THIS is apropos of the appalling statement made by Khwaja Junaid, the Pakistan Hockey coach. He said, after Pakistan finished 7th in the London Olympics, that at least ‘we did better than India and our future is bright’.

Why are we so India-centric in everything? Do we really think that for us the world begins and ends with India? I think the coach should have apologised to the nation and resigned instead of gloating that Pakistan ranked highest in Asia.
