had won gold medals only in field hockey, a team
sport. He is the only Indian Olympic medalist to
have never received a Padma Award.He was fleet
footed, which made him different from other
wrestlers of his time. English coach Rees Gardner
saw this trait in him and trained him prior to 1948
Olympic games

86. The X is an account of the early years of Zoroastrian settlers on the
Indian subcontinent. In the absence of alternatives, the text is
generally accepted to be the only narrative of the events described
therein, and many members of the Parsi community perceive the
epic poem to be an accurate account of their ancestors.
The account begins in Greater Khorasan, and narrates the travel of
the emigrants to Gujarat, on the west coast of present-day India.
The first chapter, which is the longest, ends with the establishment
of a Fire Temple. and the later dispersion of their descendants. In
later chapters, it narrates the success in repelling Islamic invaders,
then the failure in the same, and the subsequent flight of the
Zoroastrians. The account closes with a chapter on the conveyance
of the "Fire of the Warharan" to Navsari.
