This victory had brought great honor to the country because India had for the first time participated in these Games as an independent nation and for the first time, the Indian Tri-Color was unfurled in the Olympic arena and National Anthem 'Jana, Gana, Mana' was played.
To je bio nezaboravnim trenutkom za Indiju, pobjeda koja je donijela veliku čast Indiji, jer je po prvi puta sudjelovala na OI kao neovisna država i po prvi puta sa indijska trobjnica zavihorila na olimpijskoj areni i po prvi puta se zasvirala himna 'Jana, Gana, Mana'.
