INDIA’S GREAT OLYMPIC SHAME

DISASTER DUE TO “UNPATRIOTIC LEADERSHIP” SINCE INDEPENDENCE!

By Dr. Arindam Chaudhuri

We got the least medals per capita amongst all countries of the world (that got medals), yet again!

That’s India’s Olympic shame. We spend 3 paise per capita per day on sports compared to China’s Rs.6/- per day per capita on sports. 

The result is for all of us to see!

Number of Medals per Crore Population:

New Zealand: 40

Jamaica: 30

Denmark: 20

Australia: 18

Norway: 16

Cuba: 12.5

UK: 9.5

Canada: 7.5

Italy: 6.5

Russia: 5

Germany & Japan: 4.5

South Korea: 4

USA: 3.5

Kenya: 2

Brazil: 1

Iran: 0.85

China: 0.62

India: 0.05

Yes the Indian third class shameful sports facilties & system could get India only one medal for every 20crore people unlike New Zealand which got a medal per 2.5 lac people, Australia which got a medal per 5.5 lac people Cuba which got a medal per 8 lac people, UK which got a medal per 10 lac people, Russia per 20 lac people, America per 30 lac people, Kenya per 50 lac people and even China got one medal for every 1.5 cr people. 

While Individual winners are necessarily the heroes worth celebrating, it’s India’s successive governments since independence and in particular the 6 long serving PMs in the picture who are responsible for this great betrayal of India’s immense talent every 4 years at a global stage. 

Shame on them that they make sure we are humiliated on a global platform like no other country in the universe, every four years!

Olympic performance is no miracle. It’s a basic result of the sports facilities that you create for your sports people and the amount you spend on their training. That’s why China is so far ahead of us. In fact what a performance by Russians. The world  kept accusing them of doping. And in 1988 they created the twin world record by winning highest medals - 132 and highest Gold - 55.

This year they were humiliated and not allowed to participate as a nation and yet again they won the third highest total medals and the beauty is if the total medals of the old countries of USSR were to be combined then even this year they would have been ahead of USA. Doping or no doping, the system they created, continues to dominate global sports.

That’s the result of genuine patriotic and committed leadership and great sports facilities.

Leadership is not about doing nothing and then putting make up and calling journalists to record your congratulatory message to an individual winner who gets India a medal DESPITE THE SYSTEM AND NOT BECAUSE OF THE SYSTEM.

WE ARE SO BAD IN SPORTS NOT BECAUSE WE DON’T HAVE TALENT, IT’S ONLY AND ONLY BECAUSE WE HAVE HAD UNPATRIOTIC LEADERS SINCE INDEPENDENCE. 

WE DON’T GIVE OUR PEOPLE FOOD TO EAT, MEDICAL FACILITIES, EMPLOYMENT, EDUCATION, JUSTICE & OF COURSE SPORTS FACILITIES.
