India as also has a population of 1.4 billion people in the country, in the entire Olympic history but only in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games achieved the first and only gold medal, on the contrary, the same for the big countries such as China, the United States, Russia, the number of Olympic medals is absolutely unimaginable for the Indian people more, why is the population base of such a large number of India can not find a few outstanding athletes for the country to get Olympic Olympic medals for the country? There are several reasons:
One, India's basic sports backwardness
Why is there a reason for the backwardness of basic sports?
The first reason must lie in the people's concept of physical fitness, the people do not have the concept of physical fitness, that is not as good as doing sports to labor to obtain more benefits, which leads to the concept of sports continued to be rejected by the public, and further will lead to the sports as a career for the athletes will not be enough to pay attention to, and even in the community will think that the usual training is meaningless, and good face. India as long as there are world sporting events, see their poor medal count pain, a momentary pain in the past how to still how to self-paralysis, sports career long-term downturn.
Secondly, the people do not have the concept of sports to be rooted in the government's guidance and publicity, and our country has been publicizing the ? National fitness? Different, the Indian government will be the economy and military as the top priority in the development, compared to the natural neglect of sports this seems unimportant cause, place, equipment, personnel selection, infrastructure and many other aspects of India is still a lot worse, the future there is a long way to go.
Second, the country's environment does not allow
In India, there are still quite a number of people do not have enough to eat, there are still quite a number of parts of the region in the night there is no electric light.
Such a large number of people do not even have enough to eat, but also talk about what sports and fitness, even the initial survival of the grain can not be provided, not to mention the physical fitness needs of protein supplements. At night in China you can see plazas and parks with groups of amazons dancing in squares and parks, and there is all sorts of training equipment for people to do all sorts of activities, whereas in India, a significant portion of the area is not electrified, and there is not even a little bit of light at night.
A country where even the toilets are not in place, not to mention sports facilities, various sports venues, even if someone wants to exercise fitness I am afraid it is difficult to find a place.
In addition, India is located in a humid, hot region, indoors will be more stuffy, is not suitable for sports. Many factors limit its development.
Third, the backwardness of cultural concepts
India's regional religion is prevalent, Brahmins as the highest caste will be vegetarians and despise physical activity as a way of life, the only possibility of obtaining adequate nutrition of the population, but because of the religion of the people to give up the sports and fitness, the Indian people will also be the Yoga as a sports and fitness, and the Olympic Games program is difficult to agree.
Many factors have led to a lack of energy to develop sports in India, and if it ever starts to matter, it will be a huge endeavor and won't pay off anytime soon.
