why Indian youths are only interested in fashion..may be that is y today India is in 52nd place in London 2012?

Many proud Indians are happy to be proud and that is all that is left for them & nothing else.

It betrays the poverty of thinking of those who quote poverty for everything in India.

Olympics brings out the best in the character of a country. Even Bahamas & Grenada got gold medals. This lack of character leaves India far behind while all others overtook it in every field. Even in Olympics a gold medal was always reserved for India's hockey team, which in 1936 (Berlin) thrashed USA with something like 12-0. Czechoslovak airlines freely lifted the Indian team to Rome Olympics as a courtesy. It is a pity that we didn't retain that respect. While India remained where they were, the rest of the world far improved their game & skills. In the early 1970s hockey world cup it is said that the Cruize brothers who played in the Dutch team had running speed on the field, better than the Asian 100m sprint record. Top physical fitness is essential even to be considered for any world event and for which an individual should struggle hard & early. Even our bronze medallists had to go through that, just to get one medal, any medal. Saina Nehwal won her match by not defeating her opponent but tiring her out, when the opponent retired from the match conceding it to Saina. That I think is better than winning outright. It shows her physical fitness and stamina as well as the constant shadowing of her coach, Pullela Gopichand who couldn't fulfil his dream of winning an Olympic medal.

In the 'Afro-Asian' games & 'IV world military' games held at Hyderabad, considerable amount of sports infra structure was built that gave not only a sports orientaion to the Hyderabadis but the necessary international expsure. That resulted in two Hyderabadis - Gagan Narang & Saina Nehwal bringing in medals. After the loss of hockey gold, the first silver medal was won by Karanam Malleswari, the woman weight lifter in Sydney, that after a lot of hard work.

As a first step we Indians must remember sportsmen's names rather thn the politicians'. In recent article (in DC) 'Geet Sethi', who won world snooker championship for, at least half a dozen times (how many remember that, in India?) wrote about his effort, the 'India's Gold Quest'. He found that Indian records are very close to world records in several fields. What matters is, that the performance must 'peak' while doing it in the Olympic arena. Minor details have to be addressed and small improvements made. Saina has to leave Olympics village & take up a hotel room near the venue, so as to not to waste time and that was taken care of by her coach & IGQ.

Wherever the spirit is there, like Mary Kom's boxing prowess (even her parents discouraged her intitially) needs to be spotted, nurtured and we need people & organisations (& money to sponsor) to do that.

Our hockey team is an example as to how not to do things. The whole body should be superceded & the government should assume responsibility. There should not be that feudal set-up (with the manager & coach lording over) next time, if ever we qualify.

Most Indians can't swim. For a change all the water bodies even in rural areas should become venues for swimming events, while our street acrobats and contortionists be encouraged to show their skills not on the streets but in 'venues' so as to have an exposure to Gymnastics. What prevents? The feudal attitudes of all (with no exception) in the nation. Unless that changes nothing ever can be done.

I made an interesting study. Hardly anyone who is not a beef-eater (I am not one though) won any Olympic medal. In a team event like hockey only the beef-eaters were the chaps scoring goals. Now decide.

certain sir i flow with you on the point that men are literally spending a lot time infront of the pcs. that's the case contained in the cities. yet how about the human beings contained in the villages. they don't do precisely like the urbans.little ones from those section do spend a lot time in sports like swimming contained in the river, playing cricket. So we ought to flow and communicate the importance of the boom of activities in our united states. besides the actual fittness and stamina of the village human beings will be far more advantageous powerful than the urbans provided that human beings in cities devour more advantageous quick ingredients those days which degrades the well-being wheras they are those who devour a lot more advantageous vegetables, protien and diet wealthy ingredients. a useless ringer for the percentage markets, overseas money and IT industries, activities is likewise a container the position India must have a advance which will understand the end results of India contained in the nationwide progression. the purely thanks to divert the present little ones contained in the cities is the actual fittness centres it really is turning out to be a lot accepted those days between the human beings contained in the metropolitan and cosmopolitan cities because you won't be able to ask the youngsters to stop sitting infront of television ultimately.This has reached the middle and the former age human beings yet no longer a lot about the more youthful little ones. yet another idea is the authorities ought to bypass an ordinance that right here after each college and college student ought to participate in everybody sport compulsarily so as that no you'll circumvent the activities container as an finished and ultimately you'll come across the shining gem stones truly from the coolest purchase and deliver the finest for the substantial activities until eventually no politics is done between the better authorities of activities. because if someone comes with a more advantageous suggestion who does no longer has adequate expertise than the finest man or woman who has no suggestion he might want to be seleced by potential of them and could ultimately fail contained in the tournaments. So i choose india might want to shine contained in the activities and that's certainly no longer achievable until eventually there's a helping hand from the authorities. each of the finest to you on your vast pastime. JAI HIND!!!

Excuse me, but Indians are not just interested in 'fashion'. We are just people, every one likes different things. You see any field and take my word you will find at least 10 Indians who are extremely genius be it engineering, acting, sports or anything.
