mockery of the national game

I start with an imaginative incident which may be true .A teacher asks a student what is our national game most of the students who have not gone through their textbooks properly they think its cricket but dont answer because they are not sure since they have not read the text and those who have read the text they know its Hockey they know their answer is right but still they do not answer because they too are not sure because they think it should be cricket and not hockey.I dont know how many people can make a sense of what i am saying hence i think i should talk straight and quote facts.If we consider a national team hockey player he gets a monthly of 500 for playing and a cricketer for being a part of the squad gets 1,60,000 obviously both the figures are in indian rupee i think most of you now realise that i am talking about recent payment crisis taken up by the national team players just a month before the hockey world cup to be held in india .The issue is serious if these facts are true and hence cant be ignored.the things came more in to the limelight when shahrukh the poster boy of hockey after chak de india commented on twitter about this issue and said" his heart sympathises for the game and players" but i want to say that the legendary actors heart sympathises for hockey but his mind and money still holds a cricket bat with his recent bussiness venture kolkatta knight riders .The situation is grim everyone talks and just makes mockery of the national game i hardly think that any of these people or authorities are really serious about the fate of the game which got us 8 olympic golds.Hope" god gives some sunshine for the national game" just as it did for three idiots.
