The Applause
“Jugantar Patrika” (15 kartik 1345)
Bengali year published “ the talent displayed by Hatkhola club’s
new swimmer Sachin Nag is unparallel in present day swimming, the
way he competed and beat the swimming champion Rajaram has attracted
the peoples appreciation, there is no doubt about that”
Hindustan Standard
(Monday October 31, 1938) wrote “Young swimmer Shines- Nag’s
Impressive Display- “He scored remarkable success in 100 meters free
style by giving the defeat to Rajaram Sawoo in what may be described
as record timing for the distance. It was, however, a close race-
the finish being particularly thrilling.
Nag looked much the fresher between the two. Possessed of the fine
athletic built he seems to have a bright future as swimmer”
Statesman (11 Sep
1939) wrote “Sachin Nag was the hero of the meeting. He won the
open 200 meters free style beating Madan Sinha (2 min. 28.3.5 sec.)
beating the record timing set by Durga Das (2 min 29 sec) Nag beat
Dilip Mitra in the 100 meter free style, his timing equally the All
India record 1 min 4 sec. held by Dilip Mitra”.

(3rd Sep 1940) “A new all India record in 100 meters free style
was the most brilliant feature of 24th Annual Aquatic Sports meeting
of Bhowanipore Swimming Association at the Landsdown Square Tank on
Sunday. Sachin Nag of Hatkhola put a really commendable performance
when he covered the 100 meters in 1 min 2-2/5 sec. Thus he lowered
the previous best record of 1min 4 sec setup by Dilip Mitra. In this
race he beat the well known swimmer Rajaram Sawoo, while in 400
meters Nag defeated the all India champion Madan Sinha”

Patrika wrote (8 Sep 1940) “The outstanding performance of the
evening was that of Sachin Nag’s triumph in 100 and 400 meters, in
100 meters Nag bettered his own All India record made last at
Bhowanipore Tank, at Bhawanipore Nag covered in 1 min 2-2/5 sec and
last night he did it in 1min 2-1/5 seconds”
Ananda Bazar
Patrika wrote (24th Baishakh, 1355) : Sachin Nag made a new
record of 1 min and 4 second breaking his own record of 1 min 4.2
sec.
After 5 months of being bed ridden for some accident and only within
3 months of normal movement, setting a new record is indeed a sign
of great achievement.
