Yes anyways we wont be getting any medals. Instead of getting embarassed by participating, we should embarass the Chinese by boycotting Olympics....
Symbolic signs of diplomacy has nothing to do with expected returns. A slim little man sitting on a fast-unto-death isn't inferior to a fatso who normally eats 18 meals a day. Had that been the criteria; a certain Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi would have been laughed off by every Britisher, and Medha Patkar would be the joke of the century. So correct your thought process before it is too late.

Amrit: Very poor logic. You don't boycott Olympics because someone is gonna notice the hundreds of medals are going elsewhere. US and its allies boycotted the Moscow Olympics in 1980. Do you think it was because of the medals tally that the world noticed? Sad state of affairs, if this is how our countrymen are thinking.

Definitely, we should think of boycotting this Olympics for giving a fitting rely for their action against Indian Ambassador. Well the reason for boycotting for the record should be this whereas off the record we could be saving our face as there is no prospect of getting any medal in this Olympics.
