On the occasion of BR Ambedkar’s birth anniversary the crew reflects on the hypocrisy prevalent in Indian society and how it has left a blot even in sport. It all begins with the obsession with cult of personality without embracing the philosophies that made these men -- India's sporting heroes -- who they were. Jaydeep Basu also talks about Fred Pugsley, East Bengal’s first foreign player with a story unlike any other. A man of unmatched talent, a refugee and the striker who changed the Kolkata derby forever.
