why do we lag behind in other sports
Answers
Answer:
nice question
Explanation:
India is lagging behind in Sports due to the lack of encouragement from people and the lack of vision from our leaders. There is more stress on studies rather than games and sports in India even today. People believed only in engineering and medicine and other premier education. The government reflects the people so there is not much encouragement from there either for the sports. Our leaders did not had vision to create sports infrastructure in the country. It is reflected in the number of sports facilities that were created in each state and in each district. Other than the major cities and towns, there is not much infrastructure and encouragement for the sports and games. The only sports that kept us going is cricket and hockey due to the passion of the early players.
Now there is a realization among the common people on the sports. People are realizing the importance of sports towards their health. It would take some time for our leaders also to realize the same. In the mean time, if the business leaders/thought leaders can influence, the situation would improve. You do see other games in TV like Shuttle, Kabaddi, Hockey and Football. People are slowly following their interest rather than cricket all the time. We do see lot of private gymnasiums coming up and people queuing up on public parks for walking. Many marathons are being successful in many metros. There is a change coming, but it would take another generation to make the impact if not a decade.
