From one Olympian to another: Gurbux Singh salutes Roop Singh’s legacy

New Delhi, Oct 15 (UNI) Roop Singh, a two-time Olympic gold medallist and one of the finest forwards of Indian hockey’s golden era, remains an enduring symbol of India's dominance that defined the sport in its early decades.
A member of India’s victorious teams at the 1932 Los Angeles and 1936 Berlin Olympics, and the younger brother of the legendary Major Dhyan Chand, Roop Singh’s name occupies a proud place in the game’s history.
For Gurbux Singh, Olympic gold medallist at Tokyo 1964, bronze medallist at Mexico City 1968, and recipient of the Arjuna Award, the connection is deeply personal. One of India’s most respected figures in hockey, Gurbux was coached by Roop Singh early in his career, an experience that left a lasting impression on him.
