Before 1983 in India Hockey was the undisputed sport that was like, watch and had passion among Indian public as game, incidentally Hockey is India’s national game also, but after 1983 it start loosing its shine from Indian mind and heart because of pathetic performances’ in world’s top tournaments by Indian hockey team and once top and best Hockey team of the world ,it was in reverse order and freely sliding downwards, because in changing scenario of world’s hockey ,Indian hockey was unable to come out from its conventional mold on right time but on other hand with its strength, technique and innovative new effective playing methods European team take control and crown from Asia. It was first time that Indian Hockey even fails to qualify for the Beijing Olympiad held in the year 2008 which points itself where Indian hockey stands in the world right now. After victory in the ODI format of Cricket World Cup, suddenly cricket left behind all the sports in India as far fan following is concern and become unofficially National game of India and India become cricket fanatic country of the world where cricketers gets huge money, name & fame and highest respect whose example is Sachin Tendulakar, within almost one quarter of centaury ,cricket achieves new heights as sports in India, and that is the reason other sports’ players and administrators feel and complaints of ignorance by public in India .
In the Beijing Olympics held in the year 2008 it was sad that Indian proud and national game was unable to qualify, but at the same time Indian comes into limelight in individual sports like in shooting Mr. Abinav Bhindra won gold medal not only for himself but it was also very first time that any Indian won gold medal in the Olympics, along with him Mr. Vijender Singh won silver medal in 75 kg category and after Olympics he is improving his world ranking and in the month of September,2009 he become first Indian to be ranked number one, in the Beijing Olympics our one wrestler also won bronze medal, No doubt these players have to go miles to make there respective sports equivalents to cricket, but their performances’ in the world arena giving confidence and faith to every India that the day is not far away.
Tehran, capital of Iran is presently hosting Asian Youth Boxing Championship and Indian Boxers are performing impressively as five boxers in their categories reaches final, it mean that five silver medals are sure but if they keep on performing the way they performed in their previous rounds then they can win gold medal also and four boxers have won bronze medal, detail of all the boxers are –

and winner of bronze medal are-
