No excuse for India, there were seven years for planning. There is politics involved with corruption, poor planning, mismanagement you name it
Question is - Should Sports events of this scale be held only in developed countries? Can countries like India match the standards required by developed world?
Re: Commonwealth Games 2010,India/ games village unfit for atheletes
When they awarded the games to India, they should expect Indian standards, not Western ones!
Security and Hygiene should be the only concerns for visiting teams and they are justified in pointing out deficiencies in that area. Comfort and standards of facilities should not be big issues.

For people who are saying “world should not have expected western standard” etc, here is some food for thought and why world is crying pictures taken in last 2 days and are available at bbc.co.uk. This is all when it has to be opened for athletes from today. There cant be any defenece for this. 7 Years are enough time to provide clean toilets even by 3rd world standards

Canadian Media Labels India as ‘First World Wannabe’
Canadian Media Labels India as ‘First World Wannabe’

Monsoon rains, a dengue fever epidemic, car bombs, a collapsing pedestrian bridge, corrupt construction rackets, traffic Armageddon, indifferent politicians and a filthy athletes’ village that does not even have proper plumbing yet. Or wiring. Or paint on the walls.
The Commonwealth Games are coming to New Delhi, India, in 11 days. Canadian athletes are scheduled to begin arriving in 48 hours. India’s showcase moment is at hand. The entire world is watching.
But what the entire world is seeing — at least so far — looks more like the travails of a First World wannabe nation still…
My Comments:
This is the true picture of India, Britain, Scotland, Canada, New Zealand and many more have “serious concerns” about the state of athlete accommodations.
“Beyond the major cleanup required, there are other issues with plumbing, wiring, furnishings, Internet access and mobile telephone coverage,”
The BBC has obtained pictures from inside the village showing flooding, leaking toilets, dirty bathrooms, incomplete apartments and animal paw prints on beds.
Yet, India insists the Games will be one of the most successful ever.
What do you think?

Technically every country is a first world wannabe but i guess not all are as far from it as India......... or Pakistan for that matter....

Well the problem with India is that it has already started acting like one.

Sure we certainly do, internal problem such as corrupt elite and external problem such as unwanted and uncalled for, Indian intervention such as in Kashmir, Baluchistan and NWFP, and I kid you not, the day India will stop this sabotage and harassment inside Pakistan we will be at peace with them...
Re: Commonwealth Games 2010,India/ games village unfit for atheletes
For a nation that is aspiring to become a super power this is a disgrace.
Btw, from what I have been reading some of the players have already pulled out, and some teams are rethinking about their participation in the games.

Re: Commonwealth Games 2010,India/ games village unfit for atheletes
Major embarassment if true. Why not cancel the games. Mr.Singh and company should resign paving way for new elections and new government
Re: Commonwealth Games 2010,India/ games village unfit for atheletes
BTW it is true that India is a 1st world wannabe...nothing wrong with that. But then we gotta do something to achieve that !
