We Indians are giving too much importance to the game of cricket.Other sports are suffering due to lack of funds/Funds being blocked in cricket.Hockey is our national game,wat position is India in Hockey?We have won the cricket world cup just once in 1983, but Anand has been the world champion in Chess more than once.Why is it that only cricket hits the headlines in newspapers and web sites?Its time we start to realize that cricket is not the only sport and other games that require equal importance.Pls note that India with a population of >100 crores is not number 1 in any of the games/sports other than Chess.Its time for us and the sponsors to rethink the priorities...

Why do you like a Sharukh movie than Saif Movie or vice versa. Why do you like Kishore Kumar more than Mahendra Kapoor or vice versa. The dress of the players the ambience, the aristocracy make people more inclined to the game of circket. It is a matter of personal choice. How can you try to uselessly force something on somebody? Not done.

Im not trying to force anybody...its just a thought that tooooo much hype is created towards 1 game,while there are equally talented/better players in other sports too.Other games/aports need our support too.You bank on 1 game that ur not even good at...I know its hurting but its true.
