ramdar | 8 years ago | Reply @abdul qadir malik: ''but in others sports we still have the upper hand,,,,'' Which one- Tennis, Badminton, Football, Boxing, Athletics, table tennis... In recent South Asian games India bagged 308 medals, Sri Lanka 186, Pakistan 106. However considering size of the country, India's achievement is modest compared to Sri Lanka.
