The world is more advanced for this your claim to be true. What I can say is that they are late to embrace the game as a profession. India football federation founded the Indian super league in 2013 with 14 clubs currently participating in it. Every country has their backwards area but I can tell you that this your description is too loud to describe an evolving football federation. You cannot compare even the US football federation to that of the English or German. But this does not undermine the fact that India is seriously developing their football participation. They would eventually join the world cup maybe by 2030 because even their ban has been lifted by FIFA
LOL.. India qualifying for the FIFA World Cup? That will remain as a pipe-dream. Cricket is devouring all other sports in India. Even in regions where football used to be popular (such as Kerala and Bengal), it is losing out to cricket. The biggest issue is that the national football federation is extremely corrupt. They came up with the Indian Super League (ISL) in 2013, but at the same time they allowed the older parallel league (I-League) to continue. And this in turn negatively impacted both the tournaments.
