Who is Dhyaanchand & Why we want him to be a Bharatratna recipient...? 1) Before Independence When INDIA went on a Tour, INDIA Won 3 Olympic Gold medals in Hockey. 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 banned Hockey for the Next Few Years. 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 he wants and he will be head of his Army.! but He refused saying he does not play for money but for his Country.! 4) How he made Hitler his fan..? When he went to Germany for Hockey World Cup he was injured by Germany Goal Keeper.! In return he Ordered his Team mates to take revenge..! Can you imagine someone challenging Germany citizen in front of Hitler..! He by passed the ball from Goal keeper but didnt score the 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 refree that the Goal post length is short because I cant do a Goal. This was found correct and goal post length was increased & later 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 carry an indian FLAG BUT HE HIDE THAT IN HIS NIGHT DRESS AND TOOK IT TO GERNANY. IT REQUIREd LOT OF GUTS.! ON THIS BRITISHERS ANNOUNCED IMPRiSionNMENT for Dhyanchand BUT HITLER DIDNT LET THIS HAPPEN.! 7) During his later days he became So Poor that he didnt have enough Money to buy Food, again he was offered a Coach Post by America and Germany but he refused saying 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.! 8) Once upon a time he went to see a Hockey match at amdavad but was not allowed in the Stadium Saying becoz nobody 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.! Dont you think he should have been a BHARAT RATNA by now ? THIS IS SHOCKING HE IS NOT A BHARAT RATNA AS PER OUR GOVT BUT MORE THAN 50 COUNTRIES HAVE AWARDED HIM WITH MORE THAN 400 AWARDS. Its unfortunate for Bharat Ratna itself to have not gone into the hands of Major Dhyan Chand.......
