HOCKEY IS NOT A NATIONAL GAME OF INDIA. PLEASE GOOGLE OR SEE WIKIPEDIA Children in school learn that hockey is the national game of India. It is also there in any book of general knowledge. Even in competitive examinations, an aspirant is expected to know that hockey is our national game. But now the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has replied to an RTI query that India has not notified any national game as such. HOCKEY is never a national game of India. Thanks to Lucknow-based 10-year-old Aishwarya Parashar to file an RTI application to the Prime Ministers Office seeking certified copies of orders related to declaration of National anthem, song, sport, animal, bird, flower and symbol. Result : Hockey is never declared as a National Game. We may be assuming Hockey, the game which fetched six consecutive Olympic gold medals, to be our national game but the fact is none of the games or sports played in the country has the status of national game.
