FIH will just be another body with no powers, and will be unable to make the game more tough for sub continent countries (ex: introduction of astro-turf due to European countries, India was poor and could not buy them, disallowed rushing in line, which was India's biggest strength against penalty corners. etc)

WSH is such a golden chance for hockey to regain its popularity in Sub Continent. Remember if Indians pick the game and like it, they are all over the world and will watch it. Hockey is not Cricket such that foreigners will find it difficult to understand. Rather this whole activity will help spread Hockey all over the world. LET WSH BE A STARTER. DON"T INTERFERE

But why would FIH want WSH to gain prominence. It would mean more money coming from India and Europe loosing its influence. Like Cricket where BCCI rules the roost, IHF would do so in Hockey
