India is not performing well at Sports, this is the buzz we have always been hearing and complaining about. I strongly agree with the views of - Diptosh Majumdar, CNN-IBN and his blog "Sports culture lacking in India" http://ibnlive.in.com/news/sports-culture-lacking-in-india/27709-5.html
Our national game is Hockey, but do you really think we deserve to call it our national game? All most every second Indian is crazier about Cricket than our nation pride- Hockey. Ever thought, why our nation is degrading day by day when it comes to Sports? Is Cricket the only game played worldwide, thus are list stops right there? Obviously the answer is 'NO'. Then why do we see such a laid back attitude of Indians towards Sports, it is something to be questioned, not just to our government but to ourselves too.
The performance of India at the Common Wealth Games was remarkable, but that could have been better. We all are aware of the draw backs of the games and the preparation. It wasn't just the preparations of the venue that was carelessly handled, but even the preparations and the facilities given to the sports-persons were not up to the mark. We would have been more proud of India if it had performed in the similar manner at ASIAD GAMES too. India won a total of 101 medals at CWG and only 64 medals at ASIAD. Though the performance has been improved over the years, but we expect more from our nation.
We are looking forward for the day when Indians would be equally excited to the watch other games too, apart from Cricket and Football.
