Indian Media is very disgusting and the actual villain for the negative publicity. I wonder how they never cover the issues pertinent to hold such sporting events of such large scale. Mani Shankar Aiyar is talking about poverty to everything except the sporting events like this. A country like India need many reasons to celebrate its being and identity.
its such a pity that there is no single person to watch the games. Its clear that government wasted tonnes of money.how are we going to get that money back when no one buys the tickets?
Wonder why there is no football in CWG. Would have been interesting even if the first choice teams from countries like England and Nigeria were not there.
Seems that the inherent aspect of being ruled by foreign power as is embedded in the meaning of (British)Commonwealth, is having an effect on the morale of the Indian players. Why should we call ourselves member of common wealth when we are free of the yoke of British raj?

Although you have posted in English but i don't think that you understood proper English and the concept of the article. Go back and read again you might understand it better second time around.

Why are we still speaking English which was a result of the British rule among other things ?

Agree, we should stop common wealth games or change its name. The fact that we are speaking english doesn't mean we continue everything of british raj.

Enjoy the matches and forget the past.. look ahead think ahead.
In Olympics or other international stage games, India needs to focus on athletics, gymnastics, swimming and shooting, because that's where all the medals are. But unfortunately, these fields are already cornered and perfected by other countries and we are lagging way behind. So it will be a tough fight to win medals. But if India produces world class individuals in one of these events, it will climb up the medals ladder easily. Michael Phelps won 8 gold medals all by himself in Swimming in 2008 Olympics.
