Yes definitely we can, We just need to work on our infrastructural development for providing a proper environment for such a big event. Our country has resources and supplies that it needs to held such sporting events. We have successfully hosted cricket world cup, many a times, currently we are going to host junior FIFA world cup as well. Scams and scandals do take place but it nowhere means that we are not capable of hosting Olympics. Commwealt games, even after such scams and scandals, was a great success. Moreover, India is a country of Diversity there are lots of things that it can show to the world. Moreover, we don't even need infrastructural development of the whole nation. Some rapid development and changes in few developed cities and still satisfy the job, as it happened with Rio Olympics. Whole Brazil was not developed to host the Olympics only Rio was developed and the ultimate parameters for Olympics.

We can dream anything, but every dream can't become true. In reality, India should not host Olympics until it becomes developed in an economy, infrastructure, sports culture, security and until it can reduce corruption that may occur in organising. In the present scenario, we notice that the different budgets like health, railways etc is not sufficient enough to improve the standard of infrastructure and lifestyle of Indians. For eg- the government is failing to cater all the needs of a farmer, then how can India host Olympics? Moreover, only a few sports are encouraged by the government and also enjoyed by the people. So, first many players are to be developed in different kinds of sports. So, if India wants to host the Olympics, then the government should work towards improving the economy, sports culture, security, corruption reduction. If it becomes successful in these aspects, then India can host Olympics.

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!
Thank you!

Hello friends, it is true that we can host the Olympics.
But there are some concerns regarding the decisions taken in favour of hosting the Olympics:
1. It is true that India has a good talent in the Olympics, but compared to most of the developed nations, we rank very badly when it comes to the Olympics.
2. The cost of building the infrastructure required to host the Olympics is too much and might lead to bankruptcy like in Greece.
3. If the footfall of the tourists is very low, we will have to depend on the Indian population to fill the seats of the stadium.
4. There can be chances of dangerous attacks on civilians by external/internal forces for which we will have to spend more on security.
5. Hosting the Olympics in a city increases the cost of booking a room in a city, which is a problem for those who need to visit that place during an emergency as the cost of the room will be very high.
Thank you.

Hi, everyone. Well, I think India is not in position right now and for several years in future for hosting the great sports event Olympics. The very first reason is the current situation of India i.e. demonitization it will take the country at least a year for maintaining economic stability.
Apart from this if we think practically hosting Olympics is not easy since there are lot of games in Olympics in which thousand of candidates compete against each other representing their nation. Olympics consists of different games which some Indians have not even heard of. India only participates in some handful games out of hundreds of different types of games, So it's not wise for the country to host it, Since we will not be able to afford as well as won't be able to maintain the required infrastructure. Eventually, this will globally affect both the country as well as the participants from various nations.

Hellow everyone.
Our country is a developing country. From last few years, our country took various measure steps like demonetization, digitalization and so on. These things improve our country condition but still, we need some more time to host the Olympics. Of course, we can dream of hosting the Olympics, a dream with open eyes that will surely come true. We have also organized CWG. Organizing such international level programs increases our value globally, attracts tourists towards our country and of course, the Indians who take participate in such games will feel more motivated when we host the program. Presently we are developing and we need at least 6-7 years to host such a big event. We need a proper management corruption less team for hosting any event successfully and our govt is taking major steps to overcome the problems like corruption and making our country fit for hosting the Olympics.

India ranks 2nd in terms of population after China who was the winner of last Olympics. But India's performance in Olympics is not good. In 2016, Rio Olympics India won only two medals. In India, parents think that if their child develops his career in sports than their lives become a ruin. They will not be able to succeed in their life. First society has to change their opinion. Second thing is that government have to increase the budget of sports. Cricket is very popular in India. Cricket board of India (bccci) is the richest board of world. But other sports are in a very bad condition like -swimming, shooting, running, long jump etc. The Third barrier is corruption in 2010 India hosted Commonwealth games in which approxmatily 65000crore scam is taken place. If corruption is removed from games and thinking of society is changed about sports. Then definitely we can host olympics. I am a beginner.

Olympic is a well known sport championship which inducts players from different countries to compete for their nation in various games. If any country hosts the games they have to make good arrangements for the events as it is related to the country's image which has huge expenses. So, for the country like India which is lacking in infrastructure, per capita income and huge population spending the budget instead to host the games is not a good idea yet. Farmers are commiting suicide for their loans, different GOI schemes are not in way of fulfilling their commitments and also the natural misshappening causes a lot of loss throughout the nation.
On the positive note if any any time in future if India is able to host the games it is good for the interchanging of the world culture, their will be surely good attraction of people towards the games and hence there will be rise in the sports industry.

We are feeling proud as India's become my fifth largest economy now India's population is the world's highest but the world's biggest economy is the US we live in a country where 30% of the population lives below the poverty line and we are spending money on the hosting of Olympic games we must we must prioritise the well being of those currently suffering from poverty in India. Daily many people die from hunger in India also there is a lack of facilities in the rural areas in the healthcare education sector so we must improve the conditions.
Definitely, we are the fastest growing economy but are per capita income is still very low we have a huge mighty population of 1.4 billion people but we have having economy of only four trillion dollars the USA has a population of only 35 million has an economy of 25 trillion dollar isn't it a same on our country that we are spending money on Olympics.

Yes, we can also dream of hosting the Olympics. India is developing country we all know that Indian economy is a great impact on world financial system.
But when we talk about such as hosting a big event like Olympics, FIFA, first of all, we have to make our country corruption free as well as infrastructure strong.
Hosting Olympics is not a child game, it is a big platform where you have a chance to show your power and dignity.
We are not wining too many medals in the game even though our players are very talented.
Rather than hosting the Olympics, we have to focus on winning medals. Players have to get their world-class equipment and facilities.
We have hosted common wealth game.
Yes, I agree with rashtmandal game produces so many things that should not be happened.
Next 15 to 20 years after we may have a chance to host Olympics and like common wealth game we also win so many medals.
