A questioner expresses his disappointment with India's performance in the Olympics, noting that the medal count has decreased from the previous games and that even Pakistan is ranked higher. He asks Acharya Prashant for the reasons behind this recurring failure. Acharya Prashant responds by stating that he needed two days to gather the facts before answering. He presents a '4C framework' to explain India's poor performance in the Olympics: Capital, Culture, Conformity, and Cricket. The first 'C' is Capital. He compares India's annual sports budget of about $415 million to China's $3.2 billion, which is roughly eight times larger. Similarly, India's sports industry is valued at about $2 billion, whereas China's is around $750 billion. This disparity extends to infrastructure; China has approximately 170,000 stadiums, most of which are multi-sport facilities, while India has only about 1,000, with the best ones dedicated solely to cricket. The second 'C' is Culture. He argues that Indian culture is one of surrender, not struggle. The common saying, "Victory and loss are part of the game," is a statement of the incompetent. He also points to the attitude towards women, noting that with 50% of Olympic medals now available to women, countries that don't encourage female athletes will lag behind. He contrasts this with the US, where women win more medals than men. Another cultural aspect is the neglect of the body, which is often seen as perishable. This leads to poor nutrition, with 16% of India's population being undernourished and 75% unable to afford healthy food. He contrasts the fitness of Indian leaders with that of figures like Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama, who are physically fit. The third 'C' is Conformity. The speaker explains that sports is an uncertain career path, and a risk-averse culture pushes people towards secure jobs. Parents often encourage sports only to secure admissions through a sports quota, not for a professional career. The fourth and final 'C' is Cricket. He states that cricket has consumed all other sports in India, with 87% of the sports industry dedicated to it. He points out that the Olympics does not even consider cricket a proper sport, as it includes breaks for lunch and tea. He concludes that until these four 'C's are addressed, the heartbreak every four years will continue, as India's medals are a result of individual brilliance fighting against the system, whereas in countries like China, the system produces champions.
