100 years and 3 medals

Q. "How come a country of one billion can't win Olympic medals?"

I dont know. And neither does anyone else. (Everyone looks at everyone else to do something about it...)

Progress-->> India won its first individual medal in 1952. It took 44 years to win another in 1996. But then took only four years to win its third at the very next Games in 2000. If that's not progress, then what is?
