Hi friends,
Torsam Khan was tall, handsome and a promising squash player.

His father, Roshan Khan, being British Open champion himself in 1957, dreamed that one day Torsam would also become a world champion.
In November 1979, Torsam went to participate in the Australian Open. His father was anxiously waiting for the good news of his victory. But he received the worst news of his life.  Torsam had died in the squash court while playing a match due to a sudden heart attack.
Jahangir, younger son of Roshan Khan, used to adore his elder brother like an idol. Jahangir, only 15 at the time of the tragedy, pledged to pay a unique tribute to his late brother. He pledged to accomplish the mission of Torsam Khan.
In 1981, only two years after the death of his brother, Jahangir Khan participated in the British Open and went on to win the championship. From that day, he remained undefeated for five long years. This is the longest winning streak in the history of squash. He won the British Open 10 times and World Championship five times. This was a fine tribute to his brother

Bye,
Syeda Maria
