They still got mentality of colonial era and they still think world is their maker England's slave. Let it be Cricket or Hockey their attitude towards asians especially subcontinentals is still 200 years old. Best solution for this is develop hockey as well just like cricket and show these people their place.

I saw ex Hockey aces of India like Zafar Iqbal, MR Negi terribly upset over the decision and expressed their deep anguish against FIH over it.
India's greatest hockey players like Zafar, Shahid, Mervyn, Kaushik, Dhanraj were worst victimns of FIH to weaken the Indian hockey.
But time has changed and FIH must change its perspectives now. Like Cricket, World Hockey too is fast taking shape to make India its Power Centre.

FIH, forget the old times when you used to punish Asian teams, particularly India, for your vested interests. The time has changed.
I saw all TV News channel solidly behind Indian hockey team, totally unprecedented !! Shivendra os totally innocent and his play was absolutely fair in the game.
Coach Jose Brasa is absolutely right in criticizing FIH for this conspiracy to weaken Team India. Its very good that we have a brave coach for the first time.
I have watched the whole match completely without even taking toilet break and had seen that incident in which Shivendra unintentionally and purely accidently hit Fareed even Fareed shouted that its a foul only to get a favor for their team but it is in no way as grave as 3 match penalty for it... I feel pitty that people like Ken Read is actually tournament director... Shame on you !! Boooooooo !!

I saw the video repeated many times on TV channels today. There was nothing wrong that Shivendra did. He overtook the Pak player and it was all a fair game.
Time and again FIH has been conspiring against Indian Hockey team and this one will not be tolerated. Indian Coach has severely criticized the decision and Hockey India has appealed against this id1otic decision.
I am a great fan of Indian team and sincerely hope that Shivendra's suspension is revoked and he plays today's most critical match against Australia.
Team India, please hit hard against this sinister decision, hit back hard and continue the same form to win all matches in this World cup.
