QWho is Dhyaanchand & Why People are asking Bharatratna for him..? 1)Before independence, when INDIA went on a 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 than America had banned Hockey for the next few years. Can you imagine what an achievement it was.! 3) Shree Dhyaanchand was among those whom Hitler was a fan of, and was requested to accept German citizenship and play for Germany & in return he will get as much money as he wanted and he will head the German Army.! But He refused saying he does not play for money but for Country.! 4) How he made Hitler his fan..? When he went to Germany for Hockey World Cup, he was injured by the German Goal Keeper.! In return, he ordered his team mates to take revenge..! Can you imagine someone challenging German citizen in front of Hitler..! He took the ball past the German Goal keeper, but didnt score 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 he couldnt score a Goal. When checked, this was found correct and goal post length was increased & latter he scored 8 goals..! 6) HE WAS THE ONLY INDIAN WHO HOISTED INDIAN FLAG BEFORE INDEPENDENCE NOT ONLY IN INDIA BUT IN GERMANY..! WE WERE RULED BY BRITISHERS AND NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE OUT FLAG BUT HE HID THAT IN HIS NIGHT DRESS AND TOOK IT TO GERMANY. IT REQUIRES A LOT OF GUTS.! ON THIS BRITISHERS ANNOUNCED IMPRISONMENT BUT HITLER DIDNT LET THIS HAPPEN.! 7) During his last days, he was so poor that he didnt have money for food. Again, he was offered a Coachs post by America and Germany. But he refused saying if he teaches Hockey to them, then INDIA will no more be a Champion in Hockey.Its an irony that our own Govt didnt offer him anything & it was the INDIAN ARMY only which helped him.! 8) Once, he went to see a hockey match at Ahemadabad, but was not allowed in to the stadium because no one recognized him..? That game was attended by Jawaharlal Nehru.! 9) Finally Cricket Icon Sir Don Bradman said Im a fan of Dhyaanchand & 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 IT IS EQUALLY SHOCKING THAT HE IS NOT A BHARAT RATNA AS PER OUR GOVT, BUT MORE THAN 50 COUNTRIES HAVE AWARDED HIM WITH MORE THAN 400 AWARDS. THIS IS BEFORE INDEPENDENCE, WHAT A STRUGGLE Real hero named Major Dhyaan Chand. HATS OFF SIR.... 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
