What is Hockey?Why can't it become the common chord to connect all Indians?
With less than 2 days remaining in the start of The World Cup Hockey, some questions are troubling my mind. These are as under:

>>What is Hockey?
>>Is it a Game only or is it the National Game of India?
>>If the second question has answer in affirmative, then how come this not being the chain of Unity for Indians?
Questions have answers too:
>> Hockey is a game, which once used to be the game of Indians, has gone on to become a game of ignored Indian sportsperson now.It is similar to an aging superstar who has slipped out of his stardom.
>> It is the National Game of India, but again we Indians seem to be less interested in the issues, aspects of national importance. This is the reason behind the poor economic state of the Hockey players.
>> With the invent of media as the fourth biggest stakeholder of time of the Indian public, the Indians are made more interested in results than the preparation for those results. This is leading the Hockey to the slope downwards, because it is yet to show some consistent results.
Reasons are evident with newly got media exposure to Hockey players, all on sad grounds. Change is said to be only permanent thing, but can Hockey be a beneficiary of some change, is a change to watch for in future.
