Guys I would like to know why India has been so poor at sports in general? Is there something that can be done in India, with 1.2 billion people I am sure there are thousands of talented kids in almost every sport, who with the right infrastructure, coaching and financial assistance India could be a top 1 - 4 nations in the world.
I mean if you look at Australia alone they have won more medals at Olympics, World Championships, etc than India and I am talking about in history. Is this not a source of embarrassment to India that you guys don;t even compete in sports other than cricket?
I thought your hockey team was good, but they are a disgrace finishing 12th at the Olympics, what can be done in India in your opinions? Or what needs to change? In Australia for example, kids from a young age are encouraged to try every sport and they are encouraged to enjoy it, Australians are good at almost every sport they put their mind to.
Why can't this happen in India as well? Is it because Indians only think that cricket is a sport? The funny thing is that even at cricket Indians as a team haven't been very good over the history of cricket.
