from what i have observed, people in india have got some remarkably distinctive talent in sports but as the time progresses, their focus towards it seems to be dwindling...what/who might be the reason? parents? schools?

I am an Indian and i know this for the fact that MOST of our parents embolden us to be a doctor/engineer or some kind of government officer that will preclude us from living miserably rueful life...i totally respect their concern..but they are neglecting the talent that's buried inside us...trying to ignore the fact is not going to help...they should start encouraging their kids to embrace their dream.. Lack of outdoor activities in schools is yet another issue that is discouraging kids to get involve with their dream..no doubt, schools first precedence should center on studies but outdoor activities should not linger or stay far behind..

in india, about 25% of population are below poverty line. these people cannot afford to send their children to schools or colleges and trust me, these kids have unbelievably miraculous aptness. I've seen kids climb tree like monkeys, run like kangaroos, play soccer like a champion and what not. Give them a chance and they won't disappoint you..Government should provide some kind of scholarship to these kids that'll help em persist their dream.

GIVE EM THE DAMN CHANCE..they deserve it..
