Is cricket killing other sports in India?

"YES, cricket is indeed killing other sports in India. People of India treat cricket as their fifth Veda or fourth Religion after Hinduism, Islam & Christianity. Cricket is not our national game, but it is celebrated as a festival, thanks to our Board, Government, sponsors and the media.

I am just responding to the regular question posed by the other sports lovers. I would say it's not just about cricket. Any sport would get that charm, craze, fame if it proves it's mettle.

If you take the example of boxing, current olympic bronze winner. Now everybody talks about them. Just a matter of proving the game. People will definetely follow that sport.
