What a memorable gift on India's 61st Independence Day! We are proud. India is Proud and we as Indians are Proud.
Date: 11 August 2008:
Place: Beijing, China
There could not have been a better for India on her 61st birthday. The first ever Olympic Gold in any individual event, since 1896, by ace shooter Abhinav Bindra in the Men's 10m Air Rifle.
For him it will never get old listening to Indian national anthem with a gold medal round his neck on the world's biggest stage, where everyone stood after 28 years when Indian hockey team claimed gold in 1980 Moscow Olympics.
It was a medal for Abhinav; it was redemption for India.
Never again will anyone be able to point a smug, sardonic finger and say: "No Indian is good enough to win an individual Olympic gold."
It was memorable and “chuk de India “ then also for the Indian men’s field hockey team winning eleven medals in twelve Olympiads between 1928 and 1980, including six successive gold medals from 1928–1956.
No matter what we or the world thinks about India, we all and should be proud that India is on move.
Twelfth largest economy in the world, at market exchange rates.
Second fastest growing economy in the world.
The third largest standing army in the world.
Fourth largest air force in the world.
Fourth largest in purchasing power.
Fifth largest navy in the world.
Ninth 9th in the world in terms of nuclear capacity.
We are “Chuck De” in every field and still we don’t make noise.
I salute India on her 61st Independence India. I salute every one making her a proud nation.

yeah, but logically speaking one gold medal is no big deal if you consider the rate at which china is winning. with atleast 3 medals, i guess this olympics has been one of the better ones for india
