 The general feeling among India's liberalatti (usually also socialists, seculars and staunch defenders of the dynasty) is that goofy editorials can really fix the country. The big disconnect is between what they believe or at any rate want us to believe and what really goes on.Nothing illustrates this better than the elevation of Vidya Stokes (Age: 83) as the President of Hockey India. This is the ultimate bait and switch for a political outfit that keeps harping about its "youthful" image, albeit one reinforced mainly by dynastic leaders who do not seem to want to grow up at least in terms of responsibility. After a Bollywoodized campaign based on the youthful hockey movie "Chak De", we get a Granny with Indira Gandhi hairdo who likely never held a hockey stick in her hands. It is easy to see where this is coming from, after all the same house gave us Pratibha Patil, Navin Chawla, M.S. Gill and of course Kalmadi - the latter being a constant on the headlines these days for the comical ineptitude and jaw dropping corruption at the Commonwealth Games. If Stokes' election wasn't funny enough, the aftermath is downright hilarious. Mainly due to the torrent of secondary criticism after Stokes' election, the machine is now seeking to de-legitimize its own Hockey body! The machine will likely get away with the layer of plausible deniability supplied by a pliant media but we will know forever this wasn't by design - the election was. Why? Because editorials and glowing profiles had already been written and in the momentary loss of coordination between the body and its PR agents, some of them had actually made it to the press too! Frankly, we do not understand a lot of this, why for instance are there two Hockey organizations, why did the Govt wait until Stoke's election to de-legitimize IH? Why, within hours of his election, the Joint Secretary of IH resigned his post? If it was due to ordinance scams, why was he allowed to stand in the first place? Also, who else are charge-sheeted in the same scam? The secular party can not have it both ways - either they are fully complicit in this intriguing and distasteful business of empowering loyal members of the extended family or they are so utterly inept that a private body can masquerade as India's official Hockey organization under its very nose. Maybe we will read some more goofy editorials to find out.
