Rajeev you are right in pointing out that we lack initiative and strategic intent. Here I would like to mention that like hockey where we faded out slowly as the world picked up hockey similar fate will come to cricket when China, USA and others will start taking cricket seriously. May be after next 20 years you will write India fails to qualify in cricket for Olympics. Here I would like to remind everybody that in 1952 Asian games India won the Gold medal and now we are placed at 133rd position. This will keep happening if we mix politics with sports. all sports federations like Hockey, football, cricket fedaretions are headed by dirty politicians. India badminton coach asked for the same shuttle which will be used during Beijing Olympics and sports ministry took more than 11 months to provide.
