Indians like to think we can hold our own against the best in the world in any field: our Kalidasa can stand up to their Shakespeare, our Ramanujan to their Einstein, our Bollywood to their Hollywood and, these days, our Infosys to their Microsoft. In sport, however, it is a different story.
印度人喜欢认为我们能在任何领域内和世界上最好的国家竞争：他们有莎士比亚我们有迦梨陀娑，他们有爱因斯坦我们有拉玛奴金，他们有好莱坞我们有宝莱坞，现在，他们有微软我们有印孚瑟斯（Infosys）。但是，在体育运动上，则是另外一回事。
