My father told me that in that indian team of 1975, 7 players were from punjab and out of these 7 players, 4 players were from sansarpur village, of jalandhar cantt
You're absolutely right. Mohinder Singh was our relative and from Jalandhar Dist. Few years after this epic match, I met Pakistani team players in Patiala, they were training as part of Combined Asian team. Needless to say, they were all very nice and spoke Punjabi. This was when, our hockey was excellent until Indira Gandhi complained to Ashiwani Kumar for having too many Sikhs in the team. As they say, rest is history. Btw, Ashiwani Kumar published that letter in the later part of his life. It can be found on Internet now. It will take a miracle to recover from the debacle now.
Sorry to say but Hindu mentality still the same, Sikhs are the one protecting them so far but some they will also realize these bastards are not even sincere to their mother. It’s is best all ethnicities should have their own independent state. Specially in Asia subcontinent. All can live in peace and can still support each other.
Indians were amazing. No a single player lost his temper in such a crucial final. They played an excellent and high quality hockey. I pay tribute to Indian team and also tribute to Pakistan team. They jointly showed the world how to play beautiful hockey.
I REMEMBER THIS MATCH, AT THAT TIME I WAS JUST 9 YEARS OLD , I LISTEN THIS RADIO COMMENTARY BY JASDEV SINGH SOMETHIN OF THAT COMMENTARY I STILL REMEMBER THAT HOW JASDEV SINGH REACTED WHEN ASHOK KUMAR MADE FINAL GOAL FOR INDIA, NOW I AM 47 YEARS OLD
@@jagjeevanram1 Yes indeed. This clip brings back very very fond memories. A lump to my throat as well. The match was played in very good spirits. Some wonderful stickwork was on display. A treat to watch Ashok Kumar B. P. Govinda and Ishlahuddin showcase their dribbling skills. Ajitpal's very imaginative distribution. He hardly broke a sweat. A very clever Centre Half. Thank You for sharing this clip.
Thanks a lot. I followed the match on radio with my dad and brothers. We also went to an exhibition match the team played at Tiruchirappalli with the World cup. Thank you once again for bringing back those fond memories.
Thanks a lot for reviving these memories And I listened to Radio commentary as TV📺 coverage was very rare those days ! Jasdev Singh was the Radio commentator, I was in college 2nd year and we friends celebrated the next day in our college canteen ! Thanx Satwant ji for taking us back to 1975 !!
Mr. Satwant Singh, Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. My Name is Nouman and my father was right there to support Pakistani team, further, all Pakistani players are playing with our hockey sticks, manufactured in our factory, "Primrose & Hockey Engineers" stadium advertisement board are also there, I wish I could express more about how HAPPY I am right now, but I'm at a loss of words. Thank you once again,
Very curious, interesting information being shared by people from both sides of the border about the matches played, equipment and gadgets used and nativity of players.

I heard this radio commentry by Juswant Singh. What a moment, when a silence broked by commentry voice " Ashok ne goal kar diya ".India won this tournament their first Hockey World Cup by divisive golden goal done by Legend player Ashok Kumar. A player from historical place Jhansi(UP). Though struggle made by Captain Ajitpal Singh, Surajeet Singh can't be forgotten.Excellant penalty strock conversation into goal by penalty strock specialist Mohinder Singh are our golden memories.Thanks, for the then entire hockey team. Winning a hockey world cup after defeating Pakistan with Sehnaj Shekh,Samiullah is still thrilling us
I am from Gujranwala Punjab Pakistan,I was 13 years old in 1975,I watched live match on TV from Kula Lumpur Malaysia, I think India had not such live telecast facility in mid 70s,It was one of the greatest match of world cup history between two rivalries. Unfortunately India lost their hockey glory after 1975 and Pakistan in mid 80s. Cricket replaced hockey in both countries, Indian hockey have shown some improvement whereas Pakistan hockey is still at lowest in history of Pakistan Hockey.
Congratulations......undoubtedly pak team of 70s and 80s era was the best team in the world...winning against such players is really a moment of happiness.. .. long live good hockey of subcontinent style....
