The Indian Hockey Team is playing the qualifying rounds for the Olympics at the moment. Don t you think that it is something insulting for the team, that dominated the world of Hockey for a long time? What according to you, can be done to retain that dominance?

This is indeed insulting for the Indian Hockey to play in the qualifying rounds for the Olympics, considering the fact that India once won six straight Olympic Gold Medals. However, everything changes with due course of time, unfortunately the fate of Indian Hockey has gone towards the worse side. But I think the condition can still be improved if the Indian Hockey authorities pay more attention in bringing up newer talents from the remote areas of India.

In my opinion, politics and bribery is the downfall of all sporting events in India. As such, any form of politics should be totally eradicated from the sporting bodies of India. Opportunities should be given to the deserving athelete immaterial from which state he comes from. There should not be any kind of discrimination or favouritism in any sporting bodies if India wants to regain its glory in the Sporting World arena.
