Ofcourse, 1.21 billion people of India have an obession towards the cricket and this has led to the detrimention of other sports in india.all are interested in cricket only.In recent cricket world cup match the viewership was 100%, while in commonwealth games it was only 30%. this alone shows the pathetic situation of other sports in India.

I think in cricket fan following is so much than other sports. If media and government both encourage other games and give more facilities then people obviously think about those sports. Now-a-days these IPL, t-20 attract everyone. They know that from these they will get more money and fame. That's why people interested about cricket.

Hello, friends Good morning to all.
As per my opinion, there are different types of game and accordingly the preference of game totally depends on the person as per their choice it can say that People's attention is more on cricket rather than other sport but with 100 % I will not say that the Cricket as a National Obsession.

Cricket is a national obsession to other sports because cricket is deeply rooted in family heritage and also there are more role models in cricket compared to other sports. Moreover, the lack of investment in Oympic sports kills the desire in a child to take up that sport. Parents encourage cricket more than other sports.

Hi Everyone,
I feel we all are interested in cricket rather than other sports. We all known the rule of cricket, how to play. We all knows hockey is our national sports but we don't follow this game because govt, media and our neighbor environmental support cricket rather than other game. So we all follow cricket.

Yes indeed.
I completely agree with this.
I am a big fan of Indian sports & I have followed 2 commonwealth games, two Asian games & the last Olympics very closely. That is, basically I started following other sports after 2009 when I joined the internet because Indian television has only one sport!

You can not think two different thing at a same time. People in India loves cricket. So they will watch cricket. Thus cricket will be commercialised and leave other sports behind. But if Someone is passionate to other sports there are huge scope for them like olympics and commonwealth games, etc. That's all.

After India wining1983 worldcup more audience were attracted towards crickets, from these on cricket become popular sport in India. If other sportsman would have won more international titles in games such as football, tennis and other, those sports would have been popular in India.

Cricket is religion in India. Money glamour and then wide coverage by media make it more attractive and lucrative. Introduction of t20 matches also increased interest in this game. It is not detrimental to other sports instead other sports should be given proper coverage and fund.

Hi.
I would say that the fame to the game cricket has made a bad impact on other sports. Too much attention and money is spent on this sport that the players engage in spot fixing. If too much attention was given to the sport then such embarrassing things wouldn't have happened.
