Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency Kolkata: July 29, 1911, is the history of Indian football. July 29 is the story of a group of Bengalis defeating a group of Britishers barefoot. Which has also been written in the history of Indian independence. This victory on the football field gave a new impetus to the independence movement. And that day has also been written in the list of successes of Mohun Bagan. Those 11 Bengalis played in the Mohun Bagan jersey that day. The club has been celebrating this day as Mohun Bagan Day since 2001. When Kolkata was flooded with heavy rain, there was not an inch of lack in that hope. From the flooded Kolkata Maidan to the gate of Netaji Indoor, there were rows of green-maroon jerseys. An old father was crossing the water with his son on his shoulders. It is said to be a historic day for the beloved club.
