Hi,
Yes, we can dream of hosting the Olympics, but before hosting that we have to give equal importance to every sport including cricket. When we dream big we work hard to achieve that which surely results in success. But from my childhood days till now I have seen when there is a ceremony of hosting some mega event, always a person from a professional background is invited. Here background means from politics, business and so on.
So, from this, it is clear that for hosting the Olympic first we have to become something and create an image in public by not moving into politics or not doing business, because we can give to our society without being involved in politics or business also. But we should do something for which people will appreciate us and have a positive attitude towards us.
For example, in the year 2018 A.R Rehman, Shahrukh Khan and Salman Khan were invited to "Cuttack-Odisha" for hosting the Men's hockey world cup which was held between 28th November to 16th December.
As we all know A. R. Rehman had contributed back to back hit songs to Bollywood, whereas Salman Khan and Shahrukh Khan had given back to back hit movies to Bollywood, Salman Khan also runs many NGO's for needy.
Hence, I conclude by saying that not only being successful person leads us to host the Olympics but also we have to be a good human being.
Thank You.

Hello everyone,
At this moment, I don't think that India is capable enough of hosting the Olympics, reasons been-.
1- A large amount of money is spent in hosting the Olympics. For e.g, the total expenditure of the Rio Olympics is estimated to be around $4. 6 billion, and that of London Olympics 2012 is around $15 billion. In case of India, being a developing country, spending such a huge amount may not be a wise decision. Instead, we should spend this money on other fields like in medicines, science, technology, research etc.
2- India is constantly in threat of terrorist attacks, and has witnessed a number of ceasefire violations by Pakistan. In order to host the Olympics, India first needs to address the security issues which are pertaining here. In order to ensure the security of around 25000 delegates/representatives (or more) from different nations, a large amount of money, as well as security personnel, are needed.
3- India had hosted the 2010 Commonwealth games, in which around 71 countries participated. This was supposed to be the proud moment for India, but eventually, became the shameful moment, because of the various scams, poor management and several other controversies.
Keeping in mind, the above points, I think that at this present scenario, India is not in the position to host Olympics. Thanks a lot.

Hello everyone.
Yes, we can see the dream to hosting one of the biggest sports events of the world which is the Olympics.
But first, these improvements are needed for the betterment of these things:.
1) We have to emphasize to awareness in the sports field.
2) Government has to develop a sports academy for sportspersons for a better quality of sportspersons.
3) Government Has to declare more money in the sports quota.
4) Participating in Olympic is the dream and desire of many sportspersons so for them Indian govt has to think about that.
5) For the Olympics event India has to develop a city for organizing and after that they have to do something extraordinary in this field.
6) In 2009 India organized Olympic in our country.
7) This biggest event will encourage the sportspersons to do more better in sports.
8) It will also encourage the boys and girls from a very small town or village who have so much enthusiasm for sports.
9) As an Indian we always give priority to only cricket and also ignore other sports so this is the duty of every citizen of India to spread the awareness of sports via social media and news channels.
10) As a conclusion, yes we can see a dream to organize a successful Olympic event, and this dream will definitely come true after several years.
Thank You.

There are lots of difficulties to host the Olympics, in India. The points are that -
(1) To host an Olympics should have proper infrastructure, economically support etc. As I, think 15-16 billion dollar must be available in hosting Olympics.
(2) There are 205 countries are take part in biggest field. So, there a lot of dressing room, playground, support stuff must available. But our country does not arrange these proper ways due to mix management.
(3) Corruption is one of the most important think. As we all know 2010, Commonwealth games where 71 countries were took parts. But there are lots of corruption are done, basic infrastructure was very weak. Number of people are also involved but they are also corrupted which is proofed.
(4) Security are also important. We never forget 25/11, terrorism activities.
(5) Our country also do not focus on athlete, they are not trained properly. As a result, our infrastructure, sports management are weak.
(6) We only focus some games. I.E. Cricket But not others game properly. I think investment should be done in grass wood level. At last, security, infrastructure, sports management, coaching stuff should be appointed by government. And corruption must eradicate from society. If we do these I, think in future we can host the Olympics.

Hi friends,
Dream is not what we see during sleep, dream is something which do not let us sleep.
A nation dreaming to host Olympics is a step towards making itself capable of handling any event of the world. Its step towards making itself capable of the best hospitality to tourists irrespective of their numbers. Its step towards making its own population aware about certain games and sports in which they can have a good potential.
But, Our country India has to set some priorities in its dream. Its not the only dream we have drempt off. Our country has plenty of other dreams too which according to me is of higher priority. We still do not have electricity in some villages in our country. Our farmers still do not have sufficient money and income to feed themselves. Certain parts of our country are still prone to riots. Caste based politics still prevail and now cow based politics too has started.
So, according to me, we shall host Olympics only when TV sets and electricity reaches every corner of the country. We shall host olympics only when we are truly secular and respect each religion and race. We shall feed athletes in Olympics only when our farmers are able to feed themselves. We can afford foreign coaches only when each school in our country provide a good teacher. Jai Hind!