Many Many Thanks Satwant Singhji for posting this Video. I Sincerely hope that Indian Hockey rises again with Wishes and Blessings from Hockey Lovers like you-RajaGopal from Hyderabad
Thank you Satwant Apaa Ji. Great memories. This was third world cup. It used to be played after every two years. In those days hockey was all skill, all the laws and rules have been changed to suit Europeans. Please correct me if I am wrong, this was India’s only world cup win. Pakistan won next two world cups 1978 and 1982. They won there last world cup in 1994. I think they are ranked 18 in the world now. It’s nice to see India reemerge as one of the top teams. But hockey is not the same. It’s more like football

Everyone say cricket is dominating in india because of 1983 world cup and Everyone started playing cricket but we won world cup in hockey before cricket but now hockey is not much recognized as cricket
I only remember this slightly, I remember I was upset after Pakistan lost. I was a little boy back then, however after this - pakistan went out to win 3 world cups...pakistan team was amazing during late 70s and 80s, almost unbeatable. unfortunately cricket has taken over pakistan and hockey is no longer important
Many many thanks to Mr. Satwant Singh for sharing this priceless video. What a legendary starcast lined up in this WC final from both teams. Ajitpal Singh, Ashok Kumar, Aslam Sher Khan, Harcharan Singh, Mohinder Singh, Surjit Singh, Govinda, Philips, Shivaji Pawar, Islahuddin Siddiqui, Safdar Abbas, Akhtar Rasool, Samiullah Khan, Zahid Sheikh, Manzoor Jr, Manzoor Hasan, Munawwar uz Zaman and others ..... just sublime. And what a delightful display of sub-continent hockey skills. Fast paced, attack based, dribbling galore ..... this is what hockey is about. Many tx once again to Mr. Satwant Singh!
We need to start playing field hockey on real grass instead of astroturf so that India/Pakistan can dominate world hockey again. Astroturf ruins the game -- it's not fun to watch, and it just looks like ice hockey. Also, it's unfair on Asian countries because it's expensive, not to mention bad for the environment. This is much more subtle and interesting, I feel, instead of just being a raw power game. The Europeans were crap at hockey, and then they introduced astroturf which killed our game.
In contrast to the Olympic gold won,Pakistan have a far better record than India when it comes to the World Cup. India only won the World Cup once in 1975 in Kuala Lumpur.Their final opponents then were Pakistan who because of a controversial goal had to settle for the silver in the 2-1 defeat. But Pakistan made amends for that painful 1975 World Cup final defeat by winning the fourth edition of the World Cup in Argentina beating Holland 3-2 in the final.Whereas India suffered the ignominy of losing 7-0 to West Germany and to Canada 2-0. Then India hosted the fifth edition of the World Cup in 1981/1982 but failed to qualify for the semifinals losing 4-3 to Holland and 2-1 to Australia.In contrast Pakistan emerged as the World Cup champions for the third winning all its matches in style including a 12-3 rout of New Zealand and a 3-1 beating of West Germany in the final. While India continuously failed to regain back the World Cup Pakistan won their fourth World Cup in Sydney edging Holland in the final via penalty flicks. Yes it is a fact.Pakistan have a far better World Cup record than India although the latter won eight Olympic gold medals the last at the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
I was 13 years old when India and Pak played this final and India lifted the world cup Hockey. For us Young India ( just 28 years after Independence) this was a very proud moment. I remember our family had gone out for lunch with family friends at the fancy Ashoka restaurant Nagpur. But my friends and brother could NOT concentrate on the food. So we stood outside the restaurant at a paan thela where we could listen to the live commentary of the legendary Jasdev singh and others. I remember vividly ( it was a tense and close contest) when India scored the winning goal through Ashok Kumar and when the long whistle blew and India was world champions, we broke into a frenzied dance and people joined and there was a big traffic jam on the main street. there were mad celebrations. Hockey had brought name and fame to Indian sports whereas we were not doing well in cricket those days. Great moments for India and the Indian team and the Pakistani team were also absolutely brilliant! It was an amazing contest. Hockey at that time was MUCH MORE POPULAR than cricket! it was after this victory that the EUROPEAN TEAMS realized they could NOT match India and pak in field hockey -- played on natural grass and they INVENTED Artifical turf CALLED ASTRO TURF which should have never happened. it was done only because European nations did NOT have the brilliant talent subcontinent had and the whole game was CONVERTED into pure power play ( no skills needed... only strength!) and this LED to the DEATH of Hockey's popularity. Aaj bhi if Hockey is moved back to natural grass as it should have always been India and pak would be the best teams in the world. Shame on Hockey federation International to have allowed this CHEATING and FOUL PLAY
True, I support your comments. The recent power play hockey on the astro turf really killed the Asian style, which was noted for stick work and artistry.
