Real Footage of Milkha Singh of Comman wealth game 1958
EX Army Man Milkha Singh won 77 out of 80 races in his career and donated all his medals to the National Sports Museum !!
Escaping the troubles in Punjab, where killings of Hindus and Sikhs were continuing,[6] by moving to Delhi, India, in 1947, Singh lived for a short time with a married sister[3] and was briefly imprisoned at Tihar jail for travelling on a train without a ticket. His sister, Ishvar, sold some jewellery to obtain his release.[7][8] He spent some time at a refugee camp in Purana Quila and at a resettlement colony in Shahdara, both in Delhi.[3]
Singh became disenchanted with his life and considered becoming a dacoit[a] but was instead persuaded by a brother, Malkhan, to attempt recruitment to the Indian Army. He successfully gained entrance on his fourth attempt, in 1951, and while stationed at the Electrical Mechanical Engineering Centre[9] in Secunderabad he was introduced to athletics. He had run the 10 km distance to and from school as a child and was selected by the army for special training in athletics after finishing sixth in a compulsory cross-country run for new recruits.[6][7] Singh has acknowledged how the army introduced him to the sport, saying that "I came from a remote village, I didn't know what running was, or the Olympics"
