2. Milkha Singh Milkha Singh  (20 November 1929 – 18 June 2021), [a] [1]  also known as  The Flying Sikh , was an Indian track and field  sprinter  who was introduced to the sport while serving in the  Indian Army . He is the only athlete to win gold at  400 metres  at the  Asian Games  as well as the  Commonwealth Games . He also won gold medals in the 1958 and  1962 Asian Games . He represented India in the  1956 Summer Olympics  in  Melbourne , the  1960 Summer Olympics  in Rome and the  1964 Summer Olympics  in Tokyo. He was awarded the  Padma Shri , India's fourth-highest civilian honour, in recognition of his sporting achievements. The race for which Singh was best remembered is his fourth-place finish in the 400 metres final at the 1960 Olympic Games, which he had entered as one of the favourites. He led the race till the 200m mark before easing off, allowing others to pass him. Various records were broken in the race, which required a  photo-finish  and saw American  Otis Davis  being declared the winner by one-hundredth of a second over German  Carl Kaufmann . Singh's fourth-place time of 45.73 seconds was the  Indian national record  for almost 40 years. From beginnings that saw him orphaned and  displaced  during the  Partition of India , Singh has become a sporting icon in his country. In 2008, journalist Rohit Brijnath described Singh as "the finest athlete India has ever produced

3. Personal Life As of 2012, Singh lived in Chandigarh. After struggle to his life meet with Nirmal Kaur , the captain of the Indian women’s volleyball team in 1955 and married her in 1962. The couple has three daughters and one son. The son of Milkha is a Jeev Milkha Singh is a famous Golfer. In 1999 , the couple adopted the seven year old son of a soldier who died in the Battle of Tiger Hill. Milkha Singh has donated all his medals to the nation which were first displayed at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in New Delhi. He invented the Milkha Singh Charitable Trust in 2003 with the aim of helping needy sportspersons.

4. PROBLEMS FACED BY THEM Milkha Singh was around 15 years old at the time of Partition. His village, Kot Addu, was located in a remote area near Multan. No newspapers reached the village, and the villagers were unaware of the political events leading up to partition. The only way they received news was when someone travelled to the closest city to buy goods. But inter-community relations were strong. People lived in harmony. Mr. Singh studied in a mosque alongside students of different faiths. At the time, kabaddi and wrestling were popular sports. When a large frenzied mob arrived on the village’s outskirts, families stuck together to protect one another. A local leader tried negotiating with the mob, but he was shot. Before dawn the next morning, the mob entered the village. There was heavy gunfire that killed many. Mr. Singh tried hiding. He remembered seeing his father fight bravely until he was struck by a sword. When Mr. Singh’s father fell, he pleaded with his son to run for safety: “Bhaag Milkha, Bhaag.” Mr. Singh escaped from his village to a forest nearby, where he spent the entire night. He believed he had lost his whole family. Early next morning, he boarded a train to Delhi, and with the help of the passengers, hid in the women’s compartment.

5. The Flying Sikh Milkha Singh is the first Sikh and the only Indian to have broken an Olympic track record. He was also the first Indian to reach Olympic Finals. Milkha Singh can be described as one of the most extraordinary athletes of our times. This man was a genius and a genius is never trained . Without any formal training , without any financial reward and without any emotional support ( he lost his parents during Partition and he had only an elder brother and a sister for helpless hope ). Milkha Singh took on the greatest athletes of his time and proved himself as good if not better. The burst of speed with which he broke the previous Olympic Games record of 5.9 seconds in 400 meters is now a part of folk lore in Punjab. Tale of this story is repeated as part of Punjab ‘s rich heritage . Milkha is no less popular than pele in Brazil and Maradona in Argentina.

7. HARD WORK He overcome his problems through immense hardwork and he was a hardworking personality. who train for more than 7 hours everyday for a whole week. DEDICATION He was totally dedicated to his work like he used to run without shoes, he used to husstle and make whole nation proud. His dedication can be measured in such a way that even though he had to admit himself to hospital due to hard and long practising time but he never gave up. DISCLIPLINE He believes in discipline and want work according to it. he value the sense of discipline in every work weather it has to be sports or casual day working. He said that one who has these three qualities the only limit for them is sky

8. LEARNINGS FROM HIS LIFE Milkha Singh showed us that it's very important to become the person we always wish for. We should never doubt our dreams and shall work hard to make them a reality. It was Milkha Ji’s dream to serve in the Indian Army. He was living with his sister and brother-in-law for a long time before he finally got selected. When given a chance to run in a county race, Milkha Singh gave tough competition to all the experienced athletes. He believed in himself and the rest is history . Milkha Singh Ji had a very tough childhood. His parents were prosecuted in front of him during the partition. He was all alone while coming to India. Moreover, he was bullied a lot during his early childhood as he was an orphan. Milkha Singh Ji made sure this grief and pain helped him achieve greatness. He could have gone over the wrong path but he didn't let his past hinder his future. Milkha Singh ji always made sure he was the hardest worker in the room. He used to train irrespective of weather, pain or time. In the earlier days of his athletic career, he was still in the army. So, he had to manage the army as well as athletic training hand in hand which was two of the toughest training drills in the world. Eventually, all this hard work paid off when he represented India and won as many as 77 out of 80 race events he took part in. When Milkha Singh Ji joined the official Indian Athletic Team, he was assigned a coach. Ranbir Singh (his coach) used to train him in exceptionally hard terrains. These tough training drills were very draining but his coach told him the importance of these practice sessions and they kept working hard. The experience of the mentor and hard work of Milkha Singh Ji finally paid off when he beat the World Record in the Olympics in 1956 There are countless medals and accolades that have been awarded to Mr. Milkha Singh Ji. However, he never held possession of any of them. He gave them to Jawaharlal Nehru University. He didn't believe in materialistic success and wanted the youth of India to win gold for India in athletics. It's the legacy and journey that mattered to him and not the rewards

We began running barefoot , has no running shoes , no track suits , no money , no proper tracks , nothing at all. All that we had was fierce will- power , a will to work hard. We did that and reached where we are .” Milkha’s mission in life was to excel in running . The track , as he always said , was ‘an open book, in which he could read the meaning and purpose of life ‘.
