Everytime the Indian hockey team do some marvels at home, there is the rhetoric of the Indian national hockey team on a resurgent graph. Come on, whom are we trying to fool now? The hockey administration has ensured that they have written the last hurrah of Indian hockey, long long ago. It is time to think of ourselves as World Champions or Olympic Champions of an ancient era, and the mantle has now passed on to other more promising nations, where the corruption in their hockey administration is less blatant. We have politicians and bureaucrats who run the game from their air - conditioned chambers, while not one of them have wielded the stick on the turf. Their babu like wand has now led our national game to national shame. Imagine, a man of the stature of Jyotikumaran did not have the courtesy to even go and shake hands with Dhanraj Pillay, after the stalwart of many Indian forays in the hopeless field of Indian hockey had fought relentlessly to salvage some pride back. He did not go and acknowledge the contributions of the great player, and instead resorted to petty politics so well known to all of us in the sub - continent. Jyotikumaran perhaps had a personal score to settle with an often loud mouthed and frank person like Dhanraj. What Indian lost in Dhanraj, has not been gained in Jyotikumaran. That is the sad truth of the story and no one seems wiser still. Hockey is now the last priority in the minds of our sports ministers or the administrators, who are busy minting.
