I feel:
1) Too much criticism doesn't help: Criticism can worry only those people who are democratically appointed because too much of it may pull them down in the next public elections. So, take it from me Gill will not be bothered at all, may what you do! The media tried in 1998 and it's 2008. Take it from me: Until and unless something happens from outside, he will do what he said,"I will not leave till the time things don't improve". You very well know it may take years for that to happen and if it improves then one should continue anyway, isn't it?
2) Talk less and do more: Why not have a "Hunger Strike" on one of the public places in Delhi? Have it like the way freedom fighters fought it with the British. Have a couple of Hockey players ready to die for the game and sit on hunger strike. Then, let's see how it doesn't shake up the Government bodies? It will charge up so much emotion from the country that the ones who come forward will become overnight mega-heros! Do it all states where the game is a cult!
3) The Power of ONE: Get all Hockey Players under one banner and do a Hockey strike in this Country? Don't touch your sticks till the time the Government doesn't respond. Go through the agony and freedom shall come your way!
But if you logic is player can only play, then, may be, you are not ready to sacrifice something!
4) Have the alternative ready: Mahatama Gandhi once said, "Resistance should always be to change things for the better. It must not be for anything else." Think about it! You are fighting for what? Gill or poor state of Hockey? If it is latter, few people should be ready with the alternate arrangement.
5) Last but not the least: Pick up a few books on Gandhian philosophy and take a few ideas and execute it.
If you believe in God, for his sake stop the empty criticism, do something constructive to move the authorities...

Oh this is total Gandhian way. I somehow cannot imagine this working in today's age.
Let us go the free-market way and open the sector for private participation.
I wish there was one more Subhash Chandra who could go against the official body (IHF) and promote the game.
ICL may not be that fancy as IPL, but still if they can provide turfs to play on and money at the end of the game, so many youngsters would be interested in playing for them.
And yes, I would say do it for the love of the game. This country has many other things to bother about.
THIS SOO NOT GONNA WORK
players sacrificing?????????
good joke!!!!!
Check out their performance in the premier hockey league and their indian tem performance
Zameen Aasmaan ka farkh hey!!!!!!!!
at such state of affairs nothing can be done hockey becomes a profession!!!!!!!
Wel as a fan i can quote the altered version of Brutus's dialogue in Julius Caesar and keep to my word
"If it aught to be towards the general good of hockey
Set hockey in one eye and death in the other
I shall look upon both indifferently
For let the god so speed upon me
For I love to see the promotion of hockey more than I fera DEATH!"
