Will happen.

I'm already seeing major improvements in grassroot level in Football centric cities.

Aggregation of NRI's who manage to make into National sides of major football-centric nations (no less) France, Netherlands, Hungary, shows it's not a 'out of bounds' prediction.

If football makes cricket look like a queer parade, Sepak takraw makes football look like ringa-ringa-roses.

A balance of physique and technique, matched with ever changing tactical choices = Sport.

I find it all very compromised in Cricket to consider it a Sport.

Yeah. What speed, what agility....can u imagine the body-flexibility.
Badminton I laugh at you - lazy wimps, standing on your feet and having all the time in the world to hit a slow feather with graphite.

K-G until schools pick it up and the sport offers a viable financial incentive..I don't foresee any major change..with TV going more digital India can aspire to rival whole of Europe in club following/viewership by 2050.
