India is the country where sports is given a lot of importance and the sports minister spend a hell lot of money on indian as well as international sports and its practice. Sports is the best way to workout and people are becoming more and more incline towards this sports and this is the reason why so many international events takes place in india. Most of the international sporting events annually held in India that includes Chennai Open, Mumbai Marathon, Delhi half Marathon as well as the Indian Masters.
I think conducting such events would create awareness about various sports as well as sports persons in India. And broadcasting such events via the media can help encourage the young minds to move towards sports instead of getting along the senile activities.