If we are talking about dreams than any country can dream of hosting Olympics. But when we talk about to make it true then especially with India we need some important improvements to make it true. The very first thing we need to improve is our player's conditions and performance as we have already seen our players performances in Olympics. We should provide them with that much of facilities and training to perform very well in Olympic so that our medals positions will get closer to the top and they will also realize that India has the capability to play to win and to host Olympic.
The second improvement we need is that we have to control on our corruption level as economy varies a lot to host Olympic level of games and Indian economy is not at all bad but what bad is our corruption that we have already seen in commonwealth games so to make the dream come true we need to work on our corruption.
The third improvement we need is to education and awareness as in India so much of players cannot even show their talent to anyone because of their parents and relative thinks that there is no future in games, so what we need is to aware them to support their children for their talent.
So, when we get over from these things then one day definitely India will be the host of Olympic games.

Yes, it's true that hosting the Olympics is just a dream for India. Of course, we have a lot of benefits if such kind of event happens in India. But every coin has two sides. The major problem with India is corruption. If we talk about common wealth games then they spend 195 crores for time equipment. All the firms those are offering the equipment and services at lesser cost were rejected. Actually, in India, everybody wants benefits of their relatives their loved ones they don't care about the country. India gets ashamed at international level for such kind of act. Athletes were ready but the equipment was not there.
In my personal opinion, first, we need to tackle these issues. We need to find the solution for these kinds of things. Today what is dream tomorrow we will host that dream. We have potential to do everything but first, try to figure out the problems and their solutions. Everybody wants his/her nation at the top of the world. At the time of common wealth games, a bridge collapse near Jawahar Laal Nehru stadium our Indian army rebuilt that bridge within two weeks. It's amazing job done by our army. Every where there is corrupt people as well as good people. If we start our preparation today then definitely we one day we will be the host of Olympics.

Yes, India can host Olympic games in the future. As we all know the hosts are already decided till 2028 so India may bid for the editions after that. Till that time our per capita income would have increased considerably, GDP would have increased and we have already showed this year that we can be good hosts. No country is corruption free but it's events like this bring joy, wealth and International recognition to a Nation. 2032 is still far away and we can dream of hosting Olympic games around then. Our way of thinking towards our nation could have changed by that time. We have organised every international sports event successfully. Yes a lot need to be done in that regard but yes it is an achievable dream.
The preparation for the games are looked after by the Olympics committee and there is very less government intervention in decision making so games management and infrastructure can be put in place in time. If our economy can withstand demonetisation and the 2008 recession then I think we can bare the burden of hosting Olympic games. So many jobs would be created, world class infrastructure would come up. That will benefit us only. Commonwealth stadiums in New Delhi organise events throughout the year.
So yes, India can dream of hosting Olympic games.

Yes we can.
Now, India has sufficient infrastructure, manpower, developed technogy, security and each and every thing which is required to organize this event India has that's thnigs. Now only we want a good govt who can execute this task property without any corruption. In India every year IPL is organized it's also a big event and its continued almost 45-50 day, if this type of event can organized successfully then I can say indai can also organized and managed Olympic easily.
By organizing Olympic in India we will give our player a great chance to show there talent to our country and also they will feel good while performing in front of home croud. And one more thing will happen by this is that many of the youngster who don't no about the diw sports they can also get attreted to it by seeing it's advertisement and publicity.
It will help our country to showcase his power at international level and every body from around the world can see that INDIA is capable of every thing.
By organizing this event we will promote tourism also many ppl will come from diff country to see the games so they will travel also in there spare time it would be also a good desicion as a business prospective.
Many thing can be changed after this event for India.
Thanks.

Yes, dreaming is a birth right, there is no harm dreaming about hosting Olympics, but turning into a reality is near impossible task at least, for now. Hosting any kind of International sporting event is a burden to the country's economy, especially in the developing nations. The budget should be around 1 billion dollars. When there is a huge money involved, that too under Government, without any doubt there will be corruption at all stages, from tender to implementation, inauguration till closing ceremony. Besides money you need manpower, that too skilled manpower. If you are running short of skilled. Manpower, you try to manage with the available labourers, hence delaying the project. Once you are done with the event, everything returns to the normal state. That huge aesthetically built stadium, 40 apartments containing 4000 rooms, everything built for athletes and audience, remain empty. You need to. Spend again for. Maintenance of these buildings, and stadium. So, this is all possible by a nation which has already grown up big and is saturated and is only all about diplomacy and world peace. But, we could really bring honour to our country first by winning some medals, using our pool of talents in the country.
