A further point is worth making. India’s meagre successes have been in such relatively unimportant items as archery, shooting, wrestling, boxing and badminton, none of which is a ‘field’ event in the proper sense.

An Olympic event is an "Olympic" event where all sports are equal. I don't know why the author is comparing it with a "field" event, like only those events are of prominence and all other are useless

And where did India got success from Archery? it got thrashed badly in that event. The author just for the sake of thrashing is mincing out words
 
The worst part was:

We are, instead, much too busy idolizing the four bronze and two silver medal winners, as if they are the newest wonders of the world.

Just because they could have done even better, we shouldn't be appreciative of what they did.
 
The media was not keen on this news...they have tlecasted about this news after several hours....Happy that our Sports Mins recognised him....Its really a great achievement by the medal winner...
