As Sakshi Malik won India the bronze medal in 58kg Women's Wrestling and made the entire nation proud, Omar Quraishi, a Pakistani journalist, mocked India's win at the Rio Olympics 2016 in a series of tweets.

"Finally one of the 119 competitors that India sent to Rio has won a medal -- a bronze -- now see how they portray it as if they won 20 golds. For a population of over 1.25 billion India managed just one bronze medal -- Norway with 5 million managed 2," he said.

The outrage on Twitter was almost immediate.

@vivekrajindia @omar_quraishi sir, what is your problem? Can't be happy for your neighbour? Live and let live

@manakgupta Tch tch tch....this coming from a nation where not even one player could qualify for olympics

@priyankac19 @manakgupta only if bomb making, squabbling, finger pointing&terrorising was a sport, Pak would have excelled. Just saying. @omar_quraishi


@Sanjil_v @omar_quraishi One medal gets pakis jealous. A few more and you might run to U.N. crying like you do about kashmir😂

@KyaUkhaadLega .@omar_quraishi A small correction sir, *that India was able to send because they qualified.* and then tweeted the Tribune headline saying, No Pakistani qualifies for Rio.

Omar Quraishi then tweeted, "My TL would suggest that may Indians on Twitter are quite intolerant of criticism - one bronze for 1.25 billion people is valid criticism."


And finally, Amitabh Bachchan tweeted a sentiment echoed by 1.25 billion people: @SrBachchan For me it is worth a 1000 golds and even that is not enough. Pride for Sakshi, proud that she is Indian and a woman.