It should be shame on india Pak malayasian & other asian federations, to allow FIH to hijack playing turf & rules to suit European teams. As they say " United we stand divided we fall".
@@visnuprasan1699 aap shayad young hain. In those days Suth East Asian countries like India , Malaysia and Pakistan had no say in the matter whether cricket hockey or football. Today the things have completely reversed after 50 years. India is top decision maker in cricket and major decision maker in hockey. In fact it's Saud that India is cricket and cricket is India! Western countries ( like Australia and UK) which used to attack us with racial slurs 40 years back their players are lining up to get jobs in India's IPL. Times have changed for India Vishnu 💪😊
It is so far India's first and only World Cup victory.Remember India despite eight Olympic gold medal triumphs have yet still to regain the World Cup they last won in 1975.I was fifteen then when Ajitpal Singh and his men ran around at the Merdeka Stadium celebrating India's World Cup victory.
Golden moment. I watched this match live on tv as a 12 yrs old boy at home with family. Being Malaysian indians of tamil origin, We were very happy to witness the nemerous time Olympic champion to be crowned as the world champion in our soil. I still have the news paper cuttings pasted in my large 'sports book' about the match including the whole Malaysian and lndian teams. Malaysia achieved 4th place with many lndian (Tamil) players in our national team. Sadly, that was the best ever achievement by us. Thereafter and to date, the performance of Msian team is in shamble. Anyway, happy to note lndia hockey is back @ Tokyo 2020 with a bronze winning achievement.
Wonderful to hear this. Even I remember a few Malaysian Hockey players in that 3rd World Cup. I remember Poon Folk Loke, who really wept after losing the semi-finals with India. The famous Umpire Vijaynanthan Kulasingham, who officiated the finals is also a good friend of mine now, through Whatsapp.
यह शायद अंतिम अंतरराष्ट्रीय हाॅकी मैच था जो घास के मैदान पर खेला गया था।यह भारतीय हॉकी का आखिरी सर्वाधिक गौरवशाली क्षण था। कलात्मक हाॅकी मैच का अद्भुत उदाहरण।
indeed that day was a great moment in the history of indian hockey.but nowadays when india play matches against the top teams like AUS,GER AND NED they loses which makes me sad .actually india and pakistan dominated this sport.but when astro-turf were introduced indian hockey starts declining.that was the strategy of european nations to end india's and pakistan domination. still i hope that these 2 nations will play another world cup final in the near future.THE RIVALRY WILL GOES ON FOREVER...
West has robbed us of this beautiful game by introducing astro turf to suit their style and turned it to be power game instead of skill and stick work I could not imagine today of any players on both sides
I was a student at I t ILudhianawhen we saw live on TV seeing this match hàs remembered me those moments ànd so many memories of i t I where I was a respected student leader of s f i

Thank u Satwant singhji,I listened the commentary was extremely happy to see India winning the world cup,incidentally it was my 21st birth day,a wonderful feeling.
