According to my viewpoint, as of now, we cannot just think of hosting a grand mega event like Olympics. Hosting such an event requires a huge expenditure in improving infrastructure facilities. We are already short of resources and if for a sec, we assume that we have surplus resources we should consider other problems first which needs utmost attention. A large proportion of the population is living below poverty line, millions are unemployed, and various other issues of great concern.
I understand that hosting such an event will encourage sports other than cricket, the economic growth rate will also increase but what about the funds.
If India wants to continue its dream of becoming a developed nation in the near future then it has to employ its financial resources in the best possible manner.

No. I personally don't think that we can dream of hosting the Olympics. First of all we don't have enough resources to host such a grand event. Let us assume that we have surplus resources, then we must first think of developing our country and solving problems like unemployment, etc rather than spending it to host the Olympics.

YES, we can dream of it.
But implementing it is a completely different scenario.
Considering the current situation of Indian Government and looking at its past actions like Commonwealth games, the transition of the broadband spectrum from 1g to 2g, and many more events, have shown the corrupt picture of the GOI.
Take the present scenario of the people's satisfaction towards government: very low, because GOI is not spending the plausible amount of taxes taken from their very own people, which in fact chose them in the first place.
When hosting Olympics massive amount of the taxes are spent in things related to Olympics, if that is done the GOI will get a decent reason to deceive people of India, and thereby creating more chaos in the country.

Yes, India is ready for this grand event this will help in boosting the scope of Olympics people will get to know even more about the games that are part of the Olympics most of the Indian youth play cricket because of the promotion of this particular game is too much. Hosting the Olympics will let people to know more about the games and if we compare cricket with Olympics limited players get selected even those with the ample of talent even considered as the least, Olympics is the fair play due to lot's of games involved in this sport person has the more opportunity to develop his interest and no corruption involved in these game.

First of all, we need to know what is Olympics, It's a event began over 2700 years ago in Olympia, in the southwest Greece. The game was a part of the religious festival, it was staged in every 4 years Olympia, a valley near a city called Elis, People from all over the Greece world came to watch and take part.
India isn't ready to host any big event other than cricket and Hockey, as the infrastructure for this two games has been already there in the country, and if India needs to organize Olympic event then firstly it needs to improve the quality of infrastructure for the events. Secondly, India has to accommodate the international players who will come to participate in the event, so India needs many more hotels and infrastructures to serve them. Thirdly, as India would host the event, it will be shameful for India to get a very less number of participants in the Olympics, so the athletes need to be taken care of and inspired to get selected for the Olympics.

There are conflicting opinions regarding this issue but the bitter truth is that our nation is still far away from hosting Olympics. The core concern of our democracy must be eradication of poverty, corruption, improving the financial condition of our own nation.
Unemployment:It is one of the issues which need to be handled by our government But if we see on the other hand India is not very far from the transition from a developing to a developed economy. And as soon it transforms into a developed economy, the ability to host this mega event as well as the resources required will not be far from the reach of our nation.
So we all desire that the dream of hosting Olympics is fulfilled very soon.

Yes, ofcourse, we can dream of hosting Olympics. But when you go in detail. It is better to organize Olympics like big event in developed countries. Who can deal with any problem and make it a success. So by India like developing country. It is not a good idea. Because we are not financially strong yet to spend lots of human resources and money. In Olympics. But in upcoming years when we grew as a developed country. This offer itself belongs to us.

We can dream anything, until, we don't dream anything how can we execute it?
Now, coming on reality, India has the potential to host the Olympics as we all know India just hosted u-17 football world cup successfully and around 10 cr was the attendance. I know a big scam has been done during commonwealth games in India but that time was different at that time the biggest corrupt party was in the rule but I think now India is doing well and growing day by day, that day is not so far when India will host the Olympics.
