Haaha I think it's true too. I hate the fact that they don't show the good sports on TV im stuck watching cycle and gymnastics :(
I went to PPS.tv the official media partner but the site is in chinese, they were supposed to do a live streaming of the events.

"Until now, India has never won an individual Olympic title before this Sikh-Indian's success"

Reading that pisses me off... Why does it specifically have to be mentioned that he's sikh? If he was Hindu, would it say Hindu-Indian? He's Indian, who gives a flying f(*& what type he is... It's a great feat for India... I'm surprised the article didnt say something like, "Jatt-Sikh-Indian" or something... Break it down even more...

i agree with Vick on this. It wouldn't be any difference if a Hindu won it still would be an Indian

Vick you're reading an article from a Sikh blog. It only make sense that they would describe him as being Sikh. When you're a minority who has a strong transnational diaspora that prides itself on what it does for the home country, religion becomes salient.
