One Man Army of Delhi Squash   

Junior Squash in Delhi is on an upswing like never before (and I am considering the glorious days in the late 80's when SRAD organized various camps and tournaments that I enjoyed as a Junior). And there is a hyperactive busy-bee behind this upswing. Encouraging several youngsters to join the game and to participate in tournaments, reviving Squash where old courts exist, encouraging schools to build courts and make Squash part of their activities is a man described as a 'one man army' by his wards- Rahul Chadda. Engrossed in escorting his players at the Junior Nationals and ensuring their welfare throughout, ISP's A.I.Singh had to wait till the last day before an interview could take place. Here are the excerpts-

A.I.- Tell us about your playing background.
Rahul- I started playing Squash at the Defence Services Officer's Institute, Delhi, when in 11th standard. I won a Handicap tournament there, beating the then Naval No-1- Cdr Subaya and remained the champ at DSOI for 3 years in Squash as well as Tennis. I played for the Hindu College team for 3 years. Then went to UK for further studies and business in 1976. There, I played the N.W. Middlesex League for Wembley Stadium. My best performance was taking a game off world No. 13 Mohd. Ali Somjee, six times Irish Champion. (Rahul has done exceedingly well in Over-45/senior events off late, and is known for his gritty determination).

A.I.- And background in promoting the game?
Rahul- When in UK, I met coaches Rehmat Khan and Mohd. Yasin, and Jehangir Khan. When Unsquashable launched its rackets, I took up the agency for Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Luxembourg. This entailed tours around Europe to promote the brand as well as Squash with Jehangir after he became Amateur Champ. I helped in placement of several players as coaches in Germany- such as Karimullah Khan, Zahir Khan, Hassan Khan etc. I arranged an exhibition match between Geoff Hunt and Jehangir Khan at Bavaria Squash Centre in Munich. Also, I arranged the first live match coverage on TV in Germany of matches between Rehmat Khan, Jehangir Khan and Capt. Ali Raza at Berlin through Unsquashable. Later, I returned to India in 1996 and joined Squash Rackets Association of Delhi (SRAD) as Executive Committee Member and organized several tournaments. Delhi Squash Association (DSA) emerged in around 1999, of which I was Secretary in 2003-2004. Dhampur age fudging and other matters diluted DSA's credibility and I formed an association with Sandip Dixit, (M.P.) a Squash enthusiast.

A.I. What motivates you to toil so hard for the game of Squash?
Rahul- My son being a Squash player is one motivating factor!

A.I.- Do you ever feel intimidated by the sorry state of affairs in Indian Squash politics?
Rahul- Never. But I feel for the players at the receiving end.

A.I.- What's your vision?
Rahul- We have the right committee for Delhi. More courts are in the pipeline for kids outside the club system. This augers well for Delhi Squash.
