India is far from being the next China. They can't pull themselves together and get shit done. That's probably the one thing you have to credit socialism to be able to do. No large scale athletics program means the few million non dirt poor citizens become the pool for potential athletes. Only reason you see small African countries rape at some events is because the athletes see the Olympics as a way of getting out of poverty and maybe be imported to 1st world countries along with large government prize money.

Its not as if India doesn't have training facilities, its just their sport money goes to Cricket, which is not an Olympic sport. Cricket in India is like if you add all the fans of American Football, Baseball, and Basketball together.

Mexico also sent very few people considering their population is very high (110 million).

And Australia sent way too many people considering their population is very small (20 million).

There would be 2 million indian athletes in that event, and they would all suck.

My theory is that Indians are lazy bastards when it comes to anything that requires physical exertion. Sports like Cricket and Air Pistol 10M don`t really require one to be really physically fit. Even smokers can play Cricket and shoot guns.
Indians also like to cheat anyone they can in every day life, this philosophy would n`t be compatible with the Olympic spirit.

As an indiafas, the reason/answer to your question is SIMPLE.

Coming from a poor country no one really gives a shit about getting medals or even being an athlete. Everyone just wants to make money & keep it. Plus our genetics arent even that great, everyone is less than 6' & probably 150-165lbs.

I do wonder if india implemented a plan like chinas where they took street kids & orphans and made them practice sports so they can win gold medals in the olympics. People would probably kill the guy who even says that idea though since no one wants to give money away because they are all cheap bastards.

Im living well in NY now, go USA!

That makes little sense, because athletics is a faster way out of poverty than education or infrastructure investment for the talented athletes.

And people in dire poverty normally jump at the chance for the government to support their kids; thus Chinese parents giving their kids up when better-off Americans and Europeans would rather keep their families together.

Well its not like they can just train day in an out. Most of the poor live on the road and shit theres no way for them to even improve & they dont even eat well. How do you expect these kids to accomplish something if they dont have shit & no one even gives if they live or die?

Well not many people even play sports who are middle class & most of them dont get a chance either. My cousin plays netball for the state of Andhra Pradesh & her younger sister is also good but she never got to play cause they didnt want 2 people from the same family to play for the state team.

People who feel like they are at a higher social/wealth class will never allow you to participate & will most likely kick you out no matter how good you are. India is very racist, you have no idea its the most racist country in the world. Most people just dont show it.

I thought India was class-ist, religiously intolerant and generally athletically incompetent.

I attribute the last one to the influence of the British.

But then again I don't really know that much about India. I just get the sense the country has many problems, like many former colonies.

Let's say the government decides to start an intensive baseball program b/c of similarities to cricket and Indian genetics make them worthless in any other major sport. They could have kids training day and night and build a system on par with China in terms of efficiency. But they're fucking Indians so......

Home runs will be called run homes
The 7th inning stretch will be a 20 minute yoga session
Sometimes it's a 9 inning game, sometimes 8, sometimes 10.
