One is really sad in knowing that a great man like DARA SINGH is no more. He will be remembered for ages for his strength and humility.
He was a true icon. I have seen him twice 'up, close and personal, in my life. One felt really good and strong after meeting him. I was also fortunate to see him when he referred the wrestling match between Ch Chandgi Ram and Meherdin. A truly historic match.
No one looked smarter in a Red T-Shirt and White Trousers than DARA SINGH. I saw him in this dress in 1971 or 72 near Karnal on a road side tea stall while going to Chandigarh.
I have no doubt that if there is GOD and HEAVEN; DARA SINGH will sit right next to the Almighty.
RIP.
