Question

why is india behind in sports

Answer 1

In general India is weak in sports that require high levels of physical fitness. This largely reflects caste and class attitudes to physical effort. This is a society in which even middle-class people will have a servant bring them a glass of water from just a few feet away: for centuries, high status has partially derived from lack of physical effort and the abundance of other people to take the strain for you.It is only very recently that elite Indians have started jogging rather than slowly walking in parks like the Lodhi gardens in New Delhi, and this very much reflects the influence of the American and British universities their children have been attending for the last couple of decades.and in india all parents want their child to be a doctor,engineer etc.

Answer 2

big reason behind this is large population
