Behind the Olympics: Where are all of India's medals?

Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

As an Indian who was born and grew up most of his life in India I can say that its predominantly a combination of #3 and #5.

The primary individual goal is to enable the offspring to earn money in order to support their families. This is largely due to unplanned families and out of control population.

However this attitude is changing at large. Kids are more and more interested in sports, but largely to cricket as there is lot of money there. Other sports are largely ignored for the most part.

I am sure over next 10 or 20 years this will change much and we will see more involvement and success.
