The topic very well portrays the scenario of sports in India. Except for cricket, sports is not encouraged enough as a career in India. This is mainly due to the lack of support.

Hi,
According to my opinion.

Firstly, due to lack of role models in our country to encourage different sports is the biggest reason of lagging behind in sports. Up to certain effect media is also responsible for this because they give hike only to the cricketers and have made cricket religion of this billion nation.

Secondly, no encouragement in the form of money, award, infrastructure etc. From the government.

Thirdly, lessons praising academics and against sports are also one of the reasons.

My point of view on this topic is due to lack of encouragement from the government India is not performing well in world stage. Government don't encourage sports in our country. Due to corruption and corrupted people in government sports is taking a back seat in India. And one more important thing in our country is that parents don't encourage sports in our country. They think academics is more important than sports. Parents think that sports don't fetch children luxurious life so they don't encourage their children to indulge in sports. And more important thing is that there is nepotism in government sports bodies so their favor their relatives than deserved people.

I think if Indian government abet sports people with enough equipment and encourage them with good environment then only India will be performing better in world stage.

One of the reason for this that administration which handles all the activities for the players is itself corrupt. Many players didn't get the proper sports equipment for their training which affects their performance. Proper arrangements are also not made for them. Other problems are that many players start using drugs for their better performance which adversely affect their health.

Six Billion and One Bronze! This condition of India can be solved by Giving importance to Sports equal to Academics. Importance for Studies in India is so Badly rooted that Sports are considered as waste of Time by Parents. This attitude of parents is again because of lesser Opportunities for Sports and dilemma that their Children may not be able to procure Success and Luxury which they think can be easily obtained being Engineer or an MBA graduate.

Such posts really addresses the problems of Middle class People of Indians which is a Major class.

So if Education system is reviewed with compulsory SPORTS Just like Academics, Eligibility should be assigned for sports to enter the next level of Degree/Standard from the SCHOOL LEVEL, with standardized Amenities Provided in Educational Institutions (only then they should be licensed).

Then Efficient and talented SPORTSMAN shall be produced under the Right guidance from Childhood. When such a SPORTSMEN addresses the Nation apparently He will gain GOLD not just BRONZE. And the Opportunities increases as a result.

This impacts the future generation to get motivated and hence the PERCEPTION TOWARDS IMPORTANCE OF SPORTS changes radically.

My point of view on this topic is:

We people are only responsible for this situation of India because we choose our leader not in correct way. We leave our work giving just only single vote. A single only participate in voting. Not fight for you. So first correct our government then we could think our position in world. Either in sector it might be sport, corruption.

According to me everyone has to think that this is our country, we have to bring bride to our country. Then only 1 bronze can convert into many bronze and nobody can stop us.

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.

"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 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.
