I think lack of coaching centres in india is the main reason for this.because many poor children are really good and talented in sports but due to poor coaching they could not showcase their talents at the higher levels and shine.so government should take necessary steps to overcome this.By providing good coaching centres with well trained coachers will definitely improve the talent and skills of poor children who are willing to come up in sports.

Yes this is important topic to be discussed .We have many talented people in all fields.But the problem lies in the fact that importance is given to one sport mainly cricket.Of course we should encourage cricket but at the same time we should give equal importance to other sports also.We cant forget or neglect our national game 'Hockey' .Its sad that almost all from young generation prefer cricket first than others.Young generation should know more about all the games other than cricket in India.

Even medias are giving importance to certain games only.They should also treat all games as equal for the growth of other sports in our country.Young generation always find a glamorous world in many sports.So all medias should equally popularize all sports here in our country.

Another point is lack of infrastructure provided to other games.Financial support for other sports is less when compared to others.This also include lack of coaching centers and good trainers for other sports.Even the sponsorship given to other games is less when compared to cricket.

Most of the young talented guys in other sports are from financially poor background.they are not able to go forward due to this.Fair financial support should be given by the government to overcome the problems faced by them and to go ahead.
In context of commonwealth games which took place recently its clear that there should be good governing board to promote each and every sport ,or otherwise this will all end up in political game,thus badly affecting growth of sports

people does not have passion and craze for other sports as they have cricket.The reason is ,other games are not well promoted in school and collages properly.As result a few people gets success and that too bronze.
The other reason is that we could not produce success in other games so they automatically not admired.

In my opinion we are the nation of the billion but at the time to get the medals we are fail behind this their are several reasons to led down the growing players. Mostly when a good players want to become international player in their sports he does not have enough capital to buy a expensive tools because most of the sports tools are to expensive they can't afford these tools.

The another reason is that most of the parents in India want their child become become engineer, docter, lawyer etc. They treated sports as a hobby not as a carrier. They think that their child want to go to spoil her/him future in sports then they do not allow to play any sports yo their child.

But when we talk about the other nation which have a population half of less then the India. They doing well in sports because in that nation sports is treated carrier and the players are indulged in their sports from the childhood that why they are getting medals and that makes a large differance.

In this materialistic world everyone thinks about money and they want to invest or want to sponsor only those sports and game which in return give them a huge profit.These people doesn't understand the spirit of the game and feelings of the players and society that's why the real talents are not discovered from this huge populated country and those players can't perform well in the international games........

One of the nice topic, it must be discussed in every field. Our country has large population and so many talented persons are there. But one thing is that every parents give much attention to their children's study but noone can give scope to their children for sports. If govt give some special attention to sports from primary label then parent and media all give attention towards the sports.

India is next to china in population. Even small countries are able bag the medals, its quite embarazzing when India bagged only one bronze medal. Whose mistake?its the selection committe?, or pollitics? or lack of talent in india, I feel it a pity to tell its only our dirty politics. Even though so many resources are present the respective ministers are not able to regulate them in a proper way.

What I believe is that at present there are many talents in India but they are not able to participate at the international level just because of financial conditions. It was in the past that parents did not allow their children to participate in sports and aim it as his/her carrier. Today even parents are encouraging their children to participate in sports and other extra curricular activities along with studies. It is just because of money they are not able to disclose their talent I n front of the world. Even though India is a developing country and there are many millionares or billionares like Mittal, Ambani, Tata, Birla, etc. Still the poor are poorer. So, the talent cannot come forward. Thus, the requirement is that all the Indians should get united and try to encourage talent and help those talents who have financial problems so that India can also compete with the rest of the world and be in the top position.

Its very shameful to say that India won just a single medal. There is not a lack of talent in India. As we can see in cricket so much talented players are there (sachin tendulkar, rahul dravid, m. S dhoni. ) why?resion is facilities provided to them!

As in olympics abhinav bindra won a gold medal by getting a good training from his coach. He is a rich person but not every talent of India is rich. I think that is the resion of india's pitty position in olyampics.

I also believe that this is an important area to be discussed. Prima-facie I also thought that the reason why India is not being good at Olympics is because of the fact that Indian talent is unable to find the right place, right infrastructure, right mentor who can provide right direction. But when I gave a second thought, I found that the resources are available in abundance, the problem is with the utilization of these resources. If we say that finance is a major hurdle then it would be wrong to say so. The reason being the today India has a great Tax Collections, it has huge forex reserves and many more. But the problem is with our political system in which corruption has got its deep roots.

At once I thought why this corruption has got such a place in our country, society or even in our lives. After analyzing for long I found that it has got such place because its the way one could get MONEY in a quick time. But then the question comes why do we need this quick money. The reason could be COMPARISON.

We always get into an unwanted race of proving ourself better or superior than others. And when we find that we are behind, we start taking shortcuts to succeed. And slowly, this leads to a path which at a later stage is known as CORRUPTION.

So to end up this, I can say first we should change ourselves and rest will be done by our acts.
