Yes, We can dream of hosting the Olympics. As we know that it requires planning, finance and proper management but we can make it a reality, if we are self, determine to do that. India is having a big ratio of the youth population and it can help in hosting Olympics. We know it will have huge long-term benefits as we can understand the importance of hosting the Olympics. We will get recognized by all the countries and it will help to boost our economy and we can think of improving our GDP by the investment of other countries in our country. We can understand the importance of it.

India has enough land, enough human resource, enough technology and enough money. And India has already successfully hosted commonwealth games. So of course, India is able to host big events even Olympics. Security might be a concern. But I think India can provide enough security also. So the question is not "Can India" its "Should India host Olympics".
The thing is hosting events like Olympics requires large money. It requires too much land and infrastructure, simply it requires large money. I had told India has enough money, what I meant is India has a big economy and Indian governments has big budget. So it can host it using this money, which could be used for the benefits of the people.
You may think Olympics provides employment opportunities to many people and hence the GDP may increase. But I do't think so. Olympics does provide employment. Even narega yojan provides employmet - digging holes and filling them up, and government pays the employees for doing nothing anything useful.
Olympics provides employments in constructing and all, but all those becomes useless after Olympics end.
So the government has to simply spend money which could be used for people's benefits.
There are many people in our country who are struggling just for food. And the children are not having the nutritious food. They are losing their basic right - education. There are many things on which money has to be spent. So I'm pretty clear about this, It would be a bad idea if government decides to host Olympics in our country.

In my view as INDIA is a developing country and we learn a lot from commonwealth gam3s when we are hosting it and as India has so many resources we have good infrastructure we achieve this dream very soon as it encourage sportsman and youths to do their best in Olympics although there are problems of poverty besides this we have many sources.

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.

It is not a right time to hosting the Olympic because at that time we don't have such type of infrastructure and management and cities for living the athlete and traffic management system is a very challenging in our country.

Yes, indeed we can, but the question is 'should we?'. I think we should it is good source of revenue through tourism. It will certainly give a good opportunity for Indian athlete to show their charisma, and also it will give a nudge to the 'all time backward' performance of Indian Olympic Committee and finally people will realise there is more to sports than Cricket.

Hello friends,
In 2010, Delhi hosted Common wealth games. But Indian authorities were criticized with the management and poor infrastructure. Complain were so much that we Indian felt ashamed. When comes to hosting Olympics, Question is who should we trust with management as corruption is everywhere, it's better to develop current Players and training academy of sports, sorry to say right now we can't waste money and still get ashamed by international players and countries.
So We should not dream about hosting Olympics.

In December 2012, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) suspended India's National Olympic committee for not adhering to the former's rules and regulations and for planning to appoint corrupt officials in India\'s National Olympic committee.
Even after this incident, Indian Sports Minister Jitendra Singh is optimistic that the dispute will be resolved and that the suspension will be lifted. For the suspension to be lifted, it is important for the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and India's National Olympic committee to follow IOC's guidelines and rules.
First and foremost, IOA needs to amend its constitution and ban corrupt officials from taking part in IOA's elections. IOC has accused IOA of giving precedence to the Indian government's Sports Code and ignoring the Olympic Charter.
The Olympic Charter clearly states that there should be no government interference; however, the IOA did not abide by this rule and allowed the Delhi court to interfere with its operations.
India\'s dream of hosting the Olympics is not shattered yet because IOC has not de-recognized IOA. IOA has one last chance to make amendments, and if it is successful in doing so, we may be bestowed with the opportunity of hosting the Olympics.
Sadly, the animosity between IOC and IOA is great - IOC has refused to compromise on ethics and has given IOA a last warning. If IOA refuses to abide by IOC's rules or fails to make the necessary amendments to its constitution, IOC may de-recognize IOA at its executive board meeting. And this would shatter India's dream of hosting the Olympics.
Despite IOC's repeated warnings, IOA continues to defy the former's orders "in fact, on October 27, 2013, the IOA special general body held a meeting to amend its constitution but proposed referring the cases of corruption to its own ethics committee, which will then decide on the fate of the accused.
IOA's repeated defiance towards IOC will prove to be costly "IOA may be de-recognized and Indian athletes may be barred from participating in the Olympics and the Asian Games.
IOA will be holding a general body meeting in New Delhi on December 8, 2013, and it is hoped that the meeting will help resolve the dispute between IOA and IOC.
If all goes well and IOA agrees to follow the rules set by IOC, India may be given the privilege and honor of hosting the Olympics.
However, if IOA continues to defy IOC, we may have to bid adieu to our dream of hosting the Olympics.

Yes, in today's situation if other countries are hosting the Olympics then why can't we? Yes, we can say that we are lagging behind in financial status from those countries but now we can dream of hosting the Olympics, as our hon. PM (N. Modi) introduced such a good scheme to make all the black money into white. Demonization is a good step to move towards the removal of corruption and black money. When those black money will be turned into white ones, then obviously we can dream of hosting the Olympics. Because India is a good leading country and can do anything that it dreams.

Yes, I want that our country also hosts Olympics, but it is not possible because as we see last time in Commonwealth, people do lots of corruption which are not good and a drawback for our country. But one day my country also able to host Olympics and there is no corruption in our country and not olympic we lost all of the games which are not hosted in our country now days. Our country is not poor but some people who make it that.
If all the peoples become corruption less so our country leads the world.
Thank you and have a nice day.
