Stringent medical standards for aviation (Multi crew) I normally associate with 3rd world countries. They normally "cant see the wood for the trees." Just because you are as fit as a world class athlete, does not mean you are safe in anyway shape or form.
We could all learn a lot from the US and their reasonable medical standards for aviators.
India have a military Dr. administer the medical examination, which takes one whole day every 6 months. What a load of c**p!
Just review their appalling accident/incident record, proves this without a doubt.
