You mean Native American or Basmati Indian?

[Bassackwards]

lack of exposure and not enough money to draw in the talent. also, you have to be pretty crazy and confident to want to get into a fight. i train bjj, but i'd never want to get into a ring and get punched/kicked in a ring.

Basmati

Because they probably come from families that push a worthy career, e.g. pharmacy, doctor, lawyer. No racism or offense meant at all, more of an honest observation. Indian brahs seem to grow up with cricket. It's like why there aren't as many top pro American soccer players, they don't grow up playing/practising the sport within their culture.

strong this. I grew up with a lot of Indians and one were ever even remotely pushed to sports, in fact it was really the opposite.

Activities like MMA are considered lower level activities in the caste system. There are a billion guys over there and they are all trying to land a good job to land a good wife. They arent doing any activities outside of achieving those goals much less any activities that lower their status. My understanding is the only type of physical combat that is viewed as acceptable or has a high ranking in the caste system is that of Kshatriya (warriors/Sikh)...

Its not a racial issues its a cultural/religious issues....

Cricket doesn't equal fighting

Alot of denial in this thread and downplaying of genes. No matter how hard we train we are not going to become elite Nba players, boxers, sprinters or mma fighters. Any thing that requires physical exertion or stamina is not our forte, just the cold truth.
