Shame on Australia. As one of the most advanced countries in the world with one of the highest per-capita GDP, Australia only spends 0.3% GDP on aide to poorer countries, especially fellow commonwealth country India. How can Australians sit on the sidelines and watch babies die due to lack of nutrition in India and under-develop their potential without enough to eat, while bragging about India not fit to host the Commonwealth games? You should be helping India to make sure the games are successful.

Don’t you people recognize that India is the world’s largest, Hindu idealistic, democracy, not China; with democracy there is nothing that cannot be achieved. It positions India in a totally different league compared to other countries, the games will be on time and all the facilities will prove to be the best ever for the Commonwealth Games and much better than the Beijing Olympics. After the games, India will be the only remaining super power in economics, international politics, and military strength. Pax Americana will end, and Pax India will rule supreme in the planet earth. Indian democracy has given India the most effective government, the largest military industry, the highest literacy rate, the highest unhunger rate, the most extensive road networks, the best high-speed rail network, the most efficient airports, the highest GDP and GDP per capita, the most educated work force, the most skilled IT industry, the cleanest cities, the most equitable society in the world! Jai Hind!

Objectively, that’s a stupid post.

- Military power? Focusing on that is definitely the hallmark of a 3rd World nation. And “4th Position” is the number of soldiers – an irrelevant statistic in military analysis.

- Economically India has been one of the slowest growing nations for the last 60 years, and since independence has drastically under-performed most of Asia. In GDP terms is still around 130th i the world.
- It’s only in the last 15 years with M. Singh’s economic reforms that things have started to go well.

- comparing Australia and India GDP. Australia gets 5% of GDP from farmers. India gets 60%.

- since India has 55 times the population of India, so would be a complete failure unless it is graduating more doctors and engineers.

India is a proud nation and that’s they key to getting the urgency and focus to complete the Games preparations.

Australians should be ashamed of themselves, in spite of being one of the biggest country (area wise) in the world still enlist themselves in 26th position as far military power is concern and we Indian are at 4th place.India is definitely a third world country but what we have achieved in 50 yrs of independence is a remarkable achievement. No other country in the world including USA couldn’t develop themselves at such an accelerated pace.Hey Australians go and check out the number of doctors and engineers etc you produce in a single year and compare it with INDIA.It is same to say not even 1/3rd.What Australia can do is produce sports person and farmers. As far CWG are concern I am sure we will host it on time, thats what makes INDIA a special country.

Nice summary of our sentiments, albeit with lots of spelling and grammatical errors; but I can’t help but notice you didn’t add anything substantive to the debate. Oh by the way, Australia rocks. I like the country, her people, etc. However, I can’t say the same about India.

It is probably too late to move the games to another country. Getting the logistics and operational aspects prepared and the security measures in place can be next to impossible at this late stage. Unless of course, Australia and other countries have foreseen Delhi’s stumble and been preparing for this contingency. I sure hope the games move somewhere else, as I have no confidence in India at this point. Awarding Delhi the games was a huge mistake, and I wonder what made the member countries think that India was capable of hosting anything that requires planning and organization. Did they not know that Delhi turns into an aqua-city whenever there is more than an inch of rain?! Anyway, this will be a harsh lesson for all involved. I heard Delhi is aiming to host the Olympics in 2016 or 2020. Bah, that is just simply wanking off, isn’t it?

India should have never have been able to host the Commonwealth Games.

Let my Country Australia take over we are more than 100 years ahead of India in every way.

My Country is far far wealthier than third world India. We should have the right to the Games not India.

If China was a Commonwealth Member we would be more than happy to pass our hosting rights onto China. We would support China.

India is not capable of hosting anything. India is too poor to afford this.

We can never reach any where closer to what China conducted last time. 90% of US consumer market is flooded with China products and China took this event as a sign to show their supremacy and as upcoming global economic super power. India is not in that kind of a situation and our’s is not a country which is giving more importance to any sport than Cricket. So, this is going to cause embarrasment unless our visitors dont compare with China and topple it with issues and leave us without much hue and cry, and this is far from reality. God bless us, for its too late to take back too.
