Yes, Makhan pipped Milkha in 21st national games: Govt
Question raised in Parliament on Hoshiarpur sprinter, who died unsung in penury in 2002
New Delhi, August 17
Call it pure providence or just the way Indian system functions but Makhan Singh, an athlete who won a 400-meter race by defeating legendary sprinter Milkha Singh, died unsung in penury in 2002, leaving behind a family who is struggling to survive more than 10 years down the line. While Milkha Singh’s life was celebrated by the Bollywood in the film “Bhaag Milkha Bhaag”, Rajya Sabha MP Avinash Rai Khanna, who raised a question on financial assistance to family of Makhan Singh in Parliament last week, wonders whether the story of the bright track and field athlete from the Hoshiarpur district in Punjab, would inspire the government to ensure some permanent measure to pull his family out of despair.
