    Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award drishtiias.com/printpdf/major-dhyan-chand-khel-ratna-award Why in News Recently, the Prime Minister renamed the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award, the country’s highest sporting honour, after hockey wizard Major Dhyan Chand. This came a day after the Indian men's hockey team won the bronze medal in the ongoing Tokyo Olympics and hours after the women's team finished fourth. Key Points About: The Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award will hereby be called the Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna Award. The now renamed Major Dhyan Chand Khel Ratna award comes with a cash prize of Rs 25 lakh.

  • 'Acchhe Din' for Indian Hockey, Are They Round The
    ‘ACCHHE DIN’ FOR INDIAN HOCKEY, ARE THEY ROUND THE CORNER? Paresh K. Das There was a time when India were the undisputed kings of hockey in the world. Those days there was no World Cup. No Champions Trophy. Competitive hockey at the international level was only played during the Olympic Games. And at the continental level, the Asian Games was the only arena where power houses in the sub-continent showcased their prowess. Dhyan Chand, the legend the world talks about even today, was the most dazzling among the Indian hockey stars. India had very little opposition till the partition of the country and emergence of Pakistan. After gaining independence, most finals were India-Pakistan affairs with teams like Australia, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium, the powerhouses of today, getting trounced by the Indians. Pakistan provided some resistance. India had players of great talent till the early seventies with the likes of Prithipal Singh, Balbir Singh, Ajitpal Singh, Harbinder Singh, Ashok Kumar (the son of Dhyan Chand), M.P.Ganesh and Pargat Singh dominating the international arena. The national team’s downswing began in the 1968 Olympics when Australia beat India 2-1 in the semifinals. And despite India winning the 1975 World Cup defeating Pakistan 2-1 in the final, no major triumph has been registered by the team except the gold medal at the 1980 truncated Olympics in Moscow in which most of the top sides did not participate. The slide continued with India getting routed by teams like Australia, Germany, Netherland and even Belgium on a regular basis.
