Guys, before i start writing about it read few lines in here: -

India Vs Russia8-0 (India wins)
Prabhjot Singh, who is in tremendous form, did the star turn for the Indians, scoring three goals (19th, 29th, 65th minutes) while Dilip Tirkey (14th), Tushar Khandekar (36th), Sardara Singh (48th) and V Ramachandra Raghunath (54th) accounted for the others
Still no mention of them in any cover of any newspaper, are we doing justice to these unsung heroes. Remember our cricket team was in shades until picked up by right set of guys and followed up by frenzy crouds. I do not understand why we arent following hockey which is a quick paced game where fortunes turn at a flick or a drag.
We are beating teams fair and square for quiet sometime now and all that the team gets is a quiet ride in autorickshaw back to their home. So unlike of a country that treats cricket players like demi gods and takes out processions not to mention showering of money if they win any game.
Ok,i agree that our hockey team is not the best in world but neither is our cricket team. Apart from that, even the smallest kid in the block would know dhoni but does anyone even think about prabhjot who is leading like a hero...
pathetic state of affairs.. i dont mind calling this country a rascist country.. so what if we do not differentiate by the color of skin, we definitely do it when it comes to our national game.
for all those people who remember cricket team by heart.. please take some time off and read below the details of indian hockey team that is playing its hearts out to secure the national honor of making it to beijing olympics.
Wake up guys and support them.. they need it...
