ForgottenHeroes | The year was 1954. The setting, the Asian Games. 14.7 seconds is what it took Sarwan Singh to complete his 110 m hurdle race
He had won a gold for the country. 16 years later, after retiring from the Army, Sarwan was forced to drive a taxi in Ambala. Eventually he had to sell his medal to earn some cash.
Just another tragic story of an athlete who once made the country proud but was neglected and forgotten by the very same country.
