Can we dream of hosting the 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.

Hello Everyone,

According to my point of view, Dreaming about something can never go wrong but for changing the dream into reality we must become financially strong, technologically forward and corrupt free country. India is a developing country and yes it has more percentage of youth than any other country, definitely, Olympics will raise the youth interest towards games But before all this India must become capable, as hosting such an event is a big responsibility. A country must have good infrastructure for this as well.

After few years when India will be developed then only we can look forward towards hosting Olympics.

Dreaming about it, working towards it, changing it into reality and then successfully organising it will be a great achievement for the country.

Thank You.

Hey folks.

I believe that holding an Olympic in our country at this time is not a good dream to be dreamt of if we go according to our economic burden we have other aspects of society to look on. Like.

In India 2.1% of disabled are there.

In terms of global index for women empowerment, global openness, criteria of living, we are lacking behind from our neighbor countries too.

The first job of ours is to raise our standard, then only we can think of dreaming something big like Olympics.

Yes, definitely we can dream as well as capable also for hosting the Olympics. India has more youngest ppl than other country this will encourage youth towards game. Today's youth are not attracted towards game except cricket, hosting Olympics gives focus on other games also which needs to be emphasize along with proper facilities and coaching but this will result in heavy infrastructure expenses which need to be compensated through public private partnership we should encourage to private billionaire to Spencer this.

From my point of view, if we dream then only we achieve. But it should be practical. Because now India is not a condition of hosting Olympic. Due to lack of proper infrastructure advancement of technology. Hugination is also a major factor in which India lacks. So instead of investing money on hosting Olympic we should capable of doing that.

Hello everyone,

Yes, we not only dream we can organize Olympics in our country as we have organised commonwealth in 2010, south Asian games in 2016 also this year we are organizing FIFA U17 World cup. We are population of 125 cr approx 20% of world all our youth are crazy for sports so we can organize this event with full energy and support. As we know that in our country sports man does not get good facilities for sports everywhere and also lack of ground and coaches in India. By organizing olympics in our country we can have new grounds, kits, coachs etc which definitly support our sports person after event. Also as we are compiting with developed countries in many like space, defence etc. We can include sports also in the list by this event.

Yes, we can obviously dream of hosting the Olympics because it can possible for India to host the Olympics. But as for now, first of all government of India think to provide the good infrastructure, sports arena, well and latest technology of sports equipment and big and main point is there should be no corruption in sports because if a sportsman does well and bring the medal for the country then it is we who will be proud and India become famous all over the world. So instead of spending billions of money on hosting on Olympics government of India should think of spending money on sports. We all expects from the sportsman to bring the medal from the country but government of India did not spend much money on this sportsman. So I think, we will definitely host an Olympics but as of now, government of India should focus on good infrastructure, flooding, equipment, hygienic and corruption free India.

Thank you!

Hello guys,

Yes, we as a nation can dream of hosting the Olmpics, but we need some more time to gain stability because of the loopholes in system, we as a nation need to get rid of issues like corruption, illiteracy, healthcare etc. Because the whole world knows what happned in the Commonwealth games in delhi corruption, poor services to other nations sportsperson and corruption by some people, one of the bridge collapsed while its construction was going on. So we need to improve such things so that we can show to the whole world thqt we are capable of hosting the olympics in future.

Yes, we can dream the hosting of Olympics. There was a lot of problems to face when we host the commonwealth games 2010, there were a lot of corruption. There will be positive and clean governance to host the Olympics. For conducting the Olympics there has a dedicated panel to host the games and the successful hosting the Olympics gives the nation pride and good image in the world. This platform gives a lot of motivation to the youth of nation and lot of sportsman want to participate.

Hi friend,

In my view, in present economic conditions and insufficient infrastructure India can't host the Olympics.

As we considered about Delhi Commonwealth games there are many corruption issue and lots of money are wastes of security of players and foreign delegate.

Thanks.
