I am from Odisha and I am glad that our state is leading the front in this sports. It's a good way to leverage the sporting talent at grassroot level.

India's dominance in hockey ended with the introduction of artificial turf. It is heart warming to see the revival of the game, especially in tribal areas. I am sure Indian National team will do very well in 2024 Paris Olympics. All the best. Excellent video.

[@SimonFranck100]

It began well before astro turf. 1972 Munich was played on grass, as was the 1982 World Cup (where India finished 5th) in Bombay. It's true, though, that artificial turf gives affluent "white" countries a big advantage.

Al Jazeera showing positive stories from remote Odisha but without propaganda? IMPOSSIBLE. 22:05 For Non-Odia viewers, 'Khasi' in Odia means a Goat for mutton. Unlike in Europe where lamb is more common for meat, in Odisha, Goat is preferred over sheep. It's called the 'Khasi Tournament' because the winner gets goats for mutton. 'Khasi Mansa' is a popular dish in Odisha. What Al Jazeera Missed: 1. Al Jazeera should have also talked about Dilpeep Tirkey and William Xalco who are national heroes and belong to tribal communities of Odisha. Dileep Tirkey captained the Indian hockey team. At least they covered Amit Rohidas! 2. Al Jazeera didn't talk about the initiatives of ex-Odisha CM Naveen Pattanaik who was a Hockey goalkeeper himself. It is because of his initiatives that hockey revived in India. Odisha is sponsoring Hockey India till 2036. 3 of the last 4 Hockey World Cups have been held in Odisha. Conclusion: The introduction of astroturf in the 1970s, the lack of astroturf infrastructure in India, and corruption killed Indian hockey after 1980. India could have won a GOLD in the 2024 Paris Olympics. We had to settle for Bronze. Next time GOLD!

When the sport of Hockey has no problem from where the player comes. In Cricket, discrimination is very much common among its own national players. State, region, caste and language are some of the main reasons. When Hockey gave India a wall from the small state of Kerela, ...
