I keep seeing it on BBC, but I never caught the report from the beginning. Is it basically about India being dirty?

Yeah. The place is filthy and the facilities for the athletes are apparently not up to standard. There are also some security risks.

I read a news article about it, and it's a ton of problems:

Security (a Muslim group recently claimed responsibility for a tourist being shot)

A bridge and a ceiling collapsed at the games' building.

Excrement in the rooms.

They had seven years to get ready, but little work was done until 2008.

Some countries are still debating whether to send their teams or not. This is quite pathetic on an international level. India is not the best part of the world, but it still have the resources to cover such things.

Agreed. It is only a month away and they are rushing to have everything ready. It's just the commonwealth games, its not like its the Olympics, they didn't need to make everything look beautiful just suitable which they certainly would have been able to. It's also likely to cause problems in case India would like to host another sporting event in the future like the World Cup or the Olympics.

It has nothing with India being dirty. The main problems. -Security, or lack thereof. And numerous threats made recently, as well as the terrorist attacks which occured there within the past 3-4 years. -Facilities. The current facilities are not up to code or not even built. A lot of the funds have been pocketed by management, with them spending only a pittance on the actual construction.

"The BBC has obtained pictures from inside the village showing flooding, leaking toilets, dirty bathrooms, incomplete apartments and animal paw prints on beds." LINK Yes it does.

Dirty isn't the reason I've seen. Security and incomplete facilities are the reasons I've read about and seen. If the dirtiness is a factor, it would be the facilities and not "omg India dirty!"

No one's freaking out about the state of India just this particular area is quite dirty. Participating nations have been very concerned over hygiene of the area because it is very dirty.

I would pull a team of athletes in a heartbeat after seeing those pics. India had seven years' notice for these games.

No matter how poor and low a country is, it should never appear like this in such formal events. Beside, India is not a country to be taken lightly in terms of economy and military power. This is, and I quote BBC, "National disgrace".

It was all over the Australian news this week that an Australian news crew were able to purchase explosives, detanators, and smuggle them into the main arena.

Frankly I think it would be better if the Games don't even happen. The last thing we need is another terrorist attack on foreigners..
