Six Billion and One Bronze!

This itself shows that are "system is just not happening"! if you see the olympics medals tally India is way way behind. Other sports apart from just cricket should be taken seriously. Hockey for instance is our national game. Don't you think it should be changed to cricket rather. Why is that only when somebody bags a medal that then he/she is highlighted? abhinav bindra was showered with money after his victory at the olymics. But he is already such a rich guy, why spend so much on him?ther are so many poor athletes who need sponsors. Do they ever get it?the government should really concentrate on the struggling athletes, they should be given proper ground to nurture there talents. Proper coaching should be provided. If this done properly there may be a day soon we see India rising up at the medals tally.

Hi to all, and i'm happy to discuss on this topic.
First of all i want to say don't blame our country and our politics.
because we are the people who elects our politicians,the first mistake is with in us.
and second thing is that
do we really encourage olympic's?
No,
HOW MANY OF U SAW THE BEIJING OLYMPICS AND THE CRICKET WORLD CUP 2011 ???
the answer is in your silence.

and coming to our government ANNOUNCES 1 CRORE FOR YUVARAJ SINGH FOR HITTING 6 SIXES.
Till now any government of india announces single np for any hockey player and its our national game..
it is very sad to say our hockey players get RS/2100 per match and our cricket player will get 2 lacks per match.
Unless we don't have certain encouragement WE WONT ABLE GET SUCCESS IN LIFE.

The politicians and the sports policies of India are the root cause of this. Some days back, there was a meeting at Indian olympic association to discuss the preparations of the upcoming olympics. The meeting was conducted for full 6 hours and only one sentence to the meeting agenda was said by an officer. "hum achha perform karenge". The whole meeting was full of politics and everyone there was more interested in retaining their posts. This is just a small example. This careless attitude towards olympics is the root cause of our humiliation there. Besides this, there are not state-of-art training facilities.

I can surely say, that cricket is not the main reason for not getting good players on other games, there are still many talented youth bloods are there to make our country proud in sports, the only thing is. How much people are supporting and encouraging that particular game, and if likely politicians donate something to the athletes and other sports persons. Surely this can change.

As an Indian we should first draw a thick line between politics, money and sports. To bring every thing on right track, politics, money use and sports should be very transparent. Until these three things are not transparent and free from money flood, we should be ready to accept such result.

Let me now discuss these three majors are getting mixed with each other and how can we avoid it into three points :

1. Politics : There isn't any thing left like patriotism in politician now. Money is all which is driving all our politicians (vote for money is recent major scam). There is huge influence of politics in sports too, due to which our true sportsmen are missing. Politician plan well not to promote good talented, but their own kins. Also, sports management and conduction has merely became a another way of filling pocket in quick time (CWG the recent scam). Now the question is how can we over come from this curse.. Answer is establishment of transparent policies, and selection of sportsmen should be through that channel only (example : there should be an independent body which should select and promote deserved sportsmen like Election Commission where govt. can't do anything)

2. Money : Money should be used in its best possible way. Money earned from Cricket must also be shared with other sports in creation of other sports infrastructure, payments for sportsmen. We know that India has most revenue from Cricket, but money earned from it should be shared in other sports. We have to think in all directions in all sports bodies.

3. Sports : We as Indian should think in giving respect and support for other sports also, so that our players in other sports get encouragement. Also, we should change our angle of thinking towards hard work. To defend this hard work point i would like to ask a question, why indian batting is far better (one of the best in world) than indian bowling? Answer is : we don't want to do hard work. Right from childhood we appraise a player who hits a six, but give very less appraise ( or I can say nil) to a bowler who has sweat a lot to take a precious wicket. So, in India every wants to become batsmen but nobody wants to become bowler. We want everything without doing much effort.

To summarize my view all I can say is until unless we bring a lot of changes in view and approach we are not going to get anything except this result of one bronze being world's second largest in population.

Ya I accept of all your points, in reasoning in Punjab our favourite cricket player Yuvaraj sing was affected by a cancer is all we know, the Punjab government give the money for is treatment, but the same Punjab girl (athletic) affected by cancer, who's for is play for is state and our national the government thus not give any congestion or money to the girl for treatment. Hear we note one point the person who know the situation only to solve the problem, the politicians thus not know the games, but our Indian players are how to find the good and well players for games, so the the sports committee are organised by only the good players in all sports and that committee thus not under any government. That only we make shine in our sports, and also our encourage is also important.

I think We should not blame government, its one's individual effort. Problem arises in our family. All parents want to make their child an engineering, doctor not a sportsman and this discouragement from their own family not let the talented child or sportsman to achieve their goal and win hundreds of medal.

Encouragement and support from family as well as others are also important to motivate the talented person.

Sometimes due to financial problem also the poor children cannot able to reach and participate the national level competition even they are talented, so here Government has to provide some facilities and infrastructure for the poor people.

First of all I would like to say please don't blame politician. It is our fault. Why we voted them. The second thing is please stop blaming others for wrong reasons. If you have the will power you will get what you want. And the third thing if we want to change the system then we have to change ourselves first. We should promote our child whatever they want to do. Don't force them and don't discourage them. Encourage them in their likes.

A very good topic we must analyze. India have a large pool of talented players in all forms of sports but why India is last at Olympic medals tally is a big question that is run in our mind. It is because of Indian politics plays a vital role. No proper coaching for good players and not proper encouragement to all our athletes. This is major reason that affecting our Indian sports. Our sport policies taken by govt must be change this will help us to improve our sports condition well.

All which we thing will not happen. All our youngester wish to be like a hero in the world like sachin tendulkar, yuvaraj singh. In our school girls are not getting their chance for any of their competitions. Live about girls, what about boys only one single team for cricket. First our government should have some knowledge in other sports our than cricket yet many of us don't know more information about cricket. Some things that when some guy spins the ball towards a guy he just swings the bat and when ball is flunged in air another guy will catch it some of them things this way. All should be changed in our country. Only one thing we can do is to pray to god that some miracle will happen in our country.
