Hi Everyone, I personally feel that India's next shot at hosting the Olympics 2036 is really not a great idea. In the recent past, nations have incured losses as part of hosting such a big event. Corruption has been the biggest reason behind the same and India is no different. The Commonwealth Games of 2010 still show us how some high ranked people around us make it a way to fill their pockets instead of conducting an event properly.

Adding to all these headaches is India's poor infrastructure when it comes to some very important sports such as swimming and events related to the same. India is not having world class aquatic centres as of now to hold it. It would absolutely mad and sad if India is prioritizing a single event over the future of the nation. India do need better faculties but for the champions in out nation and not for any single event. Moreover, the nation needs to improve in sports first before bringing such big events to this soil. Else their won't be any Indian spectators in majority of the sports complex due to low participation of Indians themselves in these events.

Hello friends, it is true that we can host the Olympics.

But there are some concerns regarding the decisions taken in favour of hosting the Olympics:

1. It is true that India has a good talent in the Olympics, but compared to most of the developed nations, we rank very badly when it comes to the Olympics.
2. The cost of building the infrastructure required to host the Olympics is too much and might lead to bankruptcy like in Greece.
3. If the footfall of the tourists is very low, we will have to depend on the Indian population to fill the seats of the stadium.
4. There can be chances of dangerous attacks on civilians by external/internal forces for which we will have to spend more on security.
5. Hosting the Olympics in a city increases the cost of booking a room in a city, which is a problem for those who need to visit that place during an emergency as the cost of the room will be very high.

Thank you.

In my perspective I think India should host the Olympics it's increase our GDP and most sports get popular like cricket in India and it will increase foreign investment through the conduct of the Olympics in India our country will build many talented athletes like famous cricketers Virat, Dhoni, we will know the other games as well.

Hi everyone. I think India should host the Olympic games.
As we all know majority of Indians are cricket-biased. To host the Olympics we need to invest a good portion of our GDP to improve our infrastructure and stadiums that we lack. With that improvement we can bid 2036 Olympics & also gain the opportunity to host. First of all, we can showcase our traditions and cultures to the world. Besides we can get foreign investments and build up strong international relations.

A huge employment will be generated in this country. India can gain the opportunity to reach the top 3 major economies in the world. Tourism will automatically boost up. I think two major cities Ahmedabad and Bhubaneswar have enough potential to host the Olympic games to be a part of history.

Regarding this hosting the Olympics is a national proud moment if India hosts the Olympics it will contribute to our GDP, our tourism increase and we have top-class facilities so there will be no single problem for the other nations' players.

Olympics in our country build more confidence in our players. They can get support from local people if they win more medals.

I think it's a great opportunity to communicate with people from other countries when we organize the Olympics.

We can also participate in this competition, showcase our talent, and prove our national abilities.

I think it is a great opportunity for us and it is time to show our talent and our nation's ability.

When we organize the Olympics it creates a relationship with other countries and makes strong relations with the country.

And it also creates employment rates.

The chances are high but we don't know how it would turn out as it is not cricket. Although the Olympics is considered the biggest event in the world, our country is still a cricket-obsessed nation. We don't take any other sport as a priority.

And this is also a reason why we lag so much in the Olympics. But the situation is changing and people are becoming more aware of sports other than cricket where India participates and we cheer for them. For that reason, I think our country can host the Olympics shortly.

Yes, India should host the Olympics as there are many advantages of hosting the Olympics many sports which are not so popular like cricket will get promoted. Through the Olympics, India can also increase its soft power in the world, and tourism industries will also grow as we can attract foreigners through our diverse culture, historical monuments, and landscapes. The most important thing is it increases employment.

At last, I think we should not miss any chance to host the Olympics as it helps to achieve India its dream.

We are feeling proud as India's become my fifth largest economy now India's population is the world's highest but the world's biggest economy is the US we live in a country where 30% of the population lives below the poverty line and we are spending money on the hosting of Olympic games we must we must prioritise the well being of those currently suffering from poverty in India. Daily many people die from hunger in India also there is a lack of facilities in the rural areas in the healthcare education sector so we must improve the conditions.

Definitely, we are the fastest growing economy but are per capita income is still very low we have a huge mighty population of 1.4 billion people but we have having economy of only four trillion dollars the USA has a population of only 35 million has an economy of 25 trillion dollar isn't it a same on our country that we are spending money on Olympics.
