The 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow saw India reach new milestones. While the country secured its first-time gold medals in judo, the contingent also earned its first-ever silver medal in decathlon. However, it was in boxing where India achieved the unthinkable, as 10 athletes won medals, seven of them gold. During an interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi at his residence, the boxers spoke about how their opponents had developed an 'India phobia' due to the dominant performances of the country's pugilists.
