The Indian hockey gharana has revolved around heroes and invariably they have been great goal scorers like the legendary Dhyan Chand, Balbir Singh (Senior), Leslie Claudius, Randhir Singh Gentle, Ranganathan Francis and the great K.D.

India’s seventh gold came at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the first time the Summer Games were held in Asia. There is something special about Tokyo and the Olympics.
