If at all if there are was a sports like corruption or how to excel in politics India would have bagged the maximum gold. The politicians do not encourage or care for for sports. Proper infrastructure is not provide and the Sports Authority do not have people who have any background in sports. Everyone sits at the top for money.

Foreign coaches and also proper training is not provided at the highest level except for cricket. Of late a foreign coach has been provided in hockey and it is providing results. This itself is a lesson to be learnt by our authorities at the highest level. There is no lack of talent in a country like country like India there is a huge population of six billion people. If India is excelling in cricket then that person is applauded. I do not why foreign coaches are not provided in other sports and foreign physios.

Six billion but one bronze. All due to us. We are responsible for that. Not only us INDIAN GOVERNMENT also. Parent always concentrate their child in studies. They didn't encourage their child to participate in sport. Off-course some of the parent will encourage their child to participate in sport. And they playing for INDIA.

We have to take our own interest to participate in sports up to that you can blame others. Sitting at home and critizing is very easy one unless we play there.

Government is also major fact for this. They are not giving fair amount of salary for those who plays for India or for their particular state. They didn't coach their players well. No need of foreign coaches required. Indian coaches are well enough to train.

Government should support them. Bichung bhutia (former Indian football captain) said "India in football world-cup may happens after 800 years from here". There are lot of young talent in India. The Government and their parent should encourage them.

In china, America& Australia etc there are separate schools for gymnastics, swimming and some other sports events. They practice throughout the day (24*7). So they bags lots of medal in Olympics. Indians too had lots of talent. And they will do it for India.

As we have all ready seen most of the topic have been covered by my friends, but there is one important thing that has not discussed is media coverage. We usually see media does not give much attention to other sports comparatively cricket. So media has very important role in promoting other sports. Its all because of media vijender singh, abhinav bindra, etc they came in lime light. They inspire people to join particular sport.

India leads in population but is in bottom of medal tally. Who is responsible for this? we people only, we talk about India's poor show in olympics but how much we encourage it. We even don't know about much games other than cricket. In our country sports is not given equal respect as studies. From beginning our parents, school doesnt give much emphasis on sports as to studies.

From my thinking, In India their is a more corruption and this is because of politicians. India has a more talented persons but few come in picture because of lack of encouragement which is necessary for every persons. By the encouragement normal persons can be switched into the talented persons by practicing. But India does not have that environment. Mostly Indian parents desires for their child to be a doctor, engineer not anything else. And during the olympics 2012 their was a few sportsmans achived a bronze medal and not one got a gold medal. This is totally because of lack of encouragement. India government have also selected a persons which is from their kins. So, this is also the cause of lower talented persons. Besides, Indian government should make authority to Respective Indian Sports players to select a person for the respective sports. And there should be a lot of provisions for the player which would encourage to everyone participate in their respective games. And India which we forgotten many games, this would create a interest in every sportsmen and our youth revived their talents.

According to me, we are the one who should go and approach to government about our needs. It s not at all government's mistake. What we really want in our life definitely we will be receiving it. As it says " where there is a WILL there is a WAY". Think yourself in that "ONE BRONZE" place and you are almost there. If people start thinking in this way I believe that there will be more number of BRONZE, and even GOLD.

After reading the entire discussion all I could learn was many are pointing out the politicians and rest other are talking about the fault in the system, while there is another group who is talking about the game cricket. Here I just want to ask everybody one question, How many of us go out during elections and vote? How do you cast your vote by looking the face of the minister or by looking the work he/she has done? Why everybody is just talking about the cricket game and not about others?

Our ministers are the person whom we choose and its all our fault that Indian political system is full of corrupts and wrong politicians, take an example of country like USA people choose that person to lead them who thinks about the public first and then about himself but here in India the votes are caste on the basis of payment. During recent elections my driver told that he voted for XYZ party cause they were giving everybody who is voting Rs. 500/-, its not his fault here also the fault is ours only cause all the literate people are busy sitting in their ac villa and bungalows and enjoying the money where as the illiterate and poor people are going out and casting their votes.

Coming to games why curse cricket everybody celebrates when India wins a match but nobody even remember the name of a single hockey player, not to forget that hockey is our national game, when we only won't show any interest in games politicians will also play towards cricket cause they know people will see cricket match and they will gain popularity by going and looking into matters of that particular game, and popularity will give them votes.

Returning back to the topic six billion and one bronze means the talent which is present in our country of six billion its just that one person is having the talent to come up and fight for the country India is a leading giant in the software, companies are coming from abroad and taking the talent why that is not utilized in India, India is a land of opportunity and filled with talented people its just that talent is to be nurtured and focused then only India will transform from developing country to developed country and all this can be done only when we have this courage to stand up for ourselves or have this courage to elect the correct person. Think what we are doing and then and only then we will be six billion gold and one.

Six billion and one bronze. Yes India is a huge populated country. We have talked about everyone, their mistakes, our mistakes. But why don't we focus on the solution for this major problem where though India is blessed with talented personalities yet is not able to transform itself into developed country. India is having many big bollywood stars, many entrepreneurs, many NGOs are also into an act. They can contribute for the society. They can encourage people to come forward and do something for their country. As a citizen we also have responsibilities.

For the future we are going to become parents of a child. Here its our chance to vow for the betterment of this country. After all its we and our family who is going to reside in this country. We should understand that Indians have such capability that can help them to conquer the world even. Today USA seeks employees from our country INDIA. If we take a pledge that our talent and our skills will be used only for our people then no one can stop to call India as DEVELOPED COUNTRY. As per my view if 6 billion converts to 6 bronze then who will dare to think of attacking on us or competing with us.

"6 billions and 1 bronze" It means that after doing really hard one is getting only few. This topic is not only about our sports but it is about our whole life. As we can see that our country is still developing why is it so.

If we talk about the games and athletics It is not because that we don't have the talent and we are not hard working, It's because we are not given the proper training. From proper training I mean to say that mostly foreigner trainers are present in games and athletics. This causes a selfishness that "why should I train to the Indian team let my country win". So with this thinking in mind these trainers or coaches do not give the proper training to Indian people.

Talking about the developement of our country we are still following the US. , China, Why? because our country is filled with corruption, Big-small, Rich-poor which creates selfishness among people of India. That is why nobody wants that other person gets success. This causes after trying very very hard people get only few.

So to have a developed country we should not be selfish only then we'll get more after doing hard work.

Six billions and one bronze, has to be, in a country with world's second largest population, talent is obviously not missing! what is missing is the proper scrutiny. Our country needs a proper functioning and autonomous body for all kind of sports other than cricket. Cricket should be given less prominence. Every sport should given proper attention, it's high time that the cricket fever was down. How many of us were actually watching the Olympics and CWG? and to add to it, we had this CAG scam in which number of politicians were charged. Our country has a lot of money and scopes as well, but nepotism and corruption are not allowing them to be properly streamlined. The only solutions out are a proper independent committee and more commitment towards sports.
