Sir Major Dhyan Chand

India is a country of brave soldiers,  great players, enormous cultures and a great population diversity.
Hockey is the National Sport and in the years of 1930 India got its "Kohinoor Diamond" in the form of a great hockey player Major Dhyan Chand. He was the one who raised the level of Indian Hockey to its peak and was appreciated all over the world.
The famous Dictator Adolf Hitler wanted Dhyan Chand to come Germany and become his partner and he offered many luxurious things to D.Chand and Hitler wanted to impress Major so he named a street as "Dhyan Chand Street" in Germay and it is still there in Germany. 
But Major Dhyan Chand was a patriot and he didn't want to betray his country so he refused his offer.
But now a point to think has arisen.
The Govt. of India has not given him the "Bharat Ratna" award till date. His name is pending for many years. On the other hand,  govt. has given this award to Sachin Tendulkar. Though he played extremely good but first preference should be given to Dhyan Chand of course.
As Major is not with us now but his family members are still waiting for that award.
Its just a shameful thing for a country and its govt. that it can't give respect to a true patriot, great player and a nice and laborious person.
