#icymi On 5 August 2020, Pakistan released a political map that laid claim to the erstwhile Junagadh princely state, now in Gujarat, and listed Jammu and Kashmir as disputed territory. In Ep 541 of #CutTheClutter, originally published on 5 August 2020, Editor-in-Chief Shekhar Gupta discusses Pakistan's fantasy map, why Sardar Patel called Junagadh Jinnah's 'pawn' while Kashmir and Hyderabad were the ‘king' and ‘queen' on the Partition chessboard.

Today I am delighted to have on the show arguably one of the greatest and most successful squash coaches of all time Rahamt Khan.Rahmat has a superb story and journey to tell and he brings it to life wonderfully in this episode and I feel so lucky and grateful to have spent this time and to have this conversation with him. Rahmat was the coach of legendary squash player Jahangir Khan. Who famously won an incredible 555 matches IN A ROW! The greatest winning steak in sporting history for any individual or team and has since had books and features made about this incredible feat. Rahmat had a large part to play in this record as well as the other titles Jahangir achieved most notably 10 British Open titles and 6 World Championship Titles. Rahmat himself was a top professional player back in the late 70s and early 80s but had decided to end his playing career early in order to coach and mentor Jahangir due to the tragic and untimely deaths of Jahangir broth Torsam whilst playing a squash match. Rahmat and Torsam were incredibly close friends and this untimely death of Torsam took everyone by surprise and changed the course of squash history. He shares this story in great detail.During our conversation we delve into the mind and mental state of what made Jahangir such an icon and achieve all the success he did. Rahmat shares some of the intense and brutal training that was performed and how the motivation of playing for Torsam was a guiding force in regard to them both turning up day in and day out and doing everything for a greater cause. This is such a wonderfully beautiful description of a very special time in squash history and I am sure you are going to enjoy this conversation as much as I did recording it. Thank you kindly to Rahmat taking the time to sit with me and please do sit back and enjoy what we discuss today. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Before we begin with the topic of today's show (shout out to Ricky from Philly for the suggestion!), you'll hear about Wael's experience of opening up Kinetic Racquet Club in Delray Beach, Florida, and why he went with a multiple-sport model instead of opening a club dedicated purely to squash. As you have probably guessed from the title, this episode focuses on the greatest sportsmen and women of all time. Wael and the hosts share their opinions on the people who have revolutionized the sports of golf, tennis, soccer, basketball and baseball, and some points of contention arise around Usain Bolt's level of recognizability, and Diego Maradona's level of integrity. Then, of course, the discussion swings to the greatest players of all time in the greatest game of all time. Wael also shares some inside information about a few players he has had personal dealings with, and how squash has changed over the years. To end, Wael explains why he decided to write Ready, Set, Squash! and the impact that he hopes it will have.    Key Points From This Episode:   Conor's experience of appendicitis. A shout out to Ricky from Philly for the topic of today's episode.  An introduction to Wael El Hindi and his various achievements. Reasons that Wael saw a lot of potential for squash in Delray Beach. Challenges that Wael was faced with when setting up Kinetic Racquet Club.  Response that Wael's club has received since opening 30 days ago. Why it is beneficial to have racquet clubs that cater to multiple racquet sports, and the three racquet sports available at Kinetic Racquet Club.  The fastest growing sport in the United States. How Tiger Woods changed the sport of golf.  Michael Jordan's worldwide and long enduring influence.  Statistics which highlight Wayne Gretsky's dominance in hockey.  Deigo Maradona's transformative effect on the world of soccer (and PJ's tainted view).   The hosts differing views on Usain Bolt's recognizability.  Pele's impressive achievements, which earned him a spot as one of PJ's picks for today.  Muhammed Ali's impact on the world, inside and out of the ring.   Roger Federer as the torch carrier for tennis.  Tom Brady; multiple reasons why he was chosen by all the hosts as one of their top three.  Characteristics of Wael's picks for the best male and best female squash players.  A discussion around Jahangir Khan's style of playing, who PJ has seen live.  Heather McKay's phenomenal career; only dropping two games in a 16-year period!  How the game of squash differs now, compared to when Wael was playing professionally.  The person Wael most dreaded playing against.  Players who Conor and Bill think have changed the game of squash, and why. Squash; the person who transitioned the game from amateur to professional, and the impact he had on Wael's career.   Why Wael decided to write Ready, Set, Squash!, what he hopes the book will achieve, who it is aimed at, and where you can find it.   Tweetables:   “The idea was to try to get kids to get through a lot of other sports before they switch to squash.” — Wael El Hindi [0:08:44]   “Having a mixture of racquet sports involved, that you could get them excited again for another week of training for squash again.” — Wael El Hindi [0:10:39]   “To me [Usain Bolt] is just pure talent, and the way that he used his body to break that record was just something that changed the world.” — Wael El Hindi [0:20:44]   “In my era it was more about the tactics than the physicality. Now it's obviously a mixture of both.” — Wael El Hindi [0:44:24]   “I wanted to share some of the information that helped me break down things during my lessons.” — Wael El Hindi [0:54:35]   Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:   Wael El Hindi on LinkedIn Wael El Hindi on Instagram Ready, Set, Squash!  Ready, Set, Squash Website Kinetic Indoor Racquet Club The Last Dance Victory Squash Radio Conor O'Malley on Twitter Bill Buckingham on Twitter Squash 57 REACH OUT:  FAN FOLLOW UP > The Appendix!!

