3.Traitor for the Critics, Hero for me
In the 1982 Asian Games, X was the goalkeeper for the India national field hockey team
in the final field hockey match against Pakistan. India lost 1-7, which
brought "unprecedented humiliation for India in a sporting arena. The
nation went into a mourning and X into hiding. X was accused in
some quarters of having conceded those goals."
Of the event, journalist Anand Philar stated, "I had covered the 7-1
drubbing Pakistan handed out to India in the 1982 Asian Games final,
which turned goalkeeper X's life upside down. He was literally
pilloried by armchair critics, the media and an ignorant public for
letting in so many goals. Some of the tabloids even ran headlines crying
out that Pakistan had bribed X and that he was a 'traitor.'"
