Who is Dhyan Chand & Why People feel he should have got Bharat Ratna...? 1) Before Independence When INDIA went on a Tour, they 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 Dhyan chand was among those Who made Hitler his Fan. He was requested to accept German Citizenship and play for Germany. In return he would get as much as Money he wants and also will be appointed the head of Fuhrers 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 German Goal Keeper.! In return he Ordered his Team mates to take revenge..! Can you imagine someone challenging Germans in front of Hitler..! He by passed the ball from Goal keeper but didnt score a Goal., This was the biggest shame for Germany and Hitler was seemingly impressed by this..! 5) There was a match Where he didnt Score a Single Goal. On this he argued with match referee that the Goal post length was short 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 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 game he became So Poor that he didnt have Money for Food, again he was offered a Coach Position by America and Germany but he refused saying if he coaches Hockey for them then INDIA will no more be a Champion in Hockey. Our Govt didnt offer him anything & it was INDIAN ARMY Who helped him.! 8) Once, he wanted to see a Hockey match at Ahmadabad but was not allowed inside the Stadium saying We dont recognize You.. That game was attended by Jawaharlal Nehru.! 9) Finally Cricket Icon Sir Don Bradman said Im a fan of Dhyan Chand & he scores Goals more easily than I Score runs.! Dont 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 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. HATS OFF SIR.... #Shared
