3 out of the 5 BRICS nations has hosted or is hosting the Summer Olympics-Moscow(Russia) in 1980; Beijing(China)in 2008; & Rio De Janerio(Brazil)in(would be hosting) 2016.The other BRICS nation i.e South Africa has hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup, therefore India is the only nation in this group,which has not hosted any International mega sports event. So how can our PM be left behind, therefore he has made up our mind to host the 2024 Olympics. Both China & Russia regularly win about 40 & 30 golds in each Olympics, Brazil & South Africa around 5 to 6 golds in each event,whereas we manage to get only silver & bronze & finish 55-60th in the medals table. India has no sports culture specially in the Olympics events, but since we have to compete with China,therefore we have to host. Our media,our politicians,we are so obsessed with China-look @ our media frequently flashing comments by some worthy about India surpassing China's growth rate in 2015-16/or 2016-17. Our "netas"conveniently forget or are ignorant that China's current GDP is 5 times that of ours. To host an Olympics over $50 billion are required,can we spare this sort of money when over 30% of our population are not able to get daily two square meals,lack primary sanitation,health,education facilities.But since our tallest leader has made up his mind,so be it.

China started attending Olympic game only after they became sure of their standard. Let us not waste our energy and money after organising Tamashas, rather try to develop sports culture which is severely lacking here. People in India like to watch sports event (i.e international cricket) on TV only and enough lazy to participate in any game in field.

haha.. first produce some medal worthy athletes. spend money on sports facilities first.. pay athletes better so that they can lead a dignified life..and not sell their medals for money or work labour jobs after events
No. We should not. We are facing so many problems. There are farmers sucides. No rain. Dry. The prices of everything is getting shoot up. If we organised olympics, there will be lot of expenditure on it. And then it will further increases prices. There will be inflation. So I don't think India should bid for Olympics.
The reason i dont want India to host olympics is simple. The 1st reason is that we dont have that many world classs atheletes, and the 2nd reason is that i am worried about wastage of resources established (facilities including stadiums, pools, arena) lying unused after the games have been hosted (if India bids and wins the bid). Already we can the wastage of precious resources established due to unuse in Mexico, Beijing, Athens, Seoul and others cities. India being a developing country with a huge poor poplation cant afford such wastage. Already the cycling velodrome established in hyderabad for Afro Asian games has literally lyimg in a derelict condition
