Major Dhyan Chand: Dedication at its best

Major Dhyanchand playing Hockey
Have you ever heard of a person whose name got changed because of his dedication? Dhyan Singh used to play hockey during the day, and even in the light of moon hence his in-charge named him Dhyan Chand. "Chand" signifies that he used to play hockey even during night (in the light of the moon). He scored 3 goals in his first match, 35+ goals in Olympics and 1000+ goals in his international career. He practiced so dedicatedly that when he played matches no one was able to take hockey ball from him. Holland officials even checked his hockey stick by breaking it into two parts if it had a magnet in it. Japanese thought he used special gum in his hockey stick but the real secret was in his practice and dedication. Opponents even abuse Dhyan Chand during matches but he always won matches due to his dedication.
His popularity can be gauged by the fact that his 4 arm statue was placed in Vienna signifying his talent of hockey. His birthday is celebrated as a National Sports Day in India. Let's talk about one of the most important life events of Major Dhyan Chand's life. On 4 Aug 1936, India played Olympics final against Germany. 25000+ audience was there in the stadium along with some of the most famous personalities like Hitler. The Indian team was not able to score even a single goal until half time. It was believed that pitch was made wetter by German staff so that Indians with old and low-quality shoes will not be able to run easily. After the first half, Dhyan Chand played without shoes and India won the match by 8-1. Hitler left the game in frustration. Hitler called Dhyan Chand for a meeting where Hitler asked him about his position in the Indian army.

Dhyan Chand answered that he is working a lance naik in Army. Hitler asked him after looking at the bad condition of his shoes and clothes that he must join the German Hockey team and as a lieutenant in the German Army. Dhyan Chand politely refused the offer as he believed that it is not a responsibility of a Nation to develop its Citizen but its the responsibility of citizens to develop their nation. His wife once shared how he used to take revenge from opponents. When he was playing in Kolkata, his opponent smashed his hockey stick on Dhyan Chand's leg. But Dhyan Chand not resisted this behavior. After this incident, Dhyan Chand scored 3 goals and won the match. After that match, Dhyan Chand explained to his wife that this is his way of taking revenge from opponents.
He played so expertly that Britishers promoted him to the level of Major. This is also an extraordinary achievement for a person who joined at the lowest level. He was honored with Padma Bhushan in 1956. We all must learn from the life of Dhyan Chand and how he came out from not so rich family and the whole world appreciated his talent.
