India it seems doesn't get a damn about its people for the most part. Probably 500 local officials need to be bribed to get anything done. If a 100 people die in a train accident, well they'll try to get it down to 90 next time if possible. If someone has 10 children but can't support them, well that's their problem. It would be difficult for a local official to spend a dime for some sort of public awareness program. It is impossible to think that India does not have a large talent pool; but they are all untapped. "There’re more important things that we should be focussing on!" Well certainly there is ... and all those things you should be focused on are the ones that probably the sames ones that will help your country have a decent showing at the Olympics. Even a super poor country like Kenya outperform India. Ridiculous!

I do see sport as an industry which can help the country at large as well however. Give priority to rural development but why ignore development of sport.

The infrastructure and thus talent doesn’t come up as there isn’t any money and the money doesn’t come is as there isn’t any talent. There is a talent in sports like Chess but I guess a World Cup 1983 or a Sania Mirza has to happen to kick start a sport. @ Preetam - That is one way of looking at it Preetam.

Like soccer and hockey are not that popular at the national level, so the sponsors are not there. There is no widespread coverage (on tv) and thus there is no popular awareness.
