Technically India is trying to develp and compete with other countries but why is not following their rules?

Not being from India I am afraid I'm not quite sure what you mean exactly (I don't know what you regard as 'their rules' for example).\n\nIf you are talking about emigration then we have a saying here in England "the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence" and other countries do have an appeal, especially if they're richer or present more opportunities.\n\nWhile I have no problem with Indians emigrating here (or anywhere) I too wonder why they don't stay - perhaps they feel there aren't the opportunities to 'make a difference' in India, or they may simply see a chance to improve their own standard of living and aren't concerned with the bigger picture of what is happening to their homeland. Or could it be that over the last century or two, with the Brits running things, there's a feeling it is up to others to improve things in India?\n\nFor what it is worth I believe India has grown up since the days of the Raj and, though some of its people may be behaving like selfish children, there is enough talent and knowledge being gained by Indians across the globe to contribute immensely to its growth and maturity. Once they see India as 'the place to be' I think they'll come back.\n\nI would also like to say that I think India should remain Indian and not feel it has to become American or go back to being British. You have a great and glorious history of your own, with immense successes (and a few mistakes - but we all have those!) and an impressive cultural background. and don't forget even the language known as English has its roots in Indo-European 'soil'. \n\nSo yes, I agree wholeheratedly with you if what you are saying is be true to Indian values and ethics while developing 21st century techniques and knowledge and, above all, make your country great again. The world needs a strong India.

All are selfish.  No one works for India.  They work for their own benefits and their own State and their own place and for their near and dear.

firstly.. it is really bad that India has so many malnourished children when it aiming to become a super power. but then this comparing the two countries isn't even. look at India's size and population. its huge.. but definitely steps should be taken by the government to improve the situation.

India was once an ally of the Soviet Union and was part of the now non-existent Non Aligned Movement. They also have a long history of non-violence. They can probably be a trade partner, like China is, but not a military ally.\n\nAnd I agree with MC Hummer. Indians, regardless of their state of industrialization, voted out an ultra-conservative, ultra-patriotic government for a more liberal one. A billion people voting to do that is indeed quite a democracy.

Apart from hockey and cricket, India shows little interest to improve in all other sports and games; trailing behind other Asian countries big and small. The next Commonwealth Games to be held in the world's second most populous nation could serve as an indicator of the standard of India's sports in general.

India is not ready yet. Nuclear arms does not make a country ready for world leadership.

YOU ASKING ABOUT FIFA WORLD CUP.\nINDIA IS PROGRESSING WELL'\nBUT..\nI DONT THINK INDIA COULD COMPETE WITH KOREA AND IRAN.

They play too much cricket when compared to other teams in the world. One more main issue is that cricket is not just a game in India, its a religion. People see players as their role models, so if the cricketers fail they face severe criticism. That's the reason they are under lot of pressure.

Its the thinking of people that needs to undergo change. One major aspect is the law enforcement which can solve 80% of India's woes. To that effect Presidents rule may help in enforcing the same - but it also paves way for misuse of the power.

First of all, people need to break the taboo that becoming an athlete is not a bad career move (like how back in my parents time, singers and dancers were looked down upon). Then, India needs to start building good training centers where people can start training for different sports. After that, they need to find some good coaches/trainers in Olympic worthy sports and start training people.

Well, given that India has won only 17 medals in it's history, it is a little embarrassing for a nation of it's size and population, about 1.2 billion people. They won one medal in 2004 for shooting\n\nWhen you consider that Denmark (for example), a nation of about 5.5 million people has won some 163 medals including 39 gold, it kinda makes one wonder what's up with India. And Denmark incidentally, won 8 medals in 2004 including 2 gold....\n\nI don't believe they should stop competing, but perhaps focus on core sports where they've had success like in field hockey.

Let not your imagination run fast.\nIntodays world the smaller a nation the more merry for all the rest. See USSR it has been split. \nSo the days of any two power joining to swallow another power are over. \nRemember the culture of each area varies and the people living therein want their independence. So some type of PANCHAYAT RAJ\nat each village level under the over all control of a joint head may work well. \nEven in the worst of dream no INDIAN would wish anything happence to the independence of PAKISTAN or AFGANISTAN or CEYLON or BANGLADESH.or NEPAL

well we dont play any american soccer, thats why i guess\nbut thats not what u asked right\n\nwell as for talent there is no lack of it.\nthe only reason why we are not doing good at football is the obsession that people have with cricket.\n\na "match" in india only means one thing a cricket match\n\nwe need to look at other sports besides cricket and there is also a need to divert more funds to the cause\n\nand for that the federations need money and that needs to come from the govt in the initial stages till the time corporates come in \n\nif these things happen i dont see any reason why india should not do good at football(soccer)

ITS BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES HAS NOW UNDERSTOOD THAT THE FUTURE BELONGS TO INDIA AND CHINA . THE GROWTH STATISTICS OF INDIA CLEARLY SHOWS THAT ITS ALL SET TO OVERTAKE USA BY 2050 . SO INORDER TO KEEP CHINA UNDER CONTROL U.S NEEDS THE HELP OF INDIA . ALSO NOW THE U.S CANNOT AVOID INDIA . THEY ARE ALREADY IN A VERY GOOD POSITION WITH INDIA'S ECONOMY VERY STRONG AND CRUISING AHEAD FASTER THAN EVER . ALSO INDIA HAS BECOME THE CENTRE FOR MANY INNOVATIONS BECAUSE OF THE HIGHLY SKILLED WORK FORCE AVILABLE IN INDIA .\nINDIA ALSO IS A EMERGING AS A STRONG MILITARY POWER WITH ITS 4 TH LARGEST AIRFORCE . 6TH LARGEST NAVY AND 2ND LARGEST ARMY . \n\nINSHORT NOW IT WILL BE FOOLISH IF U.S DOES NOT STAND WITH INDIA .INDIA CAN BE A RELIABLE PARTENER IN U.S WAR AGAINST TERROR .\n\nALSO INDIA ALTHOUGH NOT SIGNED NPT , HAS A VERY GOOD RECORD OF NON PROLIFERATION NUCLEAR TECH. THAT THOSE WHO HAVE SIGNED NPT.\n\nBECAUSE OF ALL THESE REASONS U.S WANTS INDIA WITH IT FROM NOW.

International rules aren't that strict. It's often determined by which country you are a citizen of, not where you are born. There are even some exceptions to that, however.