Great though the Indian team that won the 1975 World Cup team but their failure to beat Australia in a group match drawing only 1-1 was the harbinger of things to come. Australia had sounded a warning to the eventual World Cup champions not to take them lightly in future meeting. India basked in winning the 1975 World Cup beating their arch rival Pakistan 2-1 in the final.That World Cup triumph in Kuala Lumpur made up for the painful penalty flicks defeat to host Holland in the 1973 final at Amsterdam.Then India led 2-0 with a brace from Surjit Singh and should have scored more after that.But the Dutch short corner specialist Ties Kruize equalized also with a brace at 2-2.With barely thirty one seconds left on the clock India were awarded a penalty stroke.B.P.Govinda had the great chance to score and the World Cup could be India's.But he blew that chance and Maarten Sikkings made a great save. Yes that 1975 World Cup triumph at the Merdeka Stadium made up for the bitter disappointment of losing the 1973 final. But one country in particular already have spotted weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the Indian team.They had learnt a lot from that 1-1 draw with India in a group match in Kuala Lumpur.Australia that is and the Kockaburras will indeed be a haunting nightmare for India in the years to come and even until now. The following year at the Montreal Summer Olympics in 1976 the nightmare for Indian hockey began.Australia handed a 6-1 thrashing to India.The Kockaburras indeed would be the nemisis to India in international hockey.
Correct. Australia has been India's nemesis since the 1980's. Even in India's dark days - we cud gather some result against Germany or the Netherlands but the Aussies were a tough nut to crack. Have not figured out why?. Actually the Aussies play similar to us compared to the power game of Germany or Holland.
YES I AM FROM TAMIL NADU THE THAT PRODUCED MANY HOCKEY GREATS OF THE LIKES OF RANGANATHAN FRANCIS BHASKARAN VJ PHILIPS VJ PETER MOHAMMED RIYAZ AND MANY MORE FOR INDIA BUT MOST OF THEM HAD TO LIVE IN PENURY EXCEPT A FEW THANKS TO UNDUE IMPORTANCE GIVEN TO CRICKET OBSCENITY IN INDIA
I remember watching this match live on TV as a 16-year-old. The match-winning goal by Ashok Kumar was highly controversial. In fact, it was never a goal & was wrongly allowed by the referee. The replay had clearly shown that and that is the reason the replay of this goal has been hidden in this video.
Yes this 1975 Indian team captained by Ajitpal Singh thus far is the only team to win the World Cup and that was achieved by beating arch rivals Pakistan 2-1 at the Merdeka Stadium in Kuala Lumpur. It has been 46 years since India won the World Cup but unfortunately future Indian national teams have failed to win the World Cup. As if the 1975 World Cup triumph is like a "curse" to India just like England winning the football 1966 World Cup at Wembley. India's 1975 World Cup victory came with a heavy price because at the same Australia were analysing and studying the strengths and weaknesses of India that came in handy the following year at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.And India were very fortunate to escape with a 1-1 draw in a group match against the Kookaburras at the same World Cup at Kuala Lumpur.
Sheer nostalgia. Cant forget this world cup ever. Especially the final ,the commentary which I heard on the radio as a young lad of 10 years. When Pakistan scored first ,I remember switching off the radio in despair and switching it on later on with great anxiety to find the scores tied!! Amidst nail biting tension I listened to the rest of the match and India's historic win. What a team that was. Sadly with the unwarranted rise in cricket , hockey was sidelined and these heroes forgotten. For me this was India's greatest sporting moment ever. I didn't sleep after that full night with the excitement and next day the Goan daily screamed the headlines'India's greatest hour''. So many functions to felicitate the 1983 cricket world cup winning team but none for these heroes. Shame
thank you satwant paaji i was just 14 years old then and was listening to radio commentary. i have seen clips in the films division news reels then.today after 49 years i am able to see live the full match deffered.our friend from chennai mr.philips was very instrumental in this victory.very fast paces match on grass turf---very artistic ----players islahuddin samiullah akhtar rasool giovinda ajitpal singh ashok kumar harcharan singh---------what a sight -----all the greats playing .

That 1975 3rd World Cup hockey final between India and Pakistan at the Merdeka Stadium was beamed live by RTM on the afternoon of March 15. I was then fifteen and was about to sit for the LCE in seven months time. In 1975 there was no coloured TV transmission until 1978.So it was in black and white when Malaysian hockey fans including me watched that historic classic between two Asian hockey giants. Pakistan were technically and tactically the superior side but India were more determined and spirited.Moreover Pakistan had to do without skipper Abdul Rashid who was injured just before the tournament. And India came back strongly despite being a goal down like what they did with Malaysia in the semi finals to win 2-1 albeit with the winning goal a controversial one awarded by the late umpire G.Vijayanathan.
