Why has India never produced even one decent football player? Or athlete in general?

The only poothlete deserving respect is the poo that won a gold medal in javelin, this being the first real gold medal ever for the poos.

Then 4 years later, in the most delicious of cuckenings, he got silver to a bloody Paki

>still bad sports infrastructure
>lack of overall know-how (calling India a football country would be a stretch in general)
>corruption
>middle class (the social class most responsible for producing pro athletes) still small
>general focus on academic success over sports careers
>mostly terrible nutrition
>generally unathletic population in terms of genetics
As the middle class grows and India becomes a more ambitious nation - leading to better sports infrastructure and athlete culture -, they will start producing better athletes. You can already see certain improvements in a few sports (athletics, even without Neeraj Chopra, who counts as a decent athlete for sure), even though they still suck for the most part.
They will remain underperformers because their population is too large and overall unathletic/not pro-sports enough. But they can stop being a joke for sure.
Becoming decent at the Olympics isn't that hard, there are a lot of niche sports that don't require athleticism and can be dominated via comparatively moderate investment. Becoming good at global sports like football and basketball is much harder. But one or two decent athletes in these sports should be possible

Indian men have a weaker grip than white women. Should explain everything you need to know.

I feel like India is very advanced in some very specific areas (usually technology, but not everything, just some areas, though on these areas on par with the likes of the USA), and an absolute backwards shithole in everything else at the level of the poorest African countries.

they need to take jeetling orphans from the slums and put them on a meat heavy diet and force them to focus on individual sports with that being their road out of poverty, thats how i would do it anyway

Terrible nutrition on a country wide scale + no focus or incentive to do it plays a huge part. Genetics also do, most Indians are small and have frail builds (also correlated to malnutrition).

If you're thinking about Indian programmers they are maybe on par with Turkey. I'd rather deal with an eastern European any day than Indians who are almost all terrible at solving actual business issues.

where are all the uk flags?

imagine if the rest of the world cared about that shitty sport called cricket, half the country would be jumping under the juggernaut
