Let's have a look at India's brightest medal prospects in Rio. It means they are very important from the exam point of view:
1) SAINA NEHWAL
Discipline: Badminton
Recent performances: She defended her Australian Open Superseries title and settled for a bronze at the Asian Championships.
Bio: Saina won a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics. Currently ranked No. 5 in the world, Saina became the first Indian woman to No. 1 spot in last year. She is the only Indian shuttler to win an Olympic medal.
2) PV SINDHU
Discipline: Badminton
Recent performances: World No. 10 PV Sindhu has had an inconsistent run the in the women's singles in badminton. Her lone title this year came in the Malaysia Masters where she beat Scotland's Kirsty Gilmour in the final. Last year she clinched the Macau Open title thus, completing a hat-trick.
Bio: PV Sindhu is the first ever women's singles player to win a medal at the World Championships, where she won the bronze in 2013 and 2014. Injuries have let her down throughout her career but she will be a dark horse in the women's singles event at Rio.
3) SRIKANTH KIDAMBI
Discipline: Badminton
Recent performances: Srikanth's moment of glory remains his win over badminton legend Lin Dan in the 2014 China Open Super Series final where he registered a stunning 21-19, 21-17 victory to become the first Indian to win a Super Series men's title. He clinched the Syed Modi International this year and won two more gold medals at the 2016 South Asian Games.
Bio: The past two years have been terrific for Srikanth as he became the first Indian male to win the Swiss Open Grand Prix and clinched the India Open Super Series right after that, on both occasions he defeated Viktor Axelsen in the finals. The China Open win will always be special for him while he also has a Thailand Open Grand Prix title to his credit.
4) DEEPIKA KUMARI
Discipline: Archery
Recent performances: One of India's biggest medal hopes, Deepika Kumari had to settle for silver in the mixed recurve pair event at the Archery World Cup in Kazakhstan. Deepika qualified for the Rio Olympics after scoring 686/720 in the women's recurve event at the World Cup in 2015, equalling the world record score earlier held by South Korea's Bo-Bae.
Bio: Deepika Kumari is a former world No. 1 ranked archer in women's recurve and won her first World Cup gold in the individual recurve stage in 2012. She also won a gold medal in the 2013 Archery World Cup and has 3 silver medals so far.
5) BOMBAYLA DEVI
Discipline: Archery
Recent performances: Nicknamed 'Bom', Bombayla Devi will be competing against her teammate Deepika Kumari in the women's individual events at Rio. Bombayla won a silver medal in the team event at the World Cup in Shanghai this year.

She won the Gold in the 2010 CWG in the recurve team event and has 12 podium finishes in World Cups and World Championships to her credit.
6) LAXMIRANI MAJHI
Discipline: Archery
Recent performances: Laxmirani Majhi will be making her maiden appearance at the Olympics this year. She clinched a silver medal in the individual recurve event and the team event at the 2015 Archery World Championships in Copenhagen last year, which got her a ticket to Rio.
Bio: Laxmirani is the least experienced in her team comprising of Deepika Kumari and Bombayla Devi. But her consistency leading up to the Games has been impressive. She is also one of the most accurate archers going around, one who can gets the 10s quite frequently.
7) IRFAN KOLOTHUM THODI 
Discipline: 20km racewalk
Recent performances: Irfan, popularly known as KT, narrowly missed out on the bronze medal at the 2013 IAAF World Walking Challenge where he was controversially disqualified from the race after committing three fouls. He came fourth in the Rio Olympic qualification event to secure his second consecutive Olympic berth for India.
Bio: Irfan is the current Indian record holder who burst onto the scene of race walking after securing a tenth-place finish at the London Olympics. He covered the 20km race in 1:22.19. He was forced to take a three-year hiatus from the sport due to a right ankle stress fracture.
8) TINTU LUKA
Discipline: Women's 800m
Recent performances: Tintu Luka is being trained by legendary Indian athlete P.T. Usha and she made it to the Rio Olympic squad thanks to a time of 2:00.95 minutes at the 2015 World Athletics Championships in Beijing. She secured a gold in the Asian Athletics Championships in the 800m event and won a silver in the 4x400m relay.
Bio: Tintu's impressive record includes a silver medal at the 2014 Asian Games in Incheon and a gold in the women's 4x400m relay in the same competition, which also saw India clinch its fourth consecutive gold since 2002.
9) VIKAS GOWDA
Discipline: Discus
Recent performances: Vikas made it to the Rio-bound squad after IAAF lowered its entry standards for athletes in order to have more participation in the track and field events during the games. He suffered a minor shoulder injury recently making him doubtful for the Games. But his father has assured that the ace discus thrower will be fit before the Olympics.
Bio: Vikas Gowda is being touted as one of the major medal hopefuls for India. Based in the United States, Vikas finished in eighth place in the London Games finals. He is the current national record holder and has two Asian Athletics gold medals to his credit. He also won a gold at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

