Sir,
The decision of the Sports Ministry to recommend hockey legend late Dhyan Chand for prestigious Bharat Ratna is more than welcome.
The recommendation has been made keeping in view the contribution made by Dhyan Chand in hockey.
If Barat Ratna is conferred on three time Olympic gold medallist, who passed away in 1973, it will a great tribute to the legend. Dhyan Chand who won three gold medals at the Olympic in 1928, 1932 and 1936 is considered as the greatest lockey player the world has ever produced. His achievements made India proud in the comity of Nations at a time when India was under the British Yoke, and there were no such facilities available to players as are now. Besides, Bharat Ratna will bring sports stream in lime light. It will give a new recognition and place to sports in the country.
The Sports sector has not developed much as it should have been by this time in the country. It may be expected that the selection committee may consider the legend for the highest civilian award-Bharat Ratna.
Yours etc….
