My son said something about an Indian government shakedown that might have kept it from being televised.
I don't know what the reference point is, but I will bet that if it is organized well in those countries, that means the private sector managed the event. If the organization was botched up, the government controlled it.
We should not be smug about our governments not botching up the organization of events because our governments swallow huge amounts of money compared to the Asians while organizing events. That too is one form of botching up.
