Manmohan Singh has said that India will bid for the Asian Games 2014 and Olympics 2016 reports New Kerala. Can we build infrastructure to host an Asian Games so soon? We have the Commonwealth Games in 2011 and so infrastructure would be boosted any way. So Asian Games 2014 is possible if India pursue it seriously.

Olympics in 2016? Forget the infrastructure for a minute. Lobbying and a lot of effort is also required to host the games apart from initial financial expenditure for promoting an Olympic city. Even then cities lose out. Also the competition is immense and India entering fray right now for 2016 would already find a few counries ahead of it. Maybe it can be a bidder in name (which would again require serious financial expenditure). India can go for hosting an Olympic in the future but not as early as 2016.
