Hockey was the most famous game of India in the past.India were champs in it and won 8 olympic gold medals.due to a number of factors,hockey's popularity gradually declined and was overtook by cricket and most recently football.

Hockey has been our national game of our past,present and will be in the future.It is symbolic and will not be changed.we can only try to improve it's condition in India not ignore it
