India is trying to ape China. However the Commonwealth games are regional games like Jeux de La Francophonie which includes only French speaking countries. Commonwealth games are not equivalent to neither the Olympics nor the World Soccer organized by South Africa. According to Sepp Blatteer India could not even organized a regional football competition like the under 20 football tournament. India is 20 years behind China in infrastructure and industrial capacity. India is a dream country living under the mirage of Bollywood films. Even the 2012 London Olympics would not match the Beijing Olympic games. All stadiums that India is building for the Commonwealth, China is building them freely or at concessional rates in Africa. All stadiums built in the last African nation football tournament had been built by China.
Could India counstruct the state of the Art Olympic Swimming Pool like the Beijing Swimming Cube or the Bird nest Olympic stadium? Could India top the medal table just like China did in the Olympic games? Could India have a open and closing ceremony like the Beiging games? The only strong nation present in Commonwealth games is Australia the others are puppet nations like England, Wales etc. The US, Germany, China, Russia and France that is the top sports nations are not even present. India could not make it in the top three Asian nations in the last Asian Games. India would not be able to organize neither the Olympic nor the World Expo in the coming 50 years even with the assistance of the US and the Sionists. (India wants to mull China in every thing but it cannot do it alone and just have to ask assistanc from its new ally the US) Stop dreaming and orgainize an Olympic games in a Bollywood film where every thing is fake. The Hotel accommodation Pictures posted here are taken from foreign 5 star hotel and not the real Commonwealth accommodation. Does the author of this thread had participated in the Beijing Olympic Games? According to all international athletes theBeiging games had been the best organized just like the World Shanghai Expo! Stop dreaming India could not be a superpower unless it stop buying Arms of Mass Destruction from the Sionist and invest in infrastructure and industry and only if if the Slumdogs start to work harder!
