What a great performance by Indian Hockey team yesterday. It was a delight to watch India beating France 8 to 1.
However, it is saddening to know that our National Hockey Team players are paid very low, Even in London they will be paid only $50 per day, whereas our cricket players are paid huge sums even for loosing or even not playing. It's not that I have anything against Cricket, I have enjoyed some great moments of Cricket along with rest of the country. But I think we have not been fair to Hockey at all.
Today even a child can tell names of all players in Indian Cricket team, whereas it is difficult to find any one who can tell names of our Hockey players. Kids know all the rules of cricket by heart, but not many will have same knowledge about Hockey
What is the reason? Why are we all so biased towards Cricket? And what's wrong with Hockey?
I propose lets all give Hockey a fair chance, and try to know the game again, We have won the Olympics Gold in hockey 8 times, which is highest till date. We still have it in us to become world champions of Hockey. Let's tell this to everyone.
Chalo "Fir dil do hockey ko"
Yours Sincerely
