This is not only happening in India its also case of many developed countries as women have not enough things like men becasue its male dominent society so they are still fighting for good break through in sports just indivual sports ladies have some better name but in team events its not easy for them.
I am not sure about this statement in this era, if it is competitive then you will have the fans and the sponsorship, take a look at Tennis, MMA, Badminton, Track and Field, Volleyball as well as Beach Volleyball and i bet everyone will be watching the Woman's Beach Volleyball than Men's

and Woman dominate in the field of Gymnastics and Swimming and you still think that it is just a male dominated sports.
