Hockey
is the National Game of India. Hockey has been played in India for time
immemorial. There was a golden period of Indian hockey when hockey
stalwarts of India ruled the game. On the international scenario there
were no competitors to match the magical hands of Indian hockey players.
The might and power of Indian hockey made India synonymous with the
game. Unmatched excellence and incomparable talent of Indian players
became folklore. The ball-juggling feats of players like Major
Dhyanchand made people to think that Indian players used some kind of
black magic. The Golden Era of hockey in India was the period from 1928
- 1956 when India won 6 successive gold medals in the Olympic Games.
