India representing at the ‘Rural Olympics’.
Today on the morning show we talked about the Olympics, namely China’s emerging dominance. For me the bigger question is India. Why does India suck so much? In 2008 the US won 110 medals, China won 100 and India won… 3. India has over a billion people, some economic clout and is by all counts an emerging superpower, but they suck at the Olympics. Why?
I dunno. I was asking. I guess I’ll do some reading. Let’s start with a couple hypotheses
- Indians suck at sports
- The Indian government sucks at sports administration
1. Indians Suck At Sports
I honestly don’t think this is possible, and Indians are pretty good at cricket. The rub may be that they devote everything to cricket, which isn’t an Olympic sport. I know they (we) are short and not physically awesome, but the average Indian can take the average Chinese person in a fight. And there’s a billion of them, so there has to be a certain amount of innate ability. Perhaps I’ll get back to this, but let’s move on.
2. Indian Government Sucks At Administration
This seems more likely. The Indian government – while a democracy – is still a mess. Sadanand Dhume has an essay starting with the Olympics but flowing into a broad indictment of Indian mediocrity in all forms.
India’s traditional invisibility at the Olympics—the gold and two bronzes won in Beijing mark its best ever performance— can be viewed as a legacy of the flawed policies it pursued in the early decades after independence. For long an autarkic and socialist economy, India has lagged in establishing the competitive culture and market incentives that spur excellence in the developed world. At the same time, as a democracy, it has never had the option of emulating the intrusive controls and collective purpose that mark the authoritarian model. (India’s Olympic Reality Check)
Then there is India’s sports administration, which displayed naked corruption and incompetence during the embarrassing Delhi Commonwealth Games. This via Neeta Lal in the Asia Times:
For one, India’s annual budget for sports is too meager. This year’s US$280 million worth of funding is overshadowed by international standards. For example, China’s – one of India’s biggest rivals – has earmarked $2 billion for this year’s Games.
About half the money from India’s outlay will be channeled towards administrative expenses and the salaries of officials and bureaucrats. In other words, much of it will be gobbled up in administrative expense rather than the crucial training of athletes. (India’s failure of Olympic proportions)
Basically India isn’t enough of an authoritarian country to muscle a sports program through, but they aren’t enough of a democracy to have competent sports institutions either. Which is perhaps a chicken egg situation, that the private sector should step in to ameliorate. Or maybe Indians are happy enough with being awesome at cricket and OK at field hockey and don’t really care about running fast or any traditional feats of strength. But they kinda should, because it just looks bad, internationally.
Whose a troll?????
I was just speaking the truth. Everybody knows Indians are animals. Just ask ANYBODY who has had the unfortunate privilege of working with these smelly scumbags. Are you living in Mars or something???
This is not meant to be crude or racist, but it’s simply because Indian people are not athletic or aggressive. India has always been the abused and colonized throughout history and it is a result of its pacifist mentality and limp wristed mentality. It even lost a war with China. In conclusion, Indians just don’t have what it takes to be athletic/manly/aggressive to win olympic medals.
Exactly my point. Inferior Genes. An athletic body, manliness, aggressive behavior all are genetic traits. Indians have a pacifist mentality simply because they are genetically inferior. Simply put, Indians are no more docile than the cows they worship.
We too are in the same boat, but it does not show since we are a very very small country. After competing for over 70 years we have only 2 medals. Idi Amin’s Uganda has 6, including 1 Gold. So go figure.
Stop arguing whether India sucks in Sports. All of you want a reason to argue then argue on this India sucks at everything.
If you smell what the rock is cooking.
this reminds of what the WHITE slaveowners used to say about blacks….they are not smart enough…
now obama is probably the smartest president ever……
this stuff pushes me to do better in sports…. anyone can do anything…dont listen do these guys if you have read this…..(I’m Indian) and successfully played american football wrestling and cross country in high school…. now working on becoming a pro boxer
ALL WORK IS EASY WORK
it won’t be overnight but soon it’ll change its the cycle of life…… and to rohan and all of the other haters out there you guys don’t understand the human nature!…i guess bodhidharma should have stayed…..oh well peace out
you sound like the new hitler…. thanks for pressuring me….
“(I’m Indian) and successfully played american football wrestling and cross country in high school”
Really??? Playing AF Football, wrestling and cross country videos games with your friends in high school do NOT count to prove Indians are good at sports.
Sorry mate. :-D
India is the biggest shithole in the history of humanity. If you don’t believe just go there and c for yourself. If you want to see the worst of humanity then go to India. It’s worse than Africa.
“The reason Chinese are getting a lot better these days is primarily because their athletics program resembles super soldier training”
– In other words, in order to excel in sports, one has to train real hard? What’s new about it?
