India’s Gold Rush Isn’t Over — It’s Just Getting Started

Ankush Panghal’s gold wasn’t just another win — it was a reckoning. For the first time since 2018, an Indian man stood atop the Asian Games boxing podium. With it came a cascade: Parveen Hooda’s redemption, Lovlina Borgohain’s birthday gift, and a historic archery triumph. India’s medal count surged to 74, with 14 golds. The next day looms — and the momentum won’t stop.