I was a student in Chandigarh India. I heard the commentary on Radio. The Indian team practised on Panjab Uni . grounds in Chandigarh.. We saw their practice every afternoon. They camped in one of the Hostels across the road. I remember Surjit. He was the tallest. When he was to hit the penalty corner strike, we knew he would score. After the victory they returned to their camp and went to the same practicing ground and paid their thankful gratitude to the ground. My brother saw that.
Dear Satwantji, I am indeed thankful to you for posting this great video. I was 12 years old, studying 7th standard in School, in Coimbatore, Tamilnadu.

Aarthik sequel question 1q tata
I heard this radio commentry by Juswant Singh. What a moment, when a silence broked by commentry voice " Ashok ne goal kar diya ".India won this tournament their first Hockey World Cup by divisive golden goal done by Legend player Ashok Kumar. A player from historical place Jhansi(UP). Though struggle made by Captain Ajitpal Singh, Surajeet Singh can't be forgotten.Excellant penalty strock conversation into goal by penalty strock specialist Mohinder Singh are our golden memories.Thanks, for the then entire hockey team. Winning a hockey world cup after defeating Pakistan with Sehnaj Shekh,Samiullah is still thrilling us
I am from Gujranwala Punjab Pakistan,I was 13 years old in 1975,I watched live match on TV from Kula Lumpur Malaysia, I think India had not such live telecast facility in mid 70s,It was one of the greatest match of world cup history between two rivalries. Unfortunately India lost their hockey glory after 1975 and Pakistan in mid 80s. Cricket replaced hockey in both countries, Indian hockey have shown some improvement whereas Pakistan hockey is still at lowest in history of Pakistan Hockey.
True, India did not had live telecast facility at that time. I heard live commentary on radio, still remember every thing of that day
Congratulations......undoubtedly pak team of 70s and 80s era was the best team in the world...winning against such players is really a moment of happiness.. .. long live good hockey of subcontinent style....
1975 ਵਿੱਚ ਅਸੀਂ 10ਵੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਪੜ੍ਹਦੇ ਸੀ ॥ ਕਲਾਸਾਂ ਚੱਲ ਰਹੀਆਂ ਸੀ । 9 ਜਾਂ 10 ਵਜੇ ਪਤਾ ਲੱਗ ਗਿਆ ਕਿ ਇੰਡੀਆ ਹਾਕੀ ਜਿੱਤ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ । ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਦਾ ਮਾਹੌਲ ਬਣ ਗਿਆ । ਜਿੱਤ ਦੀ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਸਰਕਾਰੀ ਛੁੱਟੀ ਦਾ ਐਲਾਨ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ । ਫਿਰ ਸਾਡੀ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਜਿੱਤ ਦੀ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਨਾਲੋ ਕਿੰਨੀ ਜ਼ਿਆਦਾ ਸੀ, ………
There is a lot of depth in this Indian team. Eventually World Champions!
Many Many Thanks Satwant Singhji for posting this Video. I Sincerely hope that Indian Hockey rises again with Wishes and Blessings from Hockey Lovers like you-RajaGopal from Hyderabad
Thank you Satwant Apaa Ji. Great memories. This was third world cup. It used to be played after every two years. In those days hockey was all skill, all the laws and rules have been changed to suit Europeans. Please correct me if I am wrong, this was India’s only world cup win. Pakistan won next two world cups 1978 and 1982. They won there last world cup in 1994. I think they are ranked 18 in the world now. It’s nice to see India reemerge as one of the top teams. But hockey is not the same. It’s more like football
Im from Malaysia. I was 12 in 1975, and the entire school gathered to watch it live.. Those were the days..
I was 14 and was in Delhi. I heard radio commentary.
Loving the skills of Ashok kumar awesome !!!!
Pakistan's left in Samiuallah runs like an Hare, very dangerous (Jasdev Singh). He fell and broke his collar bone. Just shared a memory.

Everyone say cricket is dominating in india because of 1983 world cup and Everyone started playing cricket but we won world cup in hockey before cricket but now hockey is not much recognized as cricket
This was played in Kuala Lumpur on 15 March 1975.
