Develop sports economy. It makes economic sense. What better a profession than being a sportsman ? You are paid to stay fit and in shape, you become popular, you live a healthy life, you get a lot of time to have fun, and earn good money, and be a good citizen. Sports economy in the USA is worth $1 trillion to economic output annually.
Interesting stats
Olympic Gold medals won by country since 1896 to 2007 overall
USA 896 USSR 395 Italy 182 France 184 Sweden 142 China 112 India 9
Amazingly these very countries also are developed and citizens are richer as compared to bottom countries in Olympics medal table.

There is nothing called 'Hinduism', as it is not an 'organized religion' whose failure was realized in Europe when 'renaissance' happened they became secular and in America with their 'constitution' and Jefferson's writings. The Chinese and Japanese where always secular in their life & approach. The similarities of all these thoughts can also be found in the Upanishads. Unfortunately, Islam could not break free of the shackles of organized religion which the West could as they had the influence of the Greeks. The Far East nations had the influence of Confucious, Buddha, Lao-Tzu & even Communism. Hence, there is nothing to convert to; as the whole progressive world is secular and follows Uniform Civil Code. Every developed country in the world is secular and follows one-law and the best practices across imaginary organized religions, genders, and all other time-wasting divisions. Religion is One. Human Body, Mind, Human Spirit & Human Creativity, Gender Equality are the only religious attributes worth pursuing. Rest are all questionable and wasting one's energy and destroying oneself. Muslims (not generalizing as people have not chosen their religion) need to understand that their religion has caused them more harm than good. The earlier they break free of their self-righteous, status-quo mentality, and accept Uniform Civil Code, the more they will benefit and progress and will join the great creative force of humanity and enjoy life in general. This will end the untold misery

Jalaludin That will be great. but In India people dont even have a decent track to do jogging. Most of the public park tracks are occupied by stray dogs and monkeys. Sports is great . Some how we should encourage people to play volly ball, tennis etc in addition to cricket. At least it is good for their mental and physical health.
