BHARAT RATNA TO DHYANCHAND.
The decision to award Bharat Ratna to Dhyan Chand is a right decision.
There may be some views that Sachin Tendulkar deserves more than
Dhyan Chand.There is no comparison between Sachin and Dhyan Chand
as they played different games ,in different times.Dhyan Chand played in
three Olympics and won three gold medals for the country and scored more
than 400 goals in International Career. Astro Turf in Indian Gymkhana Club
in London has been named after Indian Hockey wizard,Dhyan Chand.After
India played its first match in 1936 Olympics,Dhyan Chand's magical
stickwork drew crowds from other venues to the Hockey field.A German
newspaper carried a banner headline,"The Olympic Complex now has a
magic show too".The next day there were posters all over Berlin-Visit the
Hockey stadium to watch the Indian magician Dhyan Chand in action.
Residents of Vienna,Austria,honoured him by setting up a statue of him
with four hands and four sticks depicting his control and mastery over
the ball.
Once, while playing a hockey game,Major Dhyan Chand was not able to score
a goal against the opposition team inspite of several misses. He went to the
referee and wanted him to check the goal post measurement.Surprisingly,it
was found not upto the official width as per international rules.
This is Dhyan Chand for you.
