Yes, I am talking about the Indian Hockey Team, seems that every one just want to help Hockey now!

The players, who were promised to pay only 25000 for the last season, will now be very happy due to the following reasons:

- The players will now walk away with Rs 4,50,000 each.
- Sahara has declared an 'aid' of whopping Rs 1 crore, for distribution among players.
- State govt. of Punjab, MP, Maharashtra & UP have announced special financial packages for Hockey
- Bajaj Allianz promised to pay Rs 20 million while Shree Cement also came forward with a healthy package.
- Bollywood celeb like Big B, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman & singer Salma agha has showed their concern about the sports.
- Central bank has promised to pay cash awards if team performs well in the upcoming world cup.

I think someone (cricketers) is jealous!

Hockey being our national sport, the issue shouldn't have gone this far............
It is real pity that the hockey players were forced to boycott camps for Rs.25000......
It was just yesterday that the details of top income tax payers were released, many paying in crores...............
