Announcement: New Series on ‘Hockey India’ Mess

S2H ANNOUNCEMENT:

A bold new series on the prevailing Hockey India mess, created and sustained by Indian and global vested interests, will come up in the site soon.

The constitution of Indian Hockey Federation (IHF) never says its an association exclusively for men’s hockey administration. It’s the IHF in the 40s that encouraged women to form their own as it was felt at that point of time that its an act of empowerment of women.

The IHF has given more Gold at the Olympics than the combined tally of all other sports coming under the umbrella of the Indian Olympic Association. Morally therefore the IOA cannot dictate and decide the fate of Indian Hockey Federation.

Therefore, the Series highlights the history why the women have to join back the Indian Hockey Federation; to have a new body and then call it by any name like Hockey India is the right of the IHF to think and decide. No right thinking Indian can submit to any world body more so the FIH which in the past bent backwards to sabotage Indian hockey using the vexed India-Pak political relations.

Against the backdrop, the Series would also analyse motives behind the FIH’s untimely and unilateral acts thrusting something which it tolerates in other countries but forces here will be thoroughly analysed. We will also seek an answer who is the culprit, the FIH or the IOA.

And let us understand how the FIH hold India to ransom in the name of World Cup which India never bid in the first place.

The series would further let you know how a vicious circle of bureaucrats and politicians constantly work hand in hand to see that no businessman ever comes into the Olympic sports administration.

In the last one month we could not do justice to this current topic due to Junior World Cup and other competitions; of course hockey on turf is more important than anything else.

The Series tries to cover up whatever was missed by the site and also by the other media.
