Patriotism

15th August 1947 is a very important day, it was this day when our country was free from British rule after ruling for about 200 years. Exactly just about 11 years back from this date, an incident happened. An Indian soldier faced one of the world's terrifying commandos. On 15Aug 1936, India was facing Germany in the finals of the Olympics Hockey in Berlin. Just before the match started, the team manager Pankaj Gupta had brought in the National Congress flag in the dressing room. All Indian players saluted to it and sung Vande Mataram song and entered the field for the final game. Every German was having confidence that Germany would win the game. Even Hitler himself had come to the venue to support his countrymen.
