NATIONAL SPORTS DAY

India has had many sporting champions in it's 74 years of independence and on August 29

celebrates National Sports Day, on the birth anniversary of hockey legend Major Dhyan

Chand.

Here's a look at India's greatest sporting triumphs on National Sports Day, also known as

Rashtirya Khel Diyash. Though Dhyan Chand himself led the Indian team (under British rule)

to three consecutive Olympic gold medals (in 1928, 1932 and 1936), it was at the 1948

London Summer Games that Independent India defeated hosts Great Britain 4-0 to win their

first Olympic gold post Independence.
