The beginning of the video tells us about the advantages of hosting the Olympics . . And suddenly when it comes to India hosting . . It is disadvantageous??? Every country has socioeconomic challenges . . Including the USA . . Hosting the Olympics will definitely put India on the global stage . . Just the way the 1936 Olympics did for Germany as mentioned in the video . . And I have been watching Think school vlog, the content and the approach has changed a little post the election results . . 🤔🤔🤔🤔

It is not a waste of money. It increases the reputation of India globally which in turn improves tourism and also FDI

I think it’s better to spend the same money in developing sports infrastructure throughout India especially in tier 2 cities.India have a serious lacunae in sports infrastructure except for cricket.This will help build a sports ecosystem in our country.Spending 10’s of billions of dollars in one area won’t help India.Mostly it might become useless like seeing in cases like Rio and Beijing.Also there might be a short term influx of tourists but long term benefits are doubtful.Lets get atleast 10 gold in a single olympics and then host the games.

I completely agree with the statement given by Prakash Padukone sir.....Lakshya jeeta hua matches haara , full of carelessness , 7-8 points lead mein rehte hue , aur match ko apni control mein rakhne ke bawajood bhi, kaise hara that's unbelievable , woh bhi back to back 2 matches mein... Cricket mein aisa hota toh match fixing, choker etc tag lag jaata.....But surprisingly , some players like Ashwini ponappa and Saina Nehwal are also complaining over something in this regard and trending in social media.... Cricket aur Bumrah ko beech mein laa rahe hai , this is totally unacceptable......Desh mein log cricket se jyada Badminton khelte hai , almost every city, town , village mein badminton courts ka hona common si baat hai, bade bade cities mein Badminton academies bhi hai ......So , Jaise cricketers aksar gaali sunte hai for poor performances, Badminton players ko bhi sun na hi padegaa....Baat agar paison ki hai , then Near about 500 crores has been spent on this contingent...... 4th position is unacceptable,ya toh 1-2-3 Bano ya out ho jaao.... 7-8 players ended up at 4th spot surprisingly ,....which shows how they had choked irresponsibly at crucial stages....

I think it will be an economic disaster. That is the reason why no country is willing to host these days.

And we know if this happens how the politicians are going to become rich. we need to use that money in our railway upgrade.

[@patel.k0]

No it will be a serious blunder if we do that. 1st . We dont have the money to upgrade our railways, every month people are dying because of railway accidents. 2nd. We dont have enough money for our Research and development budget. 3rd. Our defense public companies are not doing well because of lack of funds. 4th. We don't have money for soldiers so we are telling them to "get out" after 4 years. 5th. we have people who have water and electricity and clean air issues But we have money for a 1 month gaming drama. isn't that shameful. We will host it once we become a developed country. If Ambani family wants to do it with their money then OK. But not on tax payer money.

Bro this was an eyeopener. I thought that whatvever cost is being occured to build facilities. Selling of sponsorships, satellite right and tickets shall recover a good amount. To think that beijing olympics resulted in huge losses despite so much investment means purely from risk reward perspective rather use money to better existing facilities and setups to convert our bronze medals to gold 🥇 Thereby increase interest among kids at young age to take up sports other than cricket and once more gold flows in parents will be ready to send more kids to sport careers. Once that demand kicks in naturally more facilities will open up as opportunities increasing further interest.

I still believe sportswashing is needed for a country like India as it is highly misunderstood around the world. Even our movie industry portrayed it in a bad light. It's just that recently things have changed. But after a decade I still believe we would have enough money to host an Olympics and better sportsmen. And for the economics part of it, we have to consider that since we are hosting the Olympics there will be more eyeballs and Broadcasting rights will be a huge amount. If an annual event like IPL can get you a billion dollars, the olympics can also get that. We can also expect a lot of pvt investments in the game city. So, the Govt will not have to bear all the costs. In short I believe it will be a beneficial for India. I won't say economically beneficial but an overall net benefit.

Moreover, the design of all SVP sports enclave incorparates versatile and modular facilities, allowing the stadiums to be adapted for different purposes, including national and international sporting events, concerts, cultural festivals, and community activities.

Great Analysis, Ganesh! One more pattern, and most important one that comes out of this, and probably missed in the video is ADVENT OF INTERNET!

Post-Internet era, globalisation of knowledge also happened at a tremendous pace, hence nobody needs these landmark events to know about a country and its culture. Like you pointed out, Movies, Music and Animes etc. especially with OTTs can do this today much effectively and cheaply.
