Unfortunately the standards that we have set for ourselves in our sports is much below when compared to the western nations. We don't have any sporting culture. The mess that is there in the various sporting associations in india, including the indian olympic association, indian athletics federation, indian football association, Indian hockey fedearion etc are all examples of the anarchy and chaos that exists in our sporting system. The mess that the IOA has landed themselves in or the fight between indian hockey federation and hockey india shows that the future of our sports also doesn't look encouraging by any means

I agree with you... We will see improvements ONLY if the politicians are barred from assuming high positions in sports bodies.
But hats off to the India Hockey team for reaching the SFs inspite of all this
