Six Billion and One Bronze!

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.

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.

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........

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.

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.

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

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.

Why to blame politics after all they are from within us. Not from out side. One side we say politics is corrupt and keeping blaming but other side what we do to stop it. Today if we are not getting reputation in international sport world than Blind Professionalism is responsible for than not our political system.

Its really an integral topic to be discussed as we are in edge to conduct commonwealth games. We have a lot of young emerging talents. The politicians who are at the top of the sports bodies needs to be eliminated, who are not having any sporting background. The talents from poor background should be encouraged and given opportunity to represent our country. Here we are celebrating cricket which has lot of sponsors. But we fail to give importance to our national game hockey. Which polluted the India's global image during the hockey world cup.

The talent should be given preference. Rather than to any other background. If we could give importance to every sport means India will certainly add more golds to its tally. In the coming Olympics. And any other global tournaments.

I agree with Tasneem. This is the fact in India that noone wants to make his/her career in Sports except cricket because they are not earning money for them. And this is common human psychology that we don't want to do that thing in which we are not getting any results (in terms of money). So for it the Government should make the sports field remunerative. In it media should come forward to make others sports like our national game i.e., Hockey popularise between youngsters and personalities from glamour world should also come forward to encourage youth for sports as today's youth idolise them.
