No, I will not blame British but after Independence Babus and Netas did biggest damage or completly destroyed.
In my and extended family, sports is always a big part. Family had atleast 8-9 competed in National level, 1 in Asiad, 2 competed international. They are in every sports - Swimming, Table Tennis, Hockey, Basket ball, Volley Ball and Billards.
I have seen frustration, hurdles and all type nonsense.
In Talkatora Stadium, Delhi, my distant cousin died during practice when someone jumped over him. That was main stadium in Delhi, and water was always muddy. Coach ignored whole thing.
Pool where I started learning was muddy and floor with all green grass, I remember we cleaned up whole pool spending three days. I don't know current status, but those days pool were without filters and chlorine in pool was luxory.

National Stadium facilities are horrible.

For competition, costumes, rackets and other appratus from US, oh yes as a gift from relatives. <!--emo&--><img src='style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