Also, it’s not only about The Chinese – The Americans, Russians, Germans, French, Koreans, Italians – they all score high at Olympics, – not all of them “violate” sportsmen “human” rights.
Size does matter, that’s why they have different weight divisions. Technique alone is worth nothing. Strength combined with fighting spirit and experience, – this is what wins the fight.
the truth is Indians are not competitive in anything and have never produce any thing which is truly world class – look at all the Olympiads be in in maths, physics, chemistry, biology competitions or even IT and programming competitions, Indians have never been tops. India may have a large IT industry but it is known not for quality but for quantity – the best programmers are Russians, East europeans and Americans, not indians.
and the worse is that india is not known for quality and world class brands – can’t think of any. there is no Bentley, Toyota, Benz, Louis Vuitton or anything which is the finest and the greatest. even when they win a title, they will never defend the title (only hockey in the olden days when competition was not serious and the game was not as athletic as today)
indians are a satisfied lot – and when they quite good or become rich they are so ARROGANT OR CORRUPT. they will probably win a world title for boasting, talking big and being hugely corrupt and they are so disorganized and so political and so damn selfish so sense of civic mindedness
indians are a big lot of third world mentality
Indians suck at sports because they drink cow urine instead of eating beef, their diets are low in protein and hence they are short and weak.
My experience has been the same!Defeated every single indian i have fought,most of them larger than me.Been defeated by a thai!Maybe its the indian diet!Was just sharing my experience!
One thing that I thought was funny was the part where it says the average Indian can take the average Chinese in a fight. Seriously?? In what world? Even in the US, Chinese-American kids are so much more athletic than their Indian counterparts. Where is the Indian tradition in boxing and martial arts??
IT IS BECAUSE OF THOUSANDS OF YEARS OF CASTE BASED INBREEDING, THAT HAS REDUCED INDIANS TO GENETIC DISASTER ZONES.. INDIA HAS AROUND 1,500,000 CASTES AND THEN SOME. EACH GROUP BREEDS ONLY WITH ITSELF (EVEN THOUGH THEY ALL LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME IF YOU GET ON A BUS IN DELHI), AND THIS HAS BROUGHT OUT A LOT OF RECESSIVE GENES THAT BELONG IN PATHOLOGY MUSEUMS. CASTE BASED INBREEDING IS ALSO AN AFRICAN TRADITION, IN OTHER WORDS INDIA AFRICANIZED ITSELF BY DEVISING THE CASTE SYSTEM..
yes its true being an indian I can tell you this but the real problem is they just do not want to change the pacifist mentality and turn their body into a militant race
Hinduism is the problem. It leads to low protein, laziness, fear (worshipping any thing- fire, elephants, etc.) with people who do nothing but meditate and poop. Not being a hater just honest. BTW, my parents are both of Indian descent. So I know.
To the chinese mofos, you guys know that you guys are physically smaller than Indians. You need fucking martial arts training to beat someone. What a fucking joke. Indian soldiers fought for the british army ever since they invaded India and with the man power and the sheer size of the average Indian soldier, the british were able to colonize many chinese areas such as honkong , nanjing, and many others. Your fucking ‘martial arts’ doesn’t beat a guy with a bigger build and most importantly weapons. We are fucking happy and satisfied with the way we live. Also to that ‘chinese guy’ that said Chinese are way more athletic IN THE FUCKING US, well guess what buddy there are Indians all across the world including canada, australia, UK and the Indian people in these countries have fucking gangs and are tough as fuck that look scarier than black people. US has a lot of nerdy Indians. We have diverse group of people unlike the chinese who look like clones of each other. They probably produced clones of one athletic guy and made hundreds of them to compete in the olympics. Chinese definitely know how to fucking cheat.
India is definitely a genetically inferior race. Being Indian, I cannot argue with a single point about India’s inadequacies. Anyone who does has got their head stuck up a cows arse. Wake up and smell the cow shit… It’s time for India to adopt new values. It’s traditions suck. It’s made up of a population of cheating scum bags who like to hide behind religion and culture as an excuse not to advance like other countries. Simply put, Indians are lazy and lack the self respect that most other countries like China have. Lots tourism sucks because people don’t want to go to a smelly dirty country. Forget about sports, just start cleaning up the godforsaken place for starters. Stop worshipping those fucking cows too. They don’t give a shit about you. If you really cared about your cows they wouldn’t look so immaciated. And go take a shower sometime. I think the greatest invention that India never used is DEODERANT. You can smell Indians from a mile away. Not good guys. As for using martial arts as an excuse for weakness…. You just demonstrated how stupid and illogical the Indian race is. As an Indian.. I am not proud to be one! That’s why I will never go there and have nothing to do with it! Because they don’t want to help themselves either!
