She captained the Indian hockey team and if I remember correctly, India won the Asian Games gold medal under her stewardship. She received the Arjuna Award for outstanding contribution to sports.
The Britto sisters, Elvira and Rita too donned Indian colours. But I believe they were Mangaloreans as both represented Mysore in the nationals. Regards, Marshall Mendonza
