yes you are true but what ever reason you give the basic reason as of me is that
traditionally we do not give importance to sport it always
comes next
but the attitude is changing and we are getting more sports
person every year
only if everybody takes sports as a serious part of our life
then we will be able to produce more gold medals for India
until that time we will have to just wonder why
but do not blame cricket it has been made big only by us

Cricket is big in india Suchin tendor use to go from one game to the next until he made a 100 runs
If your best athletic chose cricket ahead of olympic sports
India is not a very rich country but with all telmarkers that seem to be in india and other jobs they might climb up if they are paid a fair wage
Australia and other country pour heaps into elite sport to stay on top

actually india is a country where only the cricket is played. if you try to play any other game then you shall never get any support. when you go for anyother sports even the government does not support. take for example jaspal rana. the shooter who bagged three golds and a silver in the doha asian games was not given the ammunition to practice. he had to buy his ammunition on his own what is the use of such government where no other game is supported. whereas in other countries when you play any other sports you are encouraged that is the reason that always india loses and just has one medal in the olympics. if india wants to win other medals at olympics he will have to support for the other games. not only that the players will also have to understand their sole. another example when sachin tendulkar roams in a ferrari, the famous hockey player dhanraj pillai roams in a secondhand maruti 800. better conditions are required for the players of india then and only then it is possible to win medals at olympics.

Becoze,other contries are better than our country in maximum sports.Cricket is a sport where India is a strong contender but it is not in olympics.India have quality players but they have to dig out.To dig them out directors and coaches and authorities have to see too everywhere in India.

cricket isnt an olympic sport because a total of about 12 countries play it seriously. china focuses on athletics, soccer(football) and basketball.. All olympic sports.

REASONS :
1. there is too much hunger in india , and we need well fed people to win in sports (chinese people eat even cockroaches/rats to feed themelves , and thus avoid hunger at all cost)
2. well fed people dont take other sports , because : to eat , a man needs money , and other sports dont give money
3. indian parents dont encourage killer instincts in their children
4. people who have strength/energy , use it to do labourer's work (like lifting gas-cylinder, farming 20 hours, pulling hand-cart for 10/20 km , etc)
5. pollution / busy-schedule in cities bring down energy of well fed city-men.
6. many people dont have interest in sports (India is THE most uninterested nation in sports)
7. crowded cities dont have playing-feilds for sports (hence mumbai has started losing ranji-trophy every year)
8. too much veg food can be one reason for under-nutrition . BUT right selection of veg -food , can be as good as non-veg .
9. in many cultures it is considered childish to play like chlidren , and hence some people dont take up sports !!!!!!! (i know it is surprizing you )
10. Indian government's health-department does not reach out every village. and sick people cannot have enough practice
11. .......... Even then , when some extra-ordinary people , make it to the international level , government treats them so badly , that they lose (like :- giving them bad food, not giving a doctor on time , making them stay in a hotel/lodge far-away from practice-gound , enjoying tourism on governments money , etc...)

s, in every selection comitee we have no selectors we have only politicians or political representatives. so we have no respect for talents. so only we can score only 1 medal out of 110 crore.

it may be becze of poor coaching given to the athletes or it can be due to the weak physical &mental abilities of the athletes or even due to less practices provided or it also may be due to the less capital that is put forth by my goverment unlike american or chinese goverment put forth.

becoz of corruption in selection process, most of the players take medicinesat the time of their state level and national level games
