State of Sports Administration in India and Importance of Sports Leagues

India desperately needs cricket and hockey leagues in line with sports leagues in Europe and America. Sports administration in India is rotten to the core. It is not much different from Indian polity and only slightly better than the warlord style politics of Africa.

What is a league system:
Before discussing why India needs a league system in cricket and hockey (though hockey already got the remarkable PHL), I will try to lay down the hallmarks of a typical European and American league system.

English Language and Indians

Indians, including myself, face a peculiar challenge during debates and conversations of any significance. English, the language of choice for intellectual expression for most of the Indians, is a foreign tongue. Therefore then it is no surprise that we are unable to articulate our thought when it matters the most in a conversation. Instead of a fluid flow of ideas from the brain to the tongue, we are mostly trying to avoid embarassment of not being able to speak good English. Instead of addressing subtleties and nuances what we end up with are arguments that deal with the topic of discussion at a very superficial level. Can any debate of substance take place when the language of choice is such an impediment to flow of ideas? English is a barrier to communication for Indians..paradoxically!
