Hockey the national game of India is a forgotten sport in India.India had its share of glory in the hockey world in the past.It was a national passion.But sadly the present state of hockey is in tatters.
In the past India had produced great players like Dhyan chand who took the game to new heights.when he played hockey the opposition never had a chance to score.Seeing his game he even was offered citizenship of Germany by Adolf Hitler, provided he played for Germany.But the patriotic man Dhyan Chand rejected the offer and preferred to stay with India.
However in the present state hockey has lost its glory.India last won the gold medal in hockey in the olympics in the 80's.This degradation in the game occured because of the lack of intrest in people,lack of sponsers and the neglect by the sports authorities.
India really need films like Chakde India for the growth of hockey in India.
