Indian Hockey Freezes in Chile

Can you believe India eight times gold medal winners in Olympics,fail to qualify first time in 80 years. It was a black Monday 10th March 2008 for the Indian Hockey team which lost to Great Britain 0-2,thus failed to qualify for the forthcoming Beijing Olympics.

Till date India has won 8 gold ,2 bronze and one silver medals since 1928 Olympic Games. The gold medals were won twice in hat-trick in 1928 , 1932 and 1936 than again in 1948,1952 and 1958.

After such a fabulous achievement is the game dieing in India ?
The sports ministry is responsible for the debacle ?
The Indian Hockey Federation is responsible?

To save the game the above questions needs to be scrutinised.
