Why India such a huge country,has always so awful Olympic results ? are they lazy ? don't like sports ? ?

Question

I mean 2 medals for a population of over 1 billion !!?? common....

Answer 1

they are busy trying to survive. sports is recreation. also they are a poor nation so no funding resources as they have other priorities on which to spend any available money

Answer 2

no funds go into sport, apart from cricket ofcourse. Sports science and development is key to success at olympics.

Answer 3

India is a poor country. Most of the people live under poverty line. The only popular sports in India is Cricket which takes away the sponsorship from other sports.

Answer 4

Countries who do well at sport tend to be the countries that invest large amounts of money in their sports programmes, that's why The USSR used to do well and why Great Britain is doing so much better now than in the past.  I think the Indian Government has better things to spend their money on, like health care and literacy programmes.

Most Indians are working harder than you can even imagine just to feed and clothe their families, they don't get government or corporate sponsorship in order to give up work and concentrate on training.

Next time you decide to accuse an entire country of laziness it might be a good idea to do some research first.
