The extraordinary and determined patriot

 Today, I am feeling proud to write this blog about the Indian Magician of Hockey, Major Dhyan Chand. Today, I would like to share a motivational event from his life.
During the 1936 Summer Olympics Hockey Finals in Berlin, Germany, the Indian National Hockey Team achieved a glorious victory over the German Hockey Team under the exceptional leadership of Major Dhyan Chand. Adolf Hitler, the then-dictator of Germany, was also present at the match held in Berlin. After Germany's defeat, Hitler became upset and return back to his home.
In the evening, he invited Dhyan Chand to his residence. While they were having talks, Hitler asked Chand about his profession other than playing hockey. Dhyan Chand replied by saying that he holds a small post of a Lance Naik Subedar in the Indian Army.
The dictator firmly advised Chand to leave the Indian Hockey Team and join the German Hockey Team to play from Germany's side. The dictator told Chand that if he does so, Hitler would immediately make Chand the Air Field Marshal in the German Army. The dictator also added that your country (India) will never promote you from your post of a small Lance Naik Subedar in the Army. Hitler eventually tried to deter Dhyan Chand from his path.
But what Dhyan Chand said next is just impressive. He respectfully rejected the offer and said confidently to Hitler that, "It is not the responsibility of my country to promote me, it is my responsibility to promote my country". This sentence just left Hitler awestruck. Hitler had nothing else to say to Dhyan Chand.
Major Dhyan Chand was not only an exceptional hockey player but was also a true nationalist and a patriot who always thought of the betterment of his motherland. His words and contributions for the betterment of the country must and surely will be remembered in the hearts of true patriots.

Do you know?: - Titanic's unfavourable chain of events

  David Blair was the second officer of the RMS (Royal Mail Steamer) Titanic back in 1912. He had been the second officer of the RMS Titanic for all its test runs. But just before the Titanic could start her maiden voyage, there was a last-minute change in the plan . David Blair was replaced by Henry Wilde as the ship's second officer by the ship's owner White Star Line . Henry Wilde had been the chief officer of Titanic's sister ship, RMS Olympic . The company took this last-minute decision as they saw Wilde as a more experienced mariner with better skills of running such large ships . But David Blair became upset and wrote to some of his relatives that he was upset about being replaced. As he was upset, Blair forgot to hand over the keys of the binocular cabin on Titanic to Wilde, which changed the fate of the Titanic . As Sonar (Radar) Technology was not in use back then , the binoculars were of crucial importance , as they were the only means of safe navigation thr...
