In December 1970, the Indian men's water polo team won a silver medal at the Bangkok Asian Games, going down to Japan 2-4 in the final. That has been Indian water polo's finest moment internationally.
The waterpolo fraternity with the Swimming Federation of India (SFI) recently held a zoom meet, to celebrate 50 golden years of this famous silver medal win.