Chris Walker reached the world's top 5, the World Open semi, the British Open final, and has the honor of being Jahangir Khan's final professional scalp. In part 1 of this two part chat, Chris provides all of us plenty of food for thought through some incredible anecdotes, insight and inspiration from his playing days.

Today we welcome legendary New Zealander, Stuart Davenport. Winner of the British Junior Open in 1982, Stuart had an amazing career that saw him reach a career high of 3 in the world before retiring in his mid 20s. Stuart takes us back and talks about his career, the game today, how it differs from the 80s, what remains the same. His thoughts on Jahangir Khan. Having had an Egyptian coach, Mohamed Dardir, he gives his spin on Egyptian Squash, Paul Coll, blocking and some great anecdotes along the way.

Winning streaks are the crown jewel for individuals and teams. There are few who can ignore a prolonged winning streak. Jahangir Khan was the most winning athlete of all time.  In his prestigious career he won 555 matches in a row. He was a force to be reckoned with in the world of Squash. Before he could win all of those matches he had a streak of a different kind, the consecutive streak.  Cal Ripkin Jr. was the model of the consecutive streak. He played 2,632 Major League Baseball games in a row. The Baltimore Orioles didn't win every game that Cal played, but he was in every game that they could win.  The first victory of any victory is showing up.

Más que un cacho de carne - Un deportista es practicamente un ser humano. La historia del squashista pakistaní Jahangir Khan

Since 2002, Adil Maqbool has maintained the UAE's #1 ranking, and after some time away from the pro game he's back playing again. One of the game's most talented with the racket, he's had his hands full over the past few years juggling parenthood duties (father of three), a new business (IT related), and his pro squash aspirations. His squash backstory, teaming up with his father, is unconventional if not intriguing and unique. We talk about this and then get into a wide-ranging discussion on the Super Series finals in Dubai, junior development and how Pakistan can put itself back on the map, a topic in which Rod Gilmore and Alan Thatcher quoted his father Maqbool Khawaja in the book Jahangir Khan 555.

For squash players who grew up playing the game in the 80s, we grew up idolizing Jahangir Khan, and synonymous with Jahangir was his iconic coach Rahmat Khan. Rahmat helped guide Jahangir to a record 10 British Open titles, and the backstory behind their success is one we can all learn from. Rahmat describes the challenges Jahangir had early on following the death of his brother Torsem, and how this ultimately laid the groundwork for the unwavering discipline, focus and professionalism that characterized the Jahangir/Rahmat partnership throughout the years. Rahmat talks of the Jansher v. Jahangir rivalry,JK's highly successful foray into the North American hardball scene, how JK managed to remain injury free through all those years, the current state of squash in Pakistan, and his take on the current era of squash.

In this episode, we connect with Alan Thatcher, who has been helping to grow the Sport of Squash at all levels from the Professional Tour down to the grassroots.  Several years ago he launched www.squashmad.com which is a fantastic sources for news, articles, activities on how to the grow the sport but most recently he released a book he co-authored with Rod Gilmour called “Jahangir Khan 555: The Untold Story Behind Squash's Invincible Champion and Sport's Greatest Unbeaten Run.”In our conversation, we cover a range of topics from a behind the scenes look at writing his most recent book as well as his role with the Canary Wharf Professional Squash Tournament.  But also get into the weeds about his grass roots efforts of growing the sport and some key factors that could truly help sharing the sport we all love.  We both thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and hope you do too!       *********************************************  Alan Thatcher 555: The untold story of Jahangir KhanThe inside story of an amazing unbeaten run in squash:Published by Pitch and available on Amazon and Kindle. 2017 SELECT GAMING KENT OPEN:PSA World Tour $10k event at The Mote Squash Club, Maidstone, Kent from June 11-18.Editor and Publisher:www.squashmad.com CANARY WHARF SQUASH CLASSIC: March 5-9, 2018www.canarywharfsquash.com Chairman, The Mote Squash Club *********************************************Based on the current feedback, more of our listeners are leaning towards the extended version which is why we’ve only released one version of this episode.  If you have a different opinion, please let us know via email squashradio@gmail.com.  As always, thanks for listening!
