I think the squash comment may have refered to Pakistan's previous domination of squash.
India was a powerhouse in mens field hockey. I was surprised that they weren't in the olympics.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

The honest answer is probably the lack of a hard core training program to vet, train, and promote athletes. This is actually a good thing though since India has much more pressing needs to spend their money on.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.

Hmm, I guess not. I was judging by the fact that US collegiate squash is absolutely dominated by Indians."You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran
