State of Indian Sports

Why is that Indians do so poorly in sports? Very few Indians ever make it to the top at international levels.

Chime in with your views...

Is it lack of infrstructure?

India have scrapped a training camp for this month’s Thomas and Uber Cup qualifiers because of a lack of shuttlecocks, badminton officials said on Thursday.

The federation sent home over 30 players due to start training on Thursday, blaming the state-run Sports Authority of India (SAI) for not supplying the stock or allowing them to import.

Is it lack of support for anything other than Cricket? More focus on studies? The age old saying padhogey lekogey banoge nawab....

Is it lack of competitive instinct and confrontation that deprives Indians of necessary fighting spirit to reach the ultimate top levels or competition?

Or is it something else????

I personally feel that it is a combination of all of the above. But mostly, the lack of support.
