Taking China as an example may look attractive if you only see the results they have achieved. But the path of following them blindly is fraught with great danger. China has a totalitarian form of governance & individual liberty or democracy do not exist. If Govt decides that your children at certain age must join the armed forces, one has no choice but to obey. Everything is ruled with an Iron hand. Would you like to live in such an environment for the sake of winning Olympic medals or even achieve spectacular results in development of infrastructure ?
We can not jump from one extreme to the other ? Without following China's path many other countries have also progressed in every field of activity. USA, Germany, UK, Japan, Singapore, Australia, NZ land, Canada France, Taiwan etc have made remarkable progress even with democratic form of governance & without sacrificing individual liberty. Their progress may appear slower as compared to China's but I am quite sure the "Happiness Quotient" of individuals must be far higher than China's
The moot question is "What is more important- Spectacular achievement of a country or the happiness of its people?"

What a whining!
Have you ever encouraged dreamt your son or daughter to be an Olympian, leave alone being a medalist. If yes, you have a right to proceed further. If not, at least start NOW trying.
India is India. Sports is not top priority as a career for sons and daughters. That is the perception of 99.99% of parents
So sir, please stop whining

Subject: Re: [World Malayali Club] Why India has failed again in Olympics?
One of the other reason is that we are giving more importance to cricket. When cricket is played by a limited few countries of the world, all other games are played by rest of the countries. ICC and BCC is is very cash rich. Pleas see how the other players are treated. Lack of training, political pressure and nepotism while selecting the participants is known to every one. Our rower did not see a river before 4 years. He was from a remote village of Maharashtra. While each residents of southern Kerala knows rowing, no effort is made to catch them young and train them. They are also goo swimmers. We should not forget the bad treatment faced by our participants in Rio (peanuts for dinner). How the lens of shooter is damaged ? Any one made any inquiry ? In Kerala, there is a saying "kulayil valam vekkuka" (fertilize on the fruit - a rough interpretation). This is happening in India.JayakrishnanOn Friday, 26 August 2016 5:26 AM, "Narayanaswamy Subramanian s_narayanaswamy@yahoo.com [worldmalayaliclub]" <worldmalayaliclub@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
Dear fellow-IndiansDr Maheshwar has put forward eight causes for Indians' miserable and disgraceful performance at 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, and suggested six remedies. India scored the same number and type of medals as Mongolia (pop. 3.0 million), just above Burundi (pop. 10 million)'s sole silver medal.While not presuming to comment on his causes, I strongly disagree with his proposed remedies, which I consider only papering over the unremedied fault-lines in our society.What we truly need, and need here and now, is a total overhaul of the way we are governed as a country. Pussy-footing around will get us nowhere, except perhaps deeper into the mire.Take China as our model for re-construction. Sure, she has her failures and faults -- but overall?Almighty US of America is scared of her, NATO is eunuchised, EU is weakening and almost disintegrating. Europeans are learning Mandarin. Africans look to China as their deliverer after centuries of European enslavement. Laos and Cambodia (from former "French" Indochina) are her strong allies. Vietnam is a silent supporter. The 11-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations -- ASEAN -- is riven deeply due to fear of China's economic, political and military might.How did this all come about?Having, in 1949, got rid of the centuries-old (millenia-old?) regimes of emperor and warlords, having slaughtered the succeeding corruption-ridden, Christianised, US-supported, anti-people Nationalist regime of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, China came together under the dedicated, iron-fisted leadership of one patriotic political party, of one group of self-sacrificing heroes.China's armed forces were formed and remain under the tight control of the ruling party, not the government; and share one national ideology.China, contrasted with India and the US of America, can be labelled a solid monolith. Though ideologically sharing the same Engels-Marxist-Leninist philosophy as the Soviet Union of yesterday and of the Russian Federation of today, China has modified that imported creed to one of "Socialism with Chinese characteristics" as a working model adapted pragmatically to the country and its people. Result: China, the world leader of today. Moving from strength to strength."Let us do something, email to Indian politicians, bureaucrats, institutions, universities. Sending email to each others won't help....... World is veryWhat can India of today learn from China?First and foremost, get rid of the old British-based colonial-minded corruption-riddled emasculated scheme of things, do a ruthless pruning and decimating, excise dead and dying wood, chopping heads if need be, and restore India's latent strength, dormant energy, suppressed excellence.Abolish the internecine, blood-letting political party apparatus root and limb. It saps the resilience of the country and perverts loyalty to nation, flag and anthem, mutating it to loyalty to party and party dons.Abolish the deeply faulty constitutional/judicial/legal system where no citizen is equal in all respects to another citizen. Target especially those sacrosanct tenets parading as salvators and messengers of God and spreading divisions and dissensions among the people. Prohibit conversions under whatever pretext or grounds, and encourage the rights to re-convert freely and without conditions, and to remain agnostic. Nationalise all remaining places of worship, especially those set up within the last 1,000 years. Nationalise all religious schools, by whatever name called, whatever the age or gender catered for.Establish national-type training institutes for youths to be groomed to man the new national-type places of worship, religious schools, social institutions for harmonising the people against bigotry and social hatred.Take a leaf from Israel's experience in survival under perilous times and surrounded by enemies who want to destroy it. Free all women so they can decide their own future, and act accordingly, without fear of repercussions from their menfolk. Give them the same privileges as men, plus special ones to recognise their gender when engaged in work of national importance. Support the idea of every citizen (male or female) a soldier for life, every resource (privately-oned or publicly-owned) a resource for national advancement, national defence, national survival, national cohesion, national protection.Mr. C B Agnihotri says:-competitive, leaders job is to lead, and motivate and arouse the public for the pride of the country."In other words, let all of us just sit passively by, keep the traitorous Indian politicians, bureaucrats, institutions, universitiesexactly where they now are in their overstuffed leather armchairs in their air-conditioned offices far away from the emasculated common people. Ply them with more money and more praise, with wine, women and song if need be, even heap honours and titles on them, but do not throw them out on their ears as hey richly deserve and tell them to earn their own keep elsewhere.Mr Surinder Sharma says:-"(We) should write to the new Minister for Sports and copy to the PM.No, no, NO. This strategy of obeisance to emasculated authority, this abject cavilling to those entrenched in their ivory towers, this kow-towing to obsolescent stuffed-shirts, will never work. They have been tried, and found sorely wanting. Get rid of them straight away. Give the sidelined patriots waiting in the wings a chance to redeem the country.S Narayanaswamy
