Hello everyone,

As we all know India is a developing country. And yes dreaming of hosting the Olympics is not a problem at all. With such a vast population, the youth of our country calls to be motivated. Our country has been a talent hub already, as we all have been hearing stories of Mr. Sachin Tendulkar, Marry Kom, Sindhu & many more to come. It's government's very responsibility to make this dream into reality. A dream is made into reality by working towards it. After demonetization our country has been not stable economically, so improving that should be the first target. We need to undertake infrastructure to host such a huge event. Corruption needs to be controlled. Last and not least hospitality. Our country is recognized when it comes to tourism & we should maintain it by giving a respectful hospitality to our guests. So Yes, it can be achieved.

Hello everyone.

Dreaming of great things nothing wrong, but to convert dream into the reality, we have to be strong in many things as technically, financially, security etc. As topic concern, India is hub of the youth talent in many sectors one of is sports, so hosting Olympic in India encourage the Indian youth towards sports and opportunity to show their talent. So to host Olympic in India we have to invest more in infrastructure and provide security, and should be corrupt free.

Hence, yes it is possible to host Olympic in India.

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.

Regarding the questions that can India dream of hosting the Olympics my answer will be a big Yes. As we know that India is the fastest growing major economy in the world So India has all the potential to host the Olympics in future. We know that India is a developing country but it can take an example of china which successfully hosted the Olympics in 2008 despite being a developing country.

But Major obstacles in this thing is the lack of proper sports facilities and infrastructure.

India is lagging behind in the performance in Olympics because it spends very less amount of its GDP for the National athletics. The main thing India needs to do is to build the sports infrastructure and provide the world-class training and equipment to their national athletes, So for dreaming of hosting the Olympics India have to focus on both the factors.

Yes, we can host Olympics. Because after the bidding process a city gets almost 7 years of time to prepare.

And upgrade its infrastructure. We did arrange the commonwealth games in 2010 successfully.

Hosting Olympics will be highly beneficial for our neglected athletics, and other sports. Many new players.

Will emerge and perform well in the world stage.

Olympics will boost our tourism sector and overall infrastructure of our country.

But from economics perspective should we arrange Olympics?

The answer is NO. Because if we look in history every country that hosted the Olympics before experienced.

Economic slowdown. Arranging Olympics is very costly affair. For example in 2008 Beijing China spent.

40 billion $, in 2016 Rio the cost was almost 20 billion $. And we all know 2004 Athens Olympics they.

Spent 15 billion $ that lead to the current Greek economics crisis.

Yes.

We should not even dream it we are capable enough to host such a big event in our country because we are fastest growing economy in the world if our neighbouring country like china had successfully organised such an event then why we can't. We have sports reach culture with a large number of the youth population. We have great infrastructure, securities, equipment. For example, we successfully organised commonwealth.

Games, cricket world cup, hockey world, kabaddi league, football league in past and much more to come so why dream it we are capable enough.

Although our track records in Olympics have been very poor, we must strive for good performance in upcoming Olympics and it should be dream of every Indian to host Olympics. Let's not forget our record of 8 gold medal in Hockey. We need to reorganize our sports culture and promote quality players without nepotism. At the same time, our government needs to make adequate funds available for training and make sure proper use of that fund. We don't lack potential for good performance but we need to pick right players and provide them modern training that will reflect in their performance. At last, I conclude it should be our target to host Olympics and make our place in top 10 countries.

My answer to this question will be a big no.

Although India is capable of organizing, but it will require a huge amount which India can't afford at this point of time.

India lacks stability economically and politically both. We all are familiar with the scam that occurred in 2010 Commonwealth Games. India is a developing country. Instead of spending a huge amount on Olympics, Indian government can use the funds for benefits of our farmers and the citizens of India. Olympics will lead India towards economy slowdown which will lead towards economic crisis. So its better to backout from organising Olympics.

Good morning everyone.

Yes, we can dream of hosting the Olympics in our country, but we have to look after the infrastructures, security and hospitality, if we can organise events like IPL the Olympic can too be organised, but the difference is that IPL is conducted by the rich people but Olympic by government so government should be corrupt free to organise it in a much better way.

We can think of hosting the Olympics. After each and every common man feels happy if they get a proper basic infrastructure. Because in our country, there are millions of people living in below poverty line, millions of youth are facing job problems, the number of farmers are going for suicide due to lack of support from govt etc. So, I finally suggest that investing a money for Olymics for one month, we can invest that same money in providing basic infrastructure so that we can save and see the number of peoples living happy.
