Kill Gill

Few days back I was hooked to the interview of Mr KPS Gill on CNN-IBN. I was shocked to see the authority with which he defended blunt plea of resignation by chief-editor of the channel - Rajdeep Sardesai even after a disastrous 14 years reign over Indian Hockey which brought it to shambles. Barely 2 days later I was overjoyed to see a footnote on the very same channel which read "Gill Sacked". The impossible was made possible though better late than never. It goes on to prove of how strong are these beaurocratic institutions which run the Indian Sports committees.
These institutions did bring bad name to not even the sport but to the country as a whole. This desicion has was made on the pretext of the threat by Federation of International Hockey to take back the offer from IHF to host the world cup in 2010. This would surely have been a blow to IOC dreams of hosting the Olympics in 2010.
The icing on the cake has been the desicion to give the control for the time being to the committee which will be run by Olympians, which will be the right step in direction of reviving Indian Hockey. IOC also showed interest in building infrastructure necessary for upliftment of hockey which includes the laying of astro turfs which have been long delayed since past decades. I wonder without this basic infrastructure how Mr KPS Gill even thought of reviving the sport. Surely the promises were false since past 14 years. Phew, need i say that i am not proud being an Indian.
