As per the Supreme Court order and the new constitution, the AIFF is now run by an elected body, with the Executive Committee holding the charge. But from where I stand in the Sikkim Football Association, the real running of Indian football still feels dictated by the demands and finances of the big corporate-backed ISL clubs. My saano state association struggles with even arranging quality bamboo for goalposts, while the national agenda is set by those with deep pockets. It reminds me of my weaving, where the market price is set by those who can afford the bulk bamboo, not by us small artisans keeping the patterns alive.
