India had failed to qualify for the last World Cup and finished ninth in the 2010 edition.On Sunday India got a historic win over China in the women’s Hockey Asia Cup and that is undoubtedly one of the biggest title in recent years of Indian Hockey. A big congratulations to the girls as they booked their ticket to the FIH World Cup in 2018 with this win.
But the main fact is this win came after long 13 years and that too in our National game. So the question is what is the point behind not being successful in this game regularly. Is there lack of motivation or lack of infrastructure of hockey in India ? We are happy for this Asia cup win but we must not forget that India failed to qualify for the previous World Cup and ended up as the ninth ranked team in the 2010 edition of World Cup.
But we have seen in these recent years people are taking more interest in other sports also beside Cricket (As our country has become popular for great passion for Cricket ). Hope we'll get to see more success in Hockey from both of our Men and Women team.
