Hi, @Prashanth, @Prakash, @Roamingrover86, @Fly_like_a_don, @nitinsanker, @tirtha22, @sounak , @Indian Sports fan
We had a successful Paralympics where we finished in top 20 in either Olympics or Paralympics ever. So I have compiled points table based on Top 6 performance in each event where 1st place gets 10 points, 2nd gets 7 pts, 3rd gets 5, 4th gets 3, 5th gets 2,6th gets 1, .

There is also number of participants per country in each event listed which is named 'Quota'. Qualified but non-participation is not included in Quota.

'Top 6' is the number of events a country finished in Top 6. Thus Conversion = Top 6 / Quota which implies Contingent quality.

I have also introduced a term called 'Normalized Points' which is Points / (Number of events in that sport). For example, if a country wins just 1 Gold in Archery, they will get 10 points but 10 points/ 9 events = 1.11 Normalized Points. This metric will be high for countries who earn points in multiple sports.

'Sport' can be defined as set of events governed by same federation

Salient Observations for India
1) India is 22h ranked in quotas earned and 17th in Points and 20th in Normalized Points which means its a par performance by the contingent

3) In Asia, India is 5th in terms of points ( :CHN , :JPN , :KOR , :UZB )
