Indian hockey legend Brigadier Harcharan Singh (retd), the former left-winger from the 1975 Indian Hockey World Cup-winning squad, emphasised need to chronicle past achievements in the form books and literature to popularise the sport.

He launched a book “March of Glory”, co-authored by Errold D’Cruz and K Arumugam, today.

“I am delighted that the book has been published as we celebrate the centenary of hockey governance in our country as well as the golden jubilee of our epic victory in Kuala Lumpur,” said Harcharan, adding, “I understand this is the first-ever book on the historic World Cup victory. It’s fitting it comes as we celebrate its Golden Jubilee”.

Harcharan also went down memory lane and saluted the team for writing that wrote a glorious chapter for the Indian hockey.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
