Note: The Indian Military team does not consist of any women.
Point to ponder:
On the one hand the Indian Military has the best sporting infrastructure at its disposal, great reach at the grass-root level and no dearth of money, above all it has no interference from the Federations or the Government, and on the other hand India has no dearth of talent; the obvious question that follows is: Why is the Indian Military failing to churn out World class athletes?
