Yes, definitely but it will take some time. In the recent times India is showing a remarkable transform among the developing nations and is growing day by day.

Conducting an international event like Olympics will definitely help our nation to set a mark among the superpowers.

It will introduce new opportunities in the field of employment and infrastructure and will attract foreign companies to invest funds (like sponsors).

And it will be an encouragement for our athletes too. They will get international facilities and training to boost themselves up.

Notably we had done achievements recently by hosting commonwealth games and other events like IPL, ISL etc which are quite successful and has helped our nation to meet international facilities.

But one suggestion I would say is prior to hosting such a big event India should continuously try to host other major sports events like commonwealth games, asian games and this will surely help in improving the infrastructure and facilities we offer and will make more confident to host the biggest sports event in the world.

Yeah! We can think of hosting the Olympics it not only good but India will get to show his country facilities and also show that what was India position in comparison to world it helps India in increase of their sponsorship, economy and India can increase it's trade by selling the items during the Olympics it also gives an impression to other countries that India is now being developing itself more. Apart from that people can increase their trade their items value by selling at different prices to the people coming from foreign country during Olympics. Even if Olympics held in India then it helps to remove disputes among other countries members too especially the country's who have any dispute with India as people came to see the Olympics as foreigners start talking people of India. In my opinion Olympics should be take place in our country as it resolves any problems related to economic, violations, trade with India, if the Olympics were held successfully in India then all others disputes being resolved and our country will not face any problems in future.

Hosting Olympics is a title of pride for every nation. However, I feel that India is not yet ready to host Olympics. There are many reasons behind that:

1) Lack of coordination between government and the people.

2) Rampant corruption in the country in all fields- construction, finance, and the list is endless!

3) Lack of efficient individuals to arrange a suitable platform for Olympics, like engineers, doctors, etc: This is primarily because most talented ones either settle abroad or show reluctance in serving their nation.

4) Impatience in people: We all are so impatient that even when a road is renovated in our locality, we burn out towards the traffic created. How can we all dream to patiently allow all the work to go on for Olympics, which would require many months!

5) Lack of interest: We all do not show interest even in our national game (Hockey), how shall we all show enthusiasm towards other games, or even to cheer up our guests!

If all these factors are uprooted, I shall proudly say that India can be one of the perfect hosts for Olympics.

Hosting the Olympics bring many opportunities to make our country developed from developing one. As it will create a lot of employment opportunity, create lots of trade and thus enhance our connectivity internationally, it will also enhance our economy, our coordination and a great step to invoke the hidden talent because we all know that India has huge potential. Many talents do not come to light because of their poor background but when it will be hosted in India these talents won't remain hidden longer.

But it should be remembered first the law of paying price, If we want to achieve something great then we have to manage all the stuff behind it, it needs a great amount of money to do all the constructions, the arrangement of living for the coming guests, players and all the requirements. And according to one of the suggestion shared, the Olympics should organise in the area near to rural ones so that they can also get profited by these opportunities.

So, at last, I want to say that if this price can be paid then we can dream of hosting the Olympics.

Hello friends.

In my opinion, I say yes, dreams are nothing but just like what we want to do in our future events but to full fill it we have to work according to that, we have that much strength, capacity to host an Olympic event. As firstly let's know about the general information that why and how we are capable of hosting an event like Olympic. As we stand 2 no. In population, so this shows that we have the power of manpower. More than 200 countries participate in Olympic and more than 40 different types sports events to be manage. This is not the big deal for us. But for that, we have to develop our infrastructure according to that. Because hosting an event like Olympic is not like hosting a Commonwealth Games. As per my views, we hosted the Commonwealth games but same way we struggle a lot. So some points to noticed while hosting such a big event.

Now, comes to benefits when we host the Olympic event. Firstly, it will help in the status of the country, it will generate employment opportunities. It will help money generation and economy growth.

YES. WE CAN DREAM BUT CAN ONLY DREAM can't make it practical. India should dream of hosting olympics. In 2010, during commonwealth games, international media has put up many questions on games and security arrangements. They don't even complete their arrangements under ultimatum. In 26/11, only 10 militants have blazed and shaken the Mumbai. Which shows the negligence of the government toward the security system. So forget to provide security for such international event. And by the way.

There are lots of work for our leaders to do in our country related to development instead of hosting Olympic. So they shouldn't waste money. First, India should Also make themselves a challenger type country in sports. China 150 medals won the match by two goals in 20 years and 20 minutes respectively. Media make them a big hero. So Olympics in India is just like the opposite to each other. In India, only two things run first is politics and second is cricket. So India is a good place for hosting election campaign and a tournament like silly IPL.

Hello everyone.

Yes, of course, we can dream of hosting Olympics. It's a great honor of any country to host such a big level event.

By hosting Olympics we will grab the attention of other countries and increase tourist in our country.

We should focus on others sports other than cricket. This will give great exposure to others sports and athletics. This will create awareness among Indian to focus on sports and participate in such events. It will motivate people to participate in sports events.

By hosting Olympics different people will get to know our country's culture.

But right know Indian government need to focus on infrastructure and provide all facilities. The Government need to create awareness so that more people participate in sports. Also, eradicate the unemployment and give all the facilities to everyone.

Also by hosting Olympics, Indian media will cover all events and show it internationally.

India needs some more year to overcome all the problems. Then we can surely host Olympics.

Yeah why not, we can certainly dream of Olympics and we must. This is not the country where we want only cricketers to get fame. There are many talents are desperately waiting for such an opportunity where they can show their talents. Apart from that having Olympics kind of level of our country benefits the country itself in many other different aspects, like hosting such a big event will certainly attract people around the globe. Which helps people from different parts of the to know more about our country's culture and all. The more the people attract towards our country the more it will benefit us in the economical background. But it's true that we are not ready for it at present time. We are dealing with many major problems 1st one is poverty, 2nd lack of employment, 3rd we are not having proper infrastructure to represent such a huge event. Firstly, we need to focus on all these things then only we can move towards the dream of having Olympics to be held at our beautiful motherland. Thanks.

Yes, we can dream of hosting Olympics. Our country is the fastest growing economy in the world. History shows that we have the potential. Asian games, common wealth games, cricket world cups, IPL, ISL and now under 17 football world cup. This shows that we have the ability to organise international games. But practically hosting a mega event like Olympics games is not possible so far for now. It needs very strong infrastructure, capital and political support. First, we should make proper stadiums for diverse games, proper accommodation and should emphasise on Security. Also organising such a mega event means incurring billions of government money which can be used to eliminate poverty or can be invested in the agricultural sector which will help to curtail the suicide of poor farmers. In my opinion, first, we have to make backbones of economy enough strong and should eliminate poverty at maxim extent and then only we will able to host such games more conveniently and efficiently.

Thank you.

"Imagination is a mother of creation".

Yes, we can although a lot of things yet to be changed.

First and foremost, India is a developing country and has a bright future and our economy taking a long jump day by day. We host IPL each year which is given oxygen to youngsters not only in India but also worldwide. For instance, Shane Watson had taken retirement in 2007 before introducing the IPL game but when IPL start he played for RR and had a prominent role in the victory of the team and immediately he taken his retirement back and join the national team and still providing a role of an all-rounder.

Although the reality is that in our country athletics are being overlooked by the government as well as people. We only enjoy cricket even, our football team could not enter in the top 100 since independence, it's the shameless thing for us. Hardly some people aware of our national game hockey.

If we are dreaming to host Olympics we firstly focus on all sports game which is played in Olympic.
