In Barcelona 1971, when the first World Cup was hosted, India finished third while Pakistan lifted the trophy. Amsterdam 1973 was heartbreak central. India led 2-0 against Netherlands in the final before agonisingly going down on penalty strokes. India missed a penalty stroke during ‘sudden death.’ A conversion would have resulted in an instant tri- umph. But it was not to be.</ins></div></td></tr>

In captain Ajit Pal Singh, Ashok Kumar, Govinda, V Phillips, Surjit Singh, Michael Kindo, India had a first-rate unit. But were they better than Pakistan who had Akhtar Rasool, Samiullah, Islauddin and Saleem Sherwani in their ranks? That was the tantalising question. India started well, but not perfectly. Pakistan did. Both topped their groups. But unlike the neighbours, India suffered a loss. Argentina, the hockey equivalent to New Zealand in cricket, upset India 2-1. But the semifinal turned out to be a bigger test.</ins></div></td></tr>

Penalty corners were plentiful but regular taker, Surjit Singh, was having an off-day. In desperation, the reliable Kindo was substituted for a rookie 21-year-old defender from Bhopal. With just four minutes left for the hooter, India earned a penalty corner. What happened next is a moment engraved in every hockey lover’s memory. Aslam Sher Khan kissed the tabeez (amulet) given to him by his mother; his strike sending the match into extra-time. Harcharan Singh’s goal earned India a place in the final again. In the other semis, Pakistan looked unstoppable routing Germany 5-1.</ins></div></td></tr>

A few senior students brought transistor radios to school. Some of them cut classes to listen to the commentary. The noise they made told us India won the World Cup. Fittingly, hockey wizard Dhyanchand’s son, Ashok Kumar, scored the decider in a 2-1 win. In my mind’s archive, I always pictured Kumar dodging past the Pakistan defence and scoring the match-winner. Truth is, as I realized after watching the final on YouTube some years ago, it came off a goalmouth melee. Watching the match played on grass in Kuala Lumpur, I also realized how dramatically hockey has changed due to the introduction of astro-turf in the 1976 Montreal Olympic. I vividly remember the celebrations. Crackers were burst, but it wasn’t anything like nowadays. Nobody had that kind of money then. Yet a sense of pure joy was evident everywhere: schools, paan shops, streets, bus stops. It was the only point of conversation. With IndoPak cricket in hiatus, hockey was the game where national pride and collective emotions were invested.</ins></div></td></tr>

In the weeks that followed, popular magazines such as The Illustrated Weekly of India and Dharmyug carried cover stories of the triumph. Players received awards in various forms. For instance, the Punjab government gave them Rs 5,000 each. The UP government gave each member a Vijay scooter. Amounts and awards that tell you something about the times.</ins></div></td></tr>

The 1980 Moscow Olympics gold too came against a vastly truncated field. Caught napping by astro-turf, it would be decades before the nation would become a force in hockey again. Now hope floats with two consecutive bronzes won in Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024. But the nation awaits the golden glow.</ins></div></td></tr>

Wherever we went, there was sea of people, crowds and crowds just waiting to see us and shower their love on us. The who’s who of India wanted to share the dais with us. We had won Olympic gold medals in hockey after Independence, but in the 1970s, as a growing nation, the people wanted to see a rising India on the world stage. It was huge recognition for the country. Pakistan were then at the top of their game and beating them in the final was the icing on the cake. It is difficult to describe in words, the mood of the nation at that time. It was a strange emotion that has stayed all these years.</ins></div></td></tr>