I only remember this slightly, I remember I was upset after Pakistan lost. I was a little boy back then, however after this - pakistan went out to win 3 world cups...pakistan team was amazing during late 70s and 80s, almost unbeatable. unfortunately cricket has taken over pakistan and hockey is no longer important
india won 6 worldd cup

Many many thanks to Mr. Satwant Singh for sharing this priceless video.
What a legendary starcast lined up in this WC final from both teams. Ajitpal Singh, Ashok Kumar, Aslam Sher Khan, Harcharan Singh, Mohinder Singh, Surjit Singh, Govinda, Philips, Shivaji Pawar, Islahuddin Siddiqui, Safdar Abbas, Akhtar Rasool, Samiullah Khan, Zahid Sheikh, Manzoor Jr, Manzoor Hasan, Munawwar uz Zaman and others ..... just sublime.
And what a delightful display of sub-continent hockey skills. Fast paced, attack based, dribbling galore ..... this is what hockey is about.
Many tx once again to Mr. Satwant Singh!
Even goal keepers from India Ashok Dewan , Leslie Fernandez and also Salim Sherwani from Pakistan were great players in their respective positions.
Hockey than used to be the most skillful game ,not just power packed and pace.
It was a delight to watch dribbling body swerve dodge and small passes

It was a Great game - Thanks for uploading
Many thanks to Satwant Ji for the great vedeo.I salute Indian Team for winning Hockey world cup.
We need to start playing field hockey on real grass instead of astroturf so that India/Pakistan can dominate world hockey again. Astroturf ruins the game -- it's not fun to watch, and it just looks like ice hockey. Also, it's unfair on Asian countries because it's expensive, not to mention bad for the environment. This is much more subtle and interesting, I feel, instead of just being a raw power game. The Europeans were crap at hockey, and then they introduced astroturf which killed our game.
Thanks Satvant singh ji ❤
In contrast to the Olympic gold won,Pakistan have a far better record than India when it comes to the World Cup.
India only won the World Cup once in 1975 in Kuala Lumpur.Their final opponents then were Pakistan who because of a controversial goal had to settle for the silver in the 2-1 defeat.
But Pakistan made amends for that painful 1975 World Cup final defeat by winning the fourth edition of the World Cup in Argentina beating Holland 3-2 in the final.Whereas India suffered the ignominy of losing 7-0 to West Germany and to Canada 2-0.
Then India hosted the fifth edition of the World Cup in 1981/1982 but failed to qualify for the semifinals losing 4-3 to Holland and 2-1 to Australia.In contrast Pakistan emerged as the World Cup champions for the third winning all its matches in style including a 12-3 rout of New Zealand and a 3-1 beating of West Germany in the final.
While India continuously failed to regain back the World Cup Pakistan won their fourth World Cup in Sydney edging Holland in the final via penalty flicks.
Yes it is a fact.Pakistan have a far better World Cup record than India although the latter won eight Olympic gold medals the last at the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
8 Olympic Golds + 1 World Cup - still the greatest hockey playing nation on earth. Have a clear difference of 2 titles against all the rest !
I was 13 years old when India and Pak played this final and India lifted the world cup Hockey. For us Young India ( just 28 years after Independence) this was a very proud moment. I remember our family had gone out for lunch with family friends at the fancy Ashoka restaurant Nagpur. But my friends and brother could NOT concentrate on the food. So we stood outside the restaurant at a paan thela where we could listen to the live commentary of the legendary Jasdev singh and others. I remember vividly ( it was a tense and close contest) when India scored the winning goal through Ashok Kumar and when the long whistle blew and India was world champions, we broke into a frenzied dance and people joined and there was a big traffic jam on the main street. there were mad celebrations. Hockey had brought name and fame to Indian sports whereas we were not doing well in cricket those days. Great moments for India and the Indian team and the Pakistani team were also absolutely brilliant! It was an amazing contest. Hockey at that time was MUCH MORE POPULAR than cricket! it was after this victory that the EUROPEAN TEAMS realized they could NOT match India and pak in field hockey -- played on natural grass and they INVENTED Artifical turf CALLED ASTRO TURF which should have never happened. it was done only because European nations did NOT have the brilliant talent subcontinent had and the whole game was CONVERTED into pure power play ( no skills needed... only strength!) and this LED to the DEATH of Hockey's popularity. Aaj bhi if Hockey is moved back to natural grass as it should have always been India and pak would be the best teams in the world. Shame on Hockey federation International to have allowed this CHEATING and FOUL PLAY
Aweosme
Absolutely well said.
