CHAK DIA INDIA NE
Finally India won world cup which all of were waiting for the long time. Actually it was 1st world cup for my age group of youngsters living in India.
I soon realized that every paper is mentioning “CHAK DE INDIA” and writing about cricket , Times of India flooded 6 pages with the news of cricket just after that day, Hindustan times Delhi edition filled 5 pages. Even regional papers filled as much they could do.
I wasn’t astonished by the media behavior because I was expecting this much of shits in Papers, TV etc. but soon I was in history of events. And I remembered that Indian hockey team won Asian cup just few days back, and what media did for them… they just published few lines.. Yes few lines… some might had published 3-4 paragraphs but not more than it was in any paper.
Ok done … it’s a part of life and players have their own status level…
Today I was reading news on REDIFF and to shame for all there was one news in which senior hockey players are ready to go on hunger strike… feeling sorry for them.. yes you should be… today we have made cricket as unofficial national game of this country on the coffin of national game of our country.
I am neither a fan of hockey nor of cricket, but really this news has shocked me. The condition of hockey team is not so bad; in fact they are winning much more matches than cricket team. Proof to my statement is their latest game in Asian cup. They did everything could to do bring pride of our country back to India.
But alas neither state or Indian government nor media encouraged them for there historic victory. CHAK DE INDIA movie had shown reality but at least it is a duty of our government to promote this game… what our state governments are doing... They are giving 5-10 lacs to per player of cricket team (who are already flooded by other organization, publicity and sponsors). SHAME ON GOVERNMENTS on this policy.
I wish some one read it and take action for our national players (not of cricket but of hockey and other sports).
Jai hind
Even on searching about Indian hockey team , google has started to show maximum results on movie
What a great development of national game
