A glance at the following link makes all of it clear.

Frustration of our hockey players found a temporary solace and they are back to practice. Not very long ago iconic P T Usha got humiliated. India’s finest woman chess player and world no. 2, Koneru Humpy is having her share of problems with Chess Federation. Now, Abhinav Bindra wants to quit out of frustration!
What our sports federations and government fail to understand is that international sports, like higher education of international standards, need a special focus. They should be in safe hands of people who understand what it takes to be a sportsperson of international standards. Only in the hands of those who can empathize with sportspersons and respect their individual needs to achieve at international arena. They need freedom to perform and excel.
I guess the comparison of international sports with higher education of international standards is fair. If anything, in international sports, the shelf life is much shorter.
One must admit that our senior politicians like N D Tiwari, however, do excel in the only sport which Indians are familiar i.e., the one confined to bedroom.
