This medal table is not a reflection of our people's talent, ji, but of how we choose to nurture or starve it. Your granddaughter's books are a luxury you earned; in my valley, I have seen boys who could have been engineers turned into porters because the system demanded they haul their own future uphill.
Ji, you have put your finger on the exact wound. I see the same in our panchayat's budget: we approve funds for a new handpump in 2020, and by 2024 the pipe is still rusting in a godown. The numbers are clear—we spend more on "committees to study the problem" than on the solution itself. Until we treat delay as a theft of years, like your granddaughter's books being a discipline we can't afford to waste, the medal table will stay empty.
