How hard is it to be an International Master (IM) and Grandmaster (GM) in chess

Any things is not easy and not to hard to get now a a days but when we are talking about chess or and other sports one's need to be very decipline and hardworking toward his or her career. Like other sports it is also difficult to get any title in chess. We can understand this situation by the facts that since so far we have only 120 IM and 64 GM in India.
