Great work, boys
The will to win triumphed in the end. Dhanraj Pillay's boys have ended a 32-year-old Asian Games drought by bagging the hockey gold in Bangkok. They have not only restored the country's pride, but have given a boost to the national game, which seems to have hit a bad patch in these cricket-obsessed times.
Lord of the ring
Dingko Singh who pummelled the World No 2, Uzbekistan's Timur Tulyakov, into submission at the Bangkok Asiad to win a boxing gold for India, has had to defeat not just his opponents in the ring.
India be watchful
India's technically limited acts of nuclear audacity on May 11 and May 14 have placed the country in a position of defiance of the normative order the US has assiduously tried to foster since the end of the Cold War. This order seeks to regulate interstate behaviour.
