Yes, why can't we dream of hosting the Olympics, in my opinion, there is every possible way of hosting such a huge event. We all know India has hosted events like Cricket World Cup and Commonwealth Games, yes CWG was not very successful as many scams took place but this time it is Mr.Narendra Modi's Gov, the way he is working towards India making it corruption free & has promoted India globally so far reduces the chances of scams to null.
While talking of financial issues, apart from Gov, some of the India's leading companies like Tata, Reliance, Wipro can take initiative in terms of monetary funds for conducting such noble event.
On an average, 200 countries participate in Olympics which will augment the goodwill of our country globally. In the end, I like to conclude by saying INDIA is a country where many sports are appreciated and have enormous sports lovers, the great audience will boost for Indian Athletes so there will be a good chance of bringing more Gold Medals in the home.

"Imagination is a mother of creation".
Yes we can although 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 in 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 team and immediately he taken his retirement back and join national team and still providing a role of all rounder.
Although reality is that in our country athelthics are being overlooked by government as well as people. We only enjoy cricket even, our football team could not enter in top 100 since independence, it's shameless thing for us. Hardly some people aware about our national game hockey.
If we are dreaming to host Olympics the we firstly focus on all sports game which are played in Olympic.

INDIA can obviously and easily host the Olympics because of huge amount of money our government have and even we have some big names like TATA, Reliance etc who can easily sponsor the event and yes there is a home advantage and our players can bring more medals, tourism will increase which is great economically and stadiums will be useful for further use and etc. But apart from all this first of all we need to think of corruption in our country and even if there is no corruption and scams, our country is a developing country and there are many areas we need to focus on which work is to be done or money should be spent like if we talk of sports money should be spent on promotion of every kind of sport (not only cricket) and clubs should be built in each and every city or village, so that anyone can think of pursuing career in sports, then there is education, agriculture, research etc. So I think now is not a better time to host the Olympic but may be after 15 years or so.

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.

Yes, we can dream of hosting the Olympics because India is now strong in economically than the previous time.
To organize the CWG 2010, Asian Olympics games, t20 cricket every year, international cricket matches successfully in our country proves our ability.
We need to learn from our previous mistakes like corruption, poor infrastructure and to improve it.
Before to organize international events, govt should spend money on our talented players to provide them world class coaching, good diet, infrastructure, equipment so that they will win more medals.
To conduct the Olympics, Our country will give a good message at an international level that we can do anything.
My last suggestions that govt should spend money on all players not only winners. Example- state and central govt have been given crores of rupees to Shakshi Tanwar but the players who given their best in a game but could not get medals are poor. I think govt should look all equally.
Thanks.

I really don't know if India is really into hosting Olympic. For all the average Indians cricket is still there 'National Game'. Of course launch of ISL has indeed increased the popularity and love for football among us. We don't have much interest or top training centers for Olympic events. So there would still be a little long time for us to host Olympics.
As India is a democratic country there would a lots of critics for hosting Olympics. They would prefer to settle other internal concerns of India before hosting an Olympic.
On a positive note if India hosts Olympic, It would mark a historic and transitional period for India in the minds of other countries. Olympics would be much more considered in Asia with India hosting it. Hosting Olympics would also prove our capabilities and also make us on of the strongest nation inside the mind of foreigners.
So as dream has no limits. I really wish and pray the my INDIA also hosts Olympics in near by future.

Yes we can dream of hosting Olympics as we saw that recently concluded under 17 FIFA world cup attracted a lot of audience. This can further help to boost the confidence for the upcoming players and may also lead in future of India hosting FIFA world cup. These type of events when occur in a country help to increase the tourism which further helps to increase the economy of country.
As we saw during commonwealth games in Delhi there was a large infrastructure development, if such an event at large scale occurs is beneficial for a country. Yes India can host such a mega event like Olympics as India is having the required funds as we have seen many other events which required such a large scale of money for events to be successful is there. Despite these facts corruption is the main hindrance which may prevent such a large scale event, if its overcome it would definitely lead to a huge success of such event and would help economy grow in future.

Hello, friends.
I would start with nothing can be achieved without first dreaming about it. So we can and we should dream about hosting Olympics.
When we hosted Commonwealth Games in 2010 the performance of Indian players was very good. The Number of medals was unprecedented.
It motivates people.
It brings sports culture.
We all can agree the sports infrastructure is very needed as we can see out recent performance in Olympics.
The hosting would be a great boost to infrastructure. And participation would definitely improve.
Plus one point we are not considering is that it brings huge employment to people where sports are hosted. Tourism is improved. These two are very crucial to the current economy of India.
Yes, we believe that there are some issues like the lack of funds as some of my friends have mentioned but the benefits are high as well. We can afford one-time payment and this would contribute to revenues as well in long run.

I think, India have to focus more on their athlete and provide them a better training and infrastructure so that they can perform better in Olympics. As we can see from the last Olympics happened in Rio our player did not perform well. The reason is not that our player doesn't have talent but the reason is that we don't have the proper infrastructure for them and somehow our parent's mindset is that if a child is playing this kind of game he is ruining his career. So firstly we have to change the mindset of the society that every individual is having a different talent and he can do better in his life if he gets a chance to do what he like to do. We have a lot of talented people in rural areas as well but they can't get a better infra to practice and showcase their talent.
So firstly we have to focus in our athlete and once they get a better infrastructure and training, India is ready to host the Olympics as well.

Taking a view on present situation India is not in a position to host the Olympic
few reasons are:
1) The basic and major problem for India is corruption,as it was in CommonWealth games.
it is very difficult to track corruption in Olymic scenario because the chain will be large.
2) India doesn't have a proper infrastructure to host the game, India is unable to provide its athletes with proper facilities, how will it provide facilities to athletes of about 205 countries participating in Olympic.
-> Moreover, you require more hotels for the migrating tourist guest.
-> Whole scenario of the city has to change.
3)Traffic management of Indian cities in normal working days, you know that very well we often stuck on traffic anytime anywhere. it can't be managed during the Olympic festival.
4)Security from Terrorist.
I also want our country to host OLYMPIC but the above reason act as real hurdle for our country.