True, I support your comments. The recent power play hockey on the astro turf really killed the Asian style, which was noted for stick work and artistry.
It should be shame on india Pak malayasian & other asian federations, to allow FIH to hijack playing turf & rules to suit European teams.
As they say " United we stand divided we fall".
@@visnuprasan1699 aap shayad young hain. In those days Suth East Asian countries like India , Malaysia and Pakistan had no say in the matter whether cricket hockey or football. Today the things have completely reversed after 50 years. India is top decision maker in cricket and major decision maker in hockey. In fact it's Saud that India is cricket and cricket is India! Western countries ( like Australia and UK) which used to attack us with racial slurs 40 years back their players are lining up to get jobs in India's IPL. Times have changed for India Vishnu 💪😊
It is so far India's first and only World Cup victory.Remember India despite eight Olympic gold medal triumphs have yet still to regain the World Cup they last won in 1975.I was fifteen then when Ajitpal Singh and his men ran around at the Merdeka Stadium celebrating India's World Cup victory.
Who was the caption of indian hockey team at the time of first hockey world cup?
what a match ,, stunning performance of Indian Hockey team ,, Jay hind
Thanks for posting this video.I was 12 in 1975 .even today,I remember words of comentator Jaswant Singh.
Golden moment. I watched this match live on tv as a 12 yrs old boy at home with family. Being Malaysian indians of tamil origin, We were very happy to witness the nemerous time Olympic champion to be crowned as the world champion in our soil. I still have the news paper cuttings pasted in my large 'sports book' about the match including the whole Malaysian and lndian teams. Malaysia achieved 4th place with many lndian (Tamil) players in our national team. Sadly, that was the best ever achievement by us. Thereafter and to date, the performance of Msian team is in shamble. Anyway, happy to note lndia hockey is back @ Tokyo 2020 with a bronze winning achievement.
Wonderful to hear this. Even I remember a few Malaysian Hockey players in that 3rd World Cup. I remember Poon Folk Loke, who really wept after losing the semi-finals with India. The famous Umpire Vijaynanthan Kulasingham, who officiated the finals is also a good friend of mine now, through Whatsapp.
यह शायद अंतिम अंतरराष्ट्रीय हाॅकी मैच था जो घास के मैदान पर खेला गया था।यह भारतीय हॉकी का आखिरी सर्वाधिक गौरवशाली क्षण था। कलात्मक हाॅकी मैच का अद्भुत उदाहरण।

indeed that day was a great moment in the history of indian hockey.but nowadays when india play matches against the top teams like AUS,GER AND NED they loses which makes me sad .actually india and pakistan dominated this sport.but when astro-turf were introduced indian hockey starts declining.that was the strategy of european nations to end india's and pakistan domination. still i hope that these 2 nations will play another world cup final in the near future.THE RIVALRY WILL GOES ON FOREVER...

It did get as much attention at that time. The attention is lost now , no one's fault the game changed a alot .

Thank u Satwant singhji,I listened the commentary was extremely happy to see India winning the world cup,incidentally it was my 21st birth day,a wonderful feeling.
Great though the Indian team that won the 1975 World Cup team but their failure to beat Australia in a group match drawing only 1-1 was the harbinger of things to come.
Australia had sounded a warning to the eventual World Cup champions not to take them lightly in future meeting.
India basked in winning the 1975 World Cup beating their arch rival Pakistan 2-1 in the final.That World Cup triumph in Kuala Lumpur made up for the painful penalty flicks defeat to host Holland in the 1973 final at Amsterdam.Then India led 2-0 with a brace from Surjit Singh and should have scored more after that.But the Dutch short corner specialist Ties Kruize equalized also with a brace at 2-2.With barely thirty one seconds left on the clock India were awarded a penalty stroke.B.P.Govinda had the great chance to score and the World Cup could be India's.But he blew that chance and Maarten Sikkings made a great save.
