Why India is not showing interest to host Olympics...? Is there any reason behind it...?

I wouldn't be surprised if India has tried harder than has been covered in the press. Generally only one city proceeds per continent makes it to the final round. (For the recently selected 2016 Summer Games, the final round consisted of Tokyo, Chicago, Madrid, and the winner, Rio.)

My point is if Delhi can't get past Beijing or Tokyo for the Asian bid, the Indians don't have anything to show for their efforts.

Which is not to say India can't. I had my doubts about Beijing, and it seems they went off pretty well. As mentioned earlier, Rio was selected for 2016, so there's no reason a developing / recently developed nation can't host them. The 1960 Rome Games restored Italy's image after WWII, as did the 1964 Tokyo Games for Japan and 1972 Munich Games for Germany. The 1968 Mexico City Games, 1988 Seoul Games, and 2008 Beijing Games were coming-of-age events for Mexico, South Korea, and China. For a nation with over 1 billion people and a rapidly industrializing economy, it might be the image makeover India needs.

India might not be pursuing the Olympics as aggressively as it could because of its huge costs. There's always a cost-benefit analysis made, and it might not be worth the billions to elevate their image. After all, it's not like more companies will offshore their tech operations because India hosted the Olympics.

Answer 2

One reason,

India cannot utilize its sources to its fullest.

This is also the cause that its still a developing country

Answer 3

to host any game on such a large scale your own players should also b e upto that mark. I dont comment that we don't have good players but the thing is that we have only a hand full of good players,so hosting such a big event and in the end we find out that india is among last few nations of medal tally

that scenario shall be really frustrating that why I think so indian govt is not taking interest......

best of luck india.....

Answer 4

Olympics can be held anywhere in the world but INDIA, PAKISTAN or SRILANKA. That says it in a nutshell. Pakistan and Srilankar because they are perpetrators of terrorism or the agressors and India because it is the victim, nobody wants to be sandwiched.

Answer 5

India has more productive things to do with its time, resources, and energy.

Answer 6

Because we are busy in licking shoes of the British by focussing all our attention on the fcuking game of cricket.
And India will be humiliating itself if it hosts the olympics and doesn't win loads of medals.
