.WHAT A STRUGGLE....................... WHO IS MAJOR DHYAANCHAND??? 1) Before Independence when INDIA went on an Olympic tour, INDIA won 3 Olympic Gold medals in Hockey. ... In Olympic games we played 48 games and won all of them.... 2) INDIA was unbeatable in Hockey for 20 years..... We defeated America in all the matches and since then America banned Hockey for the next few years.... Can you imagine what an achievement it was.... 3) Shree Dhyaanchand was among those who made Hitler his fan and he requested to accept Germany citizenship and play for Germany... In return he will get as much money as he desired and a he will also be head of his Army... Can you imagine Hitler offered him... But he refused saying he does not play for money, but for the country..... 4) How he made Hitler his fan....when he went to Germany for Hockey world cup he was injured by Germany goalkeeper... In return he ordered his teammates to take revenge... Can you imagine someone challenging German citizen in front of Hitler....He bypassed the ball from Goal keeper but didnt make a goal.... This was the biggest shame for Germany and Hitler was impressed by his answer.. 5) There was a match when he didnt score a single goal..On this he argued with match referee that the goal post length is short because I cant do a goal....this was found correct and goal post length was increased..latter he scored 8 goals... What does it mean... It means he was so sure that if he cant score a single goal in a match then there must be something wrong... 6) HE WAS THE ONLY INDIAN WHO HOISTED INDIAN FLAG BEFORE INDEPENDENCE, THAT TOO NOT IN INDIA BUT IN GERMANY ....WE WERE RULED BY BRITISHERS AND NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE OUT FLAG....HE HIDE THAT IN HIS NIGHT DRESS AND TOOK IT TO GERNANY...IT REQUIRES A LOT OF GUTS.....ON THIS BRITISHERS ANNOUNCED IMPRIOSENMENT, BUT HITLER DIDNT LET THIS HAPPEN.... 7) During his last time he became so poor that he didnt have money to have food.... Again he was offered a coach post by America and Germany. But he refused saying that if he teaches Hockey to them, than INDIA will no more be a champion in Hockey.. But our govt didnt offer him anything....It was INDIAN ARMY who helped him.... Once upon a time he went to see a Hockey match in Ahmedabad, but was not allowed to enter inside stadium, saying that we dont recognize you??? That game was attended by Jawaharlal Nehru.... 9) Finally cricket icon Sir Don Bradman said Im a fan of Dhyanchand. He scores goals more easily than I score runs..... Do you think he should be the 1st sportsman for whom all the rules should have been amended and awarded BHARAT RATNA..... THIS IS SHOCKING. HE IS NOT AWARDED BHARAT RATNA BY OUR GOVT. BUT MORE THAN 50 COUNTRIES HAVE AWARDED HIM WITH MORE THAN 400 AWARDS.... . BEFORE INDEPENDENCE...WHAT A STRUGGLE....
