Ghulam Muhammad, also known as The ‘Great Gama’ and Gama Pehalwan was probably the greatest wrestler to ever walk the surface of the earth. With an undefeated career spanning over five decades, the legend of Gama Pehalwan was built in the mud pits and akharas of pre-independence rural India. Such was his fame and popularity that even Bruce Lee drew inspiration from him.Born in Amritsar in 1878, Gama was awarded the World Heavyweight title in 1910 after he defeated international wrestlers in London. Legend has it, that he once lifted a stone weighing over 1,200 kilograms and left the audience of Baroda gasping. The stone is now preserved in the Baroda Museum
