I hope India can also win the World Cup in the future.

We have great women athletes with incredible mental resilience in this country. More and more girls should be encouraged to play the sport, live their dreams, and be given the platform. I hope that day isn't too far away.

Massive queues of people outside Madison Square Garden in New York, eagerly waiting to enter and listen to RSS Sarsanghchalak Pujaniya Mohan Bhagwat Ji.

A powerful display of the growing global interest in Bharat’s civilisational ethos and the RSS’s vision for a strong, self-confident India. 🇮🇳

So much to learn from Dhyan Chand on his birthday and National Sports Day. It starts with his name. He was born Dhyan Singh, but once he joined his regiment, he had very little time in the day to practice, so he practiced at night, by moonlight and was given the name Dhyan Chand.
He could innovate. In the 1935 tour of New Zealand, the Kiwis left the grass long in all areas except the penalty area, to stop the Indian passing and dribbling. Dhyan and his brother Roop countered by keeping the ball in the air on their sticks and still scored five goals.
He did not allow his hockey or service with the Indian army to take away from what he felt was moral and correct. According to his son, Ashok Kumar, he sheltered Chandrashekhar Azad at his house in Jhansi when the police was in hot pursuit.
He was totally focussed on the game. After India suffered a shock defeat against Germany in an exhibition game before Berlin '36, he immediately asked for Ali Dara, who had been controversially dropped, to be flown in from India. Dara came and was a vital part of the Indian Olympic victory, and later captained Pakistan.
Great reading of his sport. In the finals of the Berlin Olympics, he realized the rain had made the pitch difficult. Dhyan Chand discarded his spikes at half time, played with rubber soles and totally transformed the game. India scored goals right at the start of that half.
He had a sense of humour. When Jawaharlal Nehru met Dhyan Chand in 1952 when he had come for the Padma Bhushan award, he jokingly asked him for one of his medals as he had so many on his chest. And Dhyan Chand quipped, "On you Nehruji, only the rose looks good."
Will finish with a story about him & the actor & singer KL Saigal. Saigal in 1937 was the biggest Indian star. Prithviraj Kapoor took Saigal to watch Dhyan Chand in a match in Mumbai. But till half time, neither Dhyan Chand nor his brother Roop could score.
When Saigal met them at half time, he expressed his disappointment. The brothers asked him if he would sing a song for them for every goal they scored in the second half. He agreed. They scored 12 goals in the second half, Dhyan Chand getting 8 & Roop Singh 4

Mohan Bhagwat blew our socks off in New York. As head of India’s largest volunteer organization RSS, the man knows the pulse of India at the grassroots level like no one else. He was exceptionally bullish on the US India relationship and on the resilience of Indian youth to pivot into the revolutionary new age of AI. He regaled us with many beautiful Sanskrit shlokas and left us convinced that the world is one large family : “Progress of India, must be accompanied by progress of others around us”. When traditional Indians like Mohanji talk about values, they sound a little bit socialist to be honest 😁: Vasudaiva Kutumbhakam, the environment is one with us, sustainable growth is the only way forward, and charity towards others is a divine mandate. The Madison Square Garden event is wildly oversubscribed and sold out. Ignore the naysayers and enjoy Q&A with an exceptionally open man who enjoys talking to everybody. He is simple, wise, large hearted, inclusive of everyone and deeply trusting of the power of Indian youth for taking the country forward into the new era of AI.
India speaks through Mohan Bhagwat.

Hockey India should allow Indian players to play in the European leagues. Australians, NZers, Argentinians, all play there so I don't see why Indians shouldn't
