INDIA :

During the First World War, Maulana Mahmood Hasan, and other Islamic scholars planned an armed attack on British India from the Afghanistan frontier. The ambitious plan did not succeed because of the changed geo-political scenario (defeat of Turkey and Germany) and the British getting hold of three silk letters, which gave away the whole planning. After this, 59 people were charged for waging the war against the crown. I am sharing the names of these 59 forgotten heroes of the Indian freedom struggle.

Mechanic Tasawwur’s son Shahrukh is a dribbling star

Lucknow, UTTAR PRADESH :

Shahrukh Ali with his father Tasawwur Ali

As one sees the young Shahrukh Ali training hard to be a professional hockey player at the KD Singh Babu Hockey Society, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, his father Tasawwur Ali is parked at the Shahnajaf Gate of the city with an iron box.

Tasawwur repairs two-wheelers  – moped and scooter – to support his family, including Shahrukh. Braving all the financial constraints and with his meager and erratic income, he has never allowed his son’s hockey training to get affected.

As a result, 12-year-old Shahrukh Ali scored a hat-trick in the final of the National Sub Junior Hockey Championship that took the Uttar Pradesh team to become the winner of the championship for the first time. Shahrukh scored five goals in the final competition.

Rashid Aziz, a former hockey coach in KD Singh Babu Stadium, told Awaz-the voice, the story of Shahrukh Khan.

It was about seven years ago that Shahrukh came to Chandrabhanu Gupta Ground with his father and brother Amir Ali. “He must have been five years old, but his passion for playing hockey soon made him a big player. He made a place for himself in sports. At the age of nine, he played in the Sub Junior KD Singh Babu Hockey tournament in Lucknow and made people including big hockey stars turn into his admirers.”

Within some time, Shahrukh became a permanent member of the UP Sub Junior Team. He became a star player with his performance in the National Sub Junior Hockey Championship. Sports Authority of India coaoch said that Shahrukh’s biggest strength is the game inside D. “If Shahrukh somehow manages to get the ball in the opponent’s D (area), then the chances of the team scoring a goal increase manifold.

Tassawur says first it was Aamir and now Shahrukh: I had never thought that my sons would play hockey.

Tasavvur recalls the day he had taken Sghahrusk to the Chandrabhanu Gupta ground on an amateurish basis. “ I feel proud to see his performance today; it’s a great feeling to realize that it’s my little Shahrukh playing.” He told this reporter on the phone. 

Tassawur sounds happy and proud. “I pray that one day he plays for the country and wins medals in the Olympics,” he said with an emotion-choked voice.

Hockey Olympian and Secretary of Babu Society, Syed Ali says that Shahrukh Ali has achieved a big position today. While training at Chandrabhanu Gupt ground, Shahrukh established himself as an accomplished hockey player. Hopefully, his career will go a long way.

Lucknow :

City lad Amir Ali will lead the 18-member Indian junior men’s hockey team in the 12th edition of the Sultan of Johor Cup in Malaysia. The team, announced on Sunday by Hockey India, also includes Shardanand Tiwari, a defender also from Lucknow.

The team, which will play under newly appointed head coach PR Sreejesh, will have Rohit as Amir’s deputy, said a Hockey India press release.

India will begin their campaign against Japan on Oct 19, followed by matches against Great Britain (Oct 20), hosts Malaysia (Oct 22), Australia (Oct 23), and New Zealand (Oct 25). The top two teams will advance to the final, scheduled for Oct 26.

Amir, son of a motorcycle mechanic Tasawar Ali, used to help at his father’s makeshift shop as a child. He began his hockey journey at the age of 10 at the KD Singh ‘Babu’ Society ground, where he was groomed by his coach, Rashid Aziz Khan. He was also guided by veteran players Syed Ali and Sujeet Kumar, who run the ‘Babu’ Society.

Talking about Amir, Rashid said, “Amir and his brother Shahrukh learned the basics of hockey from me. Amir is a very hardworking boy, and his growth is commendable.”

“After being announced as the Indian junior captain, Amir called me to share the news. I wish him and Shardanand Tiwari a fantastic career,” Rashid added.

Meanwhile, Amir’s brother Shahrukh was ecstatic over the news. “I am very happy that Amir will lead the country in the Sultan of Johor Cup,” he said, adding that he couldn’t talk to Amir as he was representing the Uttar Pradesh team in the All India KD Singh ‘Babu’ Tournament, but he will meet him soon.

“I must thank Rashid Aziz, Sujeet Kumar, and Syed Ali, and express my gratitude to the chief selector of Hockey India, RP Singh, for promoting hockey in Uttar Pradesh and supporting the players,” he said.
