INDIAN HOCKEY FEDERATION (IHF) VS HOCKEY INDIA.
Indian Hockey federation (IHF) was formed in 1925 to control and regulate the game of
Hockey in India. It joined the International Hockey Federation (FIH) in 1927. The Indian Olympic Association (IOA) was formed in 1927. That means the Indian Hockey Federation
is in existence even before the formation of IOA.
On 28th April,2008 ,the IOA passed resolution suspending the governing council of the
IHF and formed an adhoc committee to administer the affairs of the IHF. Now,the question
arises what prompted IOA to supercede the IHF?. Now,the International Hockey federation
(FIH) in their 41st Statutory Congress held at the Hilton Hotel Los Angeles on November,2008
unanimously approved the transfer of membership from IHF to Hockey India even before it was legally born. The Hockey India was registered under the Societies Registration Act,1860 on
May,20,2009 vide registration number 65668,2009. Mr.S.M.Aslam Khan,Ms.Vidya Stokes & Ms.Amrit Bose attended the meeting of FIH from India.The moot question is were they representing the IHF or Hockey India(Which was not born then)?.
If these things happen,one wonders the fate of the sports in India.
