Milkha Singh and Hunting?

Got some old "Shikaar" tales to share? Found a great new spot to Fish? Any interesting camping experiences? Discussion of Back-packing, Bicycling, Boating, National Parks, Wildlife, Outdoor Cooking & Recipes etc.

Milkha Singh and Hunting?

Post by Safarigent » Wed Jul 17, 2013 5:42 pm

I was reading all i could about Sh. Milkha Singh and came upon this article wherein a picture on the side caught my attention!!!!
Do have a look:

Does anyone here have any knowledge about his hunting exploits?
It would be great to see another side of this wonderful human being


P.S. on a side note, the indian army sure as hell didnt have mahindra 540s and 550s during milkha singhs time as shown in the hill running section of the movie.
To Excellence through Diligence.

Just read an article that mentions something about Milkha Singh and hunting, wonder if it is discussed in his documentary...
*Singh's interest in other sports like badminton and hunting was not explored in the film.
