How can we promote other sports other than cricket in India? India seems to be stuck with cricket.

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Yes, so many people stand and watch only two people playing. In that sense I think soccer is most engaging game, everybody is active on the field. Though cricket increases your alertness, you have to be alert to catch the ball at any time.
We should promote our Indian games like Kho Kho, Kabbadi, etc. Our village games are very good, so we should encourage them.
