Indians are better known for their marathon luge down the Himalayas than short track luge like in the olympics. :-)

Sleigh riding as a sport. Love it. Except they should have 3 or 4 others going down at the same time. That would make it more like real sleigh riding...

I’m pretty sure a NASCAR style luge event would end up with at least one death at most events.

I’ve heard of German Lugers, never Indian ones. Are they made under license?
