Secondly you do not know the difference of administration between Communism?vs belpuri bribery infused democratic system of India. > Mario responds: > Ed, > You first said it was because Indians ate only bhelpuri and pakoras. When I pointed out that this was nonsense and not even accurate, you now say that it is bribery. However, you seem to be obsessed with blelpuris. The last time I checked, bhelpuri and pakoras are popular in every town you mentioned that you lived in, as well as in Goa. So, am I to conclude that you are a bhelpuri and pakora eater too? > While communism and bribery may have something to do with sports in China and India, China was unable to produce world class athletes when they were far more communist and autocratic than they are now. > Besides, there are several communist countries that are not as successful as the Chinese and Russians, whereas there several countries that are successful in world class sports that are not communist. > The fact remains that an intellectual superpower like India with over a billion people, millions of whom eat a lot more than bhelpuris and pakoras, cannot routinely produce world class athletes. >
