India's 13 golds, 8 were won by women. Our daughters won so much at these Games for us.

Mirabai Chanu won gold again. Third Commonwealth Games in a row. Only one Indian had ever done that before her.

She had a serious back injury. She won anyway. :)

Gulveer Singh is a soldier who grew up running on village roads in Aligarh. He became the first Indian ever to win a medal in the men's 10,000m race. Then he won one more in the 5000m.

In long distance running. Where India never wins.

Our para athletes won 7 medals. That equals everything they had won in all the previous Games put together. Their best performance ever.

Dilip Gavit, who lost his arm as a child, set a Games record in his 100m race.

Even judo gave us 2 golds. Asmita Dey and Harsh Singh.

Be honest, did you even know we had judo players this good?

Now the sad parts. There were a few, unfortunately.

Neeraj Chopra got a silver only. A thrower from Sri Lanka threw 89.75m and won it.

Neeraj is coming back from an injury and said himself that he is not at full strength yet. The good news was Yash Vir Singh winning bronze right behind him.

Our weightlifters won 8 medals. But 6 of them were silver. Six times we were just one good lift away from gold. Six times it did not come. That one hurts.

And in athletics, our runners and jumpers won 10 medals but no gold. Everyone finished second or third. Nobody finished first.

Now, for years people have said the same thing about India. That we only win medals because of shooting and wrestling. Remove those, and we are nothing.

Well. This time someone actually removed them. All of them. Every sport we depend on was taken out.

And we still finished 4th in the world.

The sports that were supposed to be our weak ones carried us. Boxing. Judo. Para athletics. Long distance running.

People said we win only because of easy sports. The easy sports were removed. We won anyway. :)

After watching him live last two economicsurvey presentations in 2025 & 26, I'd say Chief Economic Advisor Dr. V. Anantha Nageswaran is a better speaker than many teachers & politicians.

[Parveen Kaswan, IFS @ParveenKaswan]

Banded Krait (Bungarus fasciatus)

The banded krait is a large, strikingly patterned venomous snake found across parts of the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Easily recognized by its broad alternate black and yellow bands and triangular body shape, it is mostly nocturnal and shy in nature, avoiding human contact whenever possible. During the day, it usually remains hidden in burrows, leaf litter, or near water bodies.

Although the banded krait possesses potent neurotoxic venom, it is generally non-aggressive and bites are rare, usually occurring only when the snake is handled or provoked. It feeds primarily on other snakes, lizards, and small vertebrates, playing an important role in maintaining ecological balance. Awareness and calm behaviour during encounters are key to preventing conflict with this important yet misunderstood species.

Comes with a caution sign.

The way the Haryana government has successfully conducted the Common Eligibility Test (2025), having 13.48L candidates to manage, with great traffic management, officers going out of line to help the candidates, free roadways services, and smooth monitoring; is truly REMARKABLE!!
