This is not a small feat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said while hosting the victorious Thomas Cup team, players of which were chuffed to get the backing of the country's premier.
Few days after congratulating the players over telephone for their historic triumph at the prestigious tournament in Bangkok, PM Modi met in person and interacted with the badminton squad, which also included players from the women's Uber Cup team.
"I congratulate the whole team on behalf of the nation. This is not a small feat. You have done it. There was a time when we were so behind in these tournaments that no one would know here," said Mr. Modi.