short answer:
india is the shitties country on the planet and indians are the lowest form of human filth
I completely agree with the fact that Indian suck at Olympics. The only sport Indian are good at is Cricket. Apart from that Indians are good for nothing. British ruled India and made them slave, used the policy of divide and rule. Later after independence, Indians did the same to themselves. They divided further each other on the basis of caste, region, religion, color, culture. Indians are good at boasting and believing on fake mythological stories. Indians believe that their naked sages knew the laws of gravity before Newton. Indian believe that mythological demon “Ravan” was the first aeronautical engineer who made space ships. Indians believe that ancient spaceships used the urine as fuel. Indians are people retarted. Until they will stop believing such shitty stories which gives them a fake sense of pride, they can’t progress. Untill Indians stop worshipping animals, stones, idols, etc they would always be weak. An average Indian who is a vegetarian has the strength of a goat. Humans are at the top of food chain but an average Indian choose to stay somewhere at the level of herbivore in the food chain.
Olympics is just a mere sports meant for entertainment since roman era. Romans collapsed. Entertainment went on. Europeans migrated to America to rape and conquer innocent native americans to practice their voodoo stuff called christanity. Blacks were taken as slaves for their superior physical form. Arabs were invaded to conquer their oil wells. Jews were massacred for their wealth. Chinese stuck to their Mao shit and signed up for slaves for life contract. India got freedom 70 years back. It spends 0.5 % of what US and other countries spends on their sports. It got its indigenous mars mission and satellites in orbits only in mere 70 years of technological advances. All those comments about physical form, name calling, belittling are insight of your own weak deflated thrashed egos and mere hatred bred by self pity and failures in personal lives. Life is good with or without olympics. We are the oldest known civilization to the mankind. We have survived the test of times. We were here before you and we will be here after you. We do what makes us happy without hurting anyone and you do …well.. Fuckall. ..really. You live for others and you seek appreciation and approval and you die doing that.
There are some traits you can associate to cetain types of people. For example look at the Chinese and their hygiene issues and disgusting eating habits. Also chinese or orientals seem to lack personality and are like clones. Even by nature they copy but never invent.
They try so hard to copy the Europeans. Look at their weddings . Don’t they have a Chinese wedding dress.
FOr Northern European they have an issue of high percentage of peodophelia or child abuse and homosexuality in their genes. Also a higher number of serial killers
Arabs and Africans. ThereS not much to say . But probably the stupidest people on earth. Once the oil for arabs runs out. They be back to the stone age.
And idioms do sick at sport cause they only like that Shitty game cricket. Like watching paint dry.
I am not racist. But as you can see there are issues with types of races.
Most orientals worship an an Indian . Mr budda . They could not even produce a religion. Except the Shitty water fire crap they believe in
India is a “Comical Tragedy”
Its always amusing to write about India. Leave alone Olympics…India Sucks big time in everything. But Wins in Hypocrisy and Corruption. Even they loose horribly… still they will have a “Story of Heroism” to it.
When they loose to Pakistan in any game, they will say it is because once India and Pakistan were related as brothers and sisters and the Indians left the game in Pakistan’s favor and gave them a chance to win.
If they loose in any game to a country like Bangladesh (equally corrupted morons like Indians) they would say the same reason. “REASONS”…Indians have plenty of them.
1300000000 Indians struggle to win ONLY 1 silver in Olympics. But if you ask them…they will have 1 Billion excuses and stories to support their inability.
A funny country of uncouth idiots ruled by equally qualified Bast#$% morons. India has a heritage for blind faith and people here worship everything….right from, trees on dirty street corners, anthills frequented by snakes, stones, rocks and everything you could just think of. Whether one is a politician or a government servant or a private staff or whoever it is, Everyone in India is Corrupt to the core and they love this country for one simple reason of convenience…CORRUPTION. India is a shit-hole of Mother-F@#$%&S.
Well…”but the average Indian can take the average Chinese person in a fight” lol ……you can find it on wikipedia or any other website that avg. height of Indian male are 164.7 cm (Urban 166.3 cm/ Rural 161.2 cm) and Chinese male are 167.1 cm (Urban 170.2 cm/ Beijing 174.7 cm /Rural 166.3 cm) and you think “average Indian can take the average Chinese person in a fight “, there must be something mistake.
And one thing, Indian seems to compare anything to China (hostility I think?), you guys should go to any Chinese media( I mean use Google Translate of course) and you will know no one discuss about India. Too pathetic.
