Dhanraj is absolutely right when he says that the Sports Minister should dissolve both the HI and IHF as the power hungry members of both these federations are hell bent on ruining the National sport hockey. Enough is enough. The sports minister has tried a lot to unite these two federations but both are adamant and the only option left now is to dissolve both.
He is right on spot. It makes sense that sports authorities should have sportspersons. I would say we should even have retired sportspersons as sports ministers . They can be inducted through Rajyasabha.
In!dian Hockey downfall started with tussle between Indian Hockey Federation and Indian Olympic Association( led by Raja Bhalindra Singh) as they both wanted to have a final say in selection of Hockey team for Olympics ! Consequently due to favoritism they destroyed Indian Hockey.
the two boards need to be dissolved to form a new admn unit. However, can Pillay put a finger on one problem and say this is it? This is the problem of Indian Hockey? There are a host of issues some within our control and many outside of it. As I see it our players do not have skills, Physique and committment required to play on astro turf. Their style is now redundant. A Womens team from europe may give a tough time to our mens team on Astro Turf. It looks like a match between school children and collage boys when India plays the White teams.Hopeless indeed.
Our dynamic IOC chairperson wanted to rush to London after enjoying great hospitality of his political bosses in Tihar. There he was constantly worried about our Olympic misadventure and after coming out, he wanted to rush to London to increse our medal count, but Ajay Makan and other short sighted people put the obstacle and stopped him. We only kept crying in badminton, boxing, but prevented our only 'diplomat'from going to London. He would have bettered our fortunes?????
sir honestly we need people like you to be part of the system,,,otherwise the story will repeat itself at every olympics every asian games..feel sorry for hockey...serously need you to be incharge of the things...

It is more than 15,000 people according to TV reports.If Amul Baby goes to a Dalit's house for 10 minutes it is Prime Time News for our Congress loving TV channels.Anna and Ramdev are enemies of Congress so they are not covered unless like last time when 5 Ministers had gone to the airport to receive Ramdev Baba.
