National Shame or National Game.
by sameer ranadive on Mar 10, 2008 06:24 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The Sports Ministry should take the Prime responsibility for the Fall from Golden Era.
The sports ministry has done megere to support and promote its National Sport.
Its a National Shame.
Secondly the person sitting at the Helm of affairs Mr Gill is the culprit.
The solution lies in Having the right people at the top, to make proper infrastructure and inculcate habit in young people to play Hockey.
Only then will our National Game survive.

When Mani Shankar Iyer is asked about this, he says IHF is a autonomous body, so he cannot do anything,. may be we have to tell him MR. Iyer HOCKEY IS OUR NATIONAL SPORT.

So what if it is the national sport? Some bureaucrats decided that. I don't recall Hockey being elected as the national sport - it is just a decision taken by some people behind some desk.
