<p><strong>New Delhi: </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gama Pehlwan, considered unbeatable in the ring, was one of the top wrestlers of all time. &lsquo;The Great Gama&rsquo; remained undefeated in international matches throughout his career, and was even given the title of &ldquo;Tiger&rdquo; after he won the World Wrestling Championship in 1927. His real name was Ghulam Mohammad Baksh Butt, and is commonly known as Rustam-e-Hind.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It&rsquo;s Gama Pehlwan&rsquo;s 144th birth anniversary on Sunday, May 22, and the day&rsquo;s Google Doodle celebrates his life and accomplishments. Created by guest artist Vrinda Zaveri, the doodle shows Gama holding a gada (mace) and ready for a bout.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Born on May 22, 1878, Gama started wrestling at a young age.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The <a title="Google Doodle page on Gama Pehlwan" href="https://www.google.com/doodles/gama-pehlwans-144th-birthday?client=safari" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Google Doodle page on Gama Pehlwan</a> says his workout routine included 500 lunges and 500 pushups when he was only 10 years old. He won a lunge contest in 1888, competing with over 400 wrestlers from around the country. He was said to have been 15 years old when he picked up wrestling as a profession. He went on to become a national hero and world champion by 1910.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He stayed in Lahore after Partition, and died there in 1960.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gama won many titles throughout his career that spanned around five decades, and was said to have been presented a silver mace by the Prince of Wales who had visited India to honor him.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">It is said that legendary martial artiste and actor Bruce Lee was inspired by Gama and had incorporated the latter&rsquo;s techniques.</span></p>
