@Mir: You have to dissect and find faults in a good comment too just because it was indian. Unbelievable. What he meant was instead extremism,terrorism and radicalism, war mongering, The country is making name for its nation around the world for sports. Commendable. And that's the news they would always like to hear.
@Aakashvaani: Forget the stabilization of the economy! Forget the end of poverty and feudalism in Pakistan! Forget the end of corruption. This is what (us) Indians want to see out of Pakistan! Winning sports matches!
Doesn't matter buddy, Winning and loosing are a part of any sport and I am sure you will have another chance. Being on that podium with the finest in business is a testimony to your determination and hardwork and no one can take that away from you. In a combat sport like Judo or boxing, the distinction between gold and silver is not always as clear as other sports; In other words it may be purely based on the 'opinion of majority'. Anyway, Weldone and great work, this is what (us) Indians wish to see coming out of Pakistan.
Keep making us proud Shah Hussain!
Proud of you!