Yes that 1975 World Cup triumph at the Merdeka Stadium made up for the bitter disappointment of losing the 1973 final.
But one country in particular already have spotted weaknesses and vulnerabilities in the Indian team.They had learnt a lot from that 1-1 draw with India in a group match in Kuala Lumpur.Australia that is and the Kockaburras will indeed be a haunting nightmare for India in the years to come and even until now.
The following year at the Montreal Summer Olympics in 1976 the nightmare for Indian hockey began.Australia handed a 6-1 thrashing to India.The Kockaburras indeed would be the nemisis to India in international hockey.
Correct. Australia has been India's nemesis since the 1980's. Even in India's dark days - we cud gather some result against Germany or the Netherlands but the Aussies were a tough nut to crack. Have not figured out why?. Actually the Aussies play similar to us compared to the power game of Germany or Holland.
YES I AM FROM TAMIL NADU THE THAT PRODUCED MANY HOCKEY GREATS OF THE LIKES OF RANGANATHAN FRANCIS BHASKARAN VJ PHILIPS VJ PETER MOHAMMED RIYAZ AND MANY MORE FOR INDIA BUT MOST OF THEM HAD TO LIVE IN PENURY EXCEPT A FEW THANKS TO UNDUE IMPORTANCE GIVEN TO CRICKET OBSCENITY IN INDIA
Hockey had many great players but it was not promoted like cricket . Hockey needed a Jagmohan Dalmia who would have made Hockey sellable
I remember watching this match live on TV as a 16-year-old. The match-winning goal by Ashok Kumar was highly controversial. In fact, it was never a goal & was wrongly allowed by the referee. The replay had clearly shown that and that is the reason the replay of this goal has been hidden in this video.
sore loser
Golden period of indian hockey,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Yes this 1975 Indian team captained by Ajitpal Singh thus far is the only team to win the World Cup and that was achieved by beating arch rivals Pakistan 2-1 at the Merdeka Stadium in Kuala Lumpur.
It has been 46 years since India won the World Cup but unfortunately future Indian national teams have failed to win the World Cup.
As if the 1975 World Cup triumph is like a "curse" to India just like England winning the football 1966 World Cup at Wembley.
India's 1975 World Cup victory came with a heavy price because at the same Australia were analysing and studying the strengths and weaknesses of India that came in handy the following year at the 1976 Montreal Olympics.And India were very fortunate to escape with a 1-1 draw in a group match against the Kookaburras at the same World Cup at Kuala Lumpur.
Sheer nostalgia. Cant forget this world cup ever. Especially the final ,the commentary which I heard on the radio as a young lad of 10 years. When Pakistan scored first ,I remember switching off the radio in despair and switching it on later on with great anxiety to find the scores tied!! Amidst nail biting tension I listened to the rest of the match and India's historic win. What a team that was. Sadly with the unwarranted rise in cricket , hockey was sidelined and these heroes forgotten. For me this was India's greatest sporting moment ever. I didn't sleep after that full night with the excitement and next day the Goan daily screamed the headlines'India's greatest hour''. So many functions to felicitate the 1983 cricket world cup winning team but none for these heroes. Shame
Yes, I too had tears in my eyes seeing this video. Watching all those great players bringing India glory. Salute you guys.

That 1975 3rd World Cup hockey final between India and Pakistan at the Merdeka Stadium was beamed live by RTM on the afternoon of March 15.
I was then fifteen and was about to sit for the LCE in seven months time.
In 1975 there was no coloured TV transmission until 1978.So it was in black and white when Malaysian hockey fans including me watched that historic classic between two Asian hockey giants.
Pakistan were technically and tactically the superior side but India were more determined and spirited.Moreover Pakistan had to do without skipper Abdul Rashid who was injured just before the tournament.
And India came back strongly despite being a goal down like what they did with Malaysia in the semi finals to win 2-1 albeit with the winning goal a controversial one awarded by the late umpire G.Vijayanathan.

When he was to hit the penalty corner strike, we knew he would score.
After the victory they returned to their camp and went to the same practicing ground and paid their thankful gratitude to the ground.
