While one shouldn't dwell in the past, it shouldn't be forgotten either for it shapes events which play out in the future. Moneycontrol takes a look at some of the crucial episodes on June 7 which had a bearing on the fortunes of India and the world.
On this day in 1974, Indian tennis star Mahesh Bhupathi was born. In 1997, he became the first Indian to win a Grand Slam when he won the mixed doubles event at the French Open with Japan's Rika Haraki. What followed was a successful partnership with fellow Indian Leander Paes. The duo won two Grand Slams in 1999 and won several tour titles.
The pair had a famous falling out, but teamed up for international events such as the Olympics and Asian Games, winning a gold in the latter.
During a two-decade career, Bhupathi won a total of 12 Grand Slams, including mixed doubles success with Sania Mirza. He is now the non-playing captain of India's Davis Cup team.
