"What are mushti and lakshyabheda?"
Just any sport where you have to hit a target as in archery, shooting etc are called lakshyabhEda.
mushti bodhi seems to have used for boxing.
I think Indians have some potential in weightlifting and swimming.
In track and field, its best to concentrate on field events such as hammer throw etc cuz Indians really have no chance in sprints with the likes of Usain Bolt or long distance (dominated by east african origin athletes), perhaps we may do decently in middle distance. Before someone brings up Liu Xiang in 110m hurdles, his WR has already been broken by an Afro-Cuban athlete named Dayron Robles who is the favorite to take the gold tomorrow.
So Indians better weigh their strengths and concentrate on those sports before trying to be all around pandits.
