Six Billion and One Bronze!

This is just like the question, " Which came first, the egg or the hen?" as we can neither blame the politicians or the sportspersons. Politicians are more concerned about their party and votes. On the other hand there are only few daring youngsters who go for sports as their careers. In India, any sports other than cricket is considered as waste of money, time and life by many of the parents. They always want their kids to become engineers and doctors. Children who are good at sports are discouraged by their parents. The worst part is, when a person faces all the ordeals and determines to come up as a sportsperson, there would be no sponsors for him at all.

Recently, a young tennis player got a chance to go abroad and play tennis but the passport authority failed to provide him with a visa.

So, we cannot blame a specific group of people for the lack of sportspersons in India. Instead we can encourage the upcoming talents and expect them to bring glory to India in various sports.

Don't blame only the politics. We are lacking of winning youth in our country. Hard Determination to excel has vanished from their mind because of Hip Hop and Western Life Style ( only followed in Dressing & odd Relationships). Rememnber Great Milkha Singh, P.T.Usha, Dhanraj Pillay who just kept working hard to make it.

We can donate to Swamis and Deras but cannot contribute for deserving sportsmen at our level where politics has nothing to do with. We also have to take the responsibilty as politicians do not increase the population at 1 child / 2 second. We have to blame ourseleves that increasing population is snatching sources and opppurtunities.

Apart from the political disturbances and other related areas the present age youth are accustomed to facilities and are lazy. They are over addicted to smart world which also plays an important role. We must also try to inculcate the habits of playing outdoor games right from the school age.

The prime reason for such a disappointing figure for medals despite having second largest population in the world is the lack of funding for sports other than cricket due to which these sports cannot avail a good quality coach and proper training. Also choosing cricket as an option is always safe and lucrative option in India.

The main problem is also that what will be their source of Bread and Butter after olympics as the tournaments for sports other than cricket are not done at regular intervals and they have to do some other part time jobs or business for their survival.

We cannot ignore our money minded government but there is one more factor taking india's sports level down and that is the internal politics taking place in the various sports departments of our country. Which includes various components like red-tapism, favouritism, biased judgements and many more. Due to which various non influential sports persons are bound to bear the results in this so called popular nation INDIA.

Hello, this is Yoganand Katuri.

Wanted to speak few words regarding the given line "SIX BILLION AND ONE BRONZE".

Firstly the population is not in a matter of this kind of information because all depends upon the enhancing of talents in national level. So the person with good practise and concentration regarding certain sport may have chance giving tough competition to opponents and win a medal. Mainly we are responsible not winning the medals because everyone is interested in engineering and medicine rather playing any game. Lack of infrastructure is also another reason for fewer participants in games. Parents should allow the students to learn some sports/games so that they know something about the game, we never expect everyone to participate in Olympics and their conducting way. Mainly every one of must supports them, encourage them rather than knowing only their results and negatives.

Thanks for reading.

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.

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.

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.

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