What does a true Brit bite?

By
By Vidya Venkat Those rallying for British nationalism and a concomitant Brexit are forgetting that 'British culture' today is a nebulous idea. If people are what they eat, then there could be nothing uniquely ‘British’ about the Brits. When the news of the Brexit vote started coming in on Friday, June 24, my mind instantly went back to an ethnographic study of the popular UK supermarket chain Sainsbury’s, which I had done five years ago as a student of anthropology in London. Source: Wikipedia Bronisław Malinowski, a 20th-Century anthropologist, argued that culture functioned to meet the needs of individuals rather than society as a whole. Meaning, in an age of globalisation following a history of colonial cross-assimilation, Britain can hardly have an 'authentic culture'. In the study, I had set out to decode the Malinowskian “imponderabilia of everyday life” of the average British citizen. Bronislaw Malinowski, the father figure of British social anthr...

Is it good to fool people in name of God

By
Hello friends, Today i have come with another question in my mind i.e "Is it good to fool people in name of God ?". Recently a case on a saint Asaram has shocked all the people of India and foreign also ,that how a old man can do sexual assault of his grand daughter looking like child.At this time , this saint is behind the jail and facing a huge shame in front of  world. But after hearing all this type of news,i am always thinking that why people always follow such illiterate and inappropriate person who is just playing with your sisters/mothers/daughters and also earning for that. You will be shocked after hearing some of the facts of this ASARAM :   1. In early 1970, Asaram built his first ashram on 4 ha (10 acres) of land in Gujarat and began using the name Asaram Bapu. Presently, there are over 400 major and minor ashrams in India and abroad and numerous followers. 2. He preaches the existence of One Supreme Conscious and clai...

मनोविज्ञान से जुड़े अनसुनी सच्चाई क्या है?

By
1- शरीर की हर कोशिकाओं पर हमारे विचारों का प्रभाव पड़ता हैं। यदि विचारों में नकारात्मकता ज्यादा है तो रोग प्रतिरोधक क्षमता घट जाती है जिससे आप बहुत ज्यादा बीमार रहते हैं। 2- यदि कोई व्यक्ति ज्यादा सोता है तो वो ज्यादा उदास रहता है। 3- डिप्रेशन में जाना overthinking का नतीजा है। इस समय हमारा दिमाग उन प्रोब्लेम्स को create करने लग जाता है जिनका कोई अस्तित्व ही नहीं है। 4- यदि कोई व्यक्ति छोटी छोटी बातों पर भी ज्यादा हँसता है तो वो अपने आप को अंदर से अकेला महसूस करता है। 5- हमारा दिमाग जितना दिन में चलता है उससे तेज़ वो रात में वो भी सोते समय चलता है। इसके आलावा अकेला शरीर में सबसे ज्यादा ऊर्जा की खपत करता है। 6-मनोवैज्ञानिकों के अनुसार जिन लोगों को अपनी मातृ भाषा के आलावा कोई अन्य भाषा भी आती है वे लोग ज्यादा बेहतर तरीके से निर्णय लेने में सक्षम रहते हैं। 7- आप जितने ज्यादा ठन्डे कमरे में सोयेंगे, रात को उतना ही डरावना सपना आने का चांस बढ़ जायेगा। 8- किसी Joke पर हंसने के लिए हमारे दिमाग को पांच अलग-अलग हिस्सों में काम करना पड़ता है। 9- 60% लोग अपने Life की Negative चीज़ों से दूर भागने के लि...
