Hinduism and Olympics

A new theory for Indian failure in Olympics - Brahmins and Vegetarians !

Sports had been one area beyond the boundary of castesim and religion and this mix-up is superfluous .I think we are way ahead of the stone-age and blaming the age-old system is highly irrelevant. World around people are moving towards organic food and studies have shown the average score of the vegetarians was over double the average score of meat-eaters. The Olympic Gold Medalist,Edwin Moses who went eight years without losing a race is a vegetarian.

I donot think the Athens contingent was composed of just Brahmins and vegetarians to come empty-handed. How did such an illogical column pass the litmus test of an editor? The author has unnecessarily brought up an issue in vain.
