What next?
by RAKESH DOGRA on Sep 12, 2007 02:29 PM

Congratulation to Indian Hockey team for winning Asia Cup.
Players deserve good incentives and praise but nothing substantial was heard.State governments annouce big prizes,plots and what not for cricketers.Dhoni,Sehwag and Kaif and many others were given lacs of rupees and plots by their respective state governments when they played some good cricket for India.
Where are state governments.Today all Indians must be knowing Sharukh Khan's 'CHAK DE Hockey Team but most of the Indians know very littel aboutpresent Hockey stars.
Media and Govt.needs to do some thing for hockey so that young boys are attracted towards this game where India was undisputed king of the game.Let good players and sport administrators handle hockey.Govt must make a rule so that no official can have more than two terms.Use talent of people like Mr. KPS Gill to solve problem of terrorism.Make him advisor in Home Ministry but do not let him spoil hockey for such a long time.Media should give some place to hockey player on their channel so that yougsters know about them and are attracted towards hockey.
