Rajeev Bagga Biography
Rajeev Bagga (born 6 April 1967) is an Indian born deaf badminton player, who represents Britain.
Initially, Rajeev used to prefer playing squash. In 1981 he won the sub-junior title in squash (at age 13). Subsequently however, he moved to badminton where “eyesight would be more effective than hearing”. He played in the Junior nationals for several years, and won the Maharashtra state level championship five times in a row, and eventually became national champion in 1991.
His father, Brigadier S R Bagga, was an active racquet sportsman. His mother was also a state-level badminton player. His brother and sister are also sportsmen, his brother having played at the national level in squash, and also defeated him in a key badminton finals in 1981.
In 1990, he reached the main stage of the All-England open, defeating the Korean player Ahen Chang in the third round of the qualification.
He was Indian national champion, and reached main stage of the 1990 All England Open Badminton Championships, the only deaf person to do so. He has won 12 golds and been singles champion at the Deaflympics from 1989 to 2001, and was named ‘Deaflympian of the Century’ by the Comité International des Sports des Sourds (International Committee of Deaf Sports) in 2001. In 1991, he won India’s highest sports honour, the Arjuna award.
Like most Indian players, he had difficulties with sports officialdom. In 1993 his participation in the Deaflympics was not formalized by the Badminton Association of India and led to considerable controversy.
Despite his deafness, Bagga is also a notable doubles player, and won the national championships in 1997, partnering with Vinod Kumar.
He remains active in sports, and won the 2008 All-England veteran men’s singles (over 40). He narrowly missed his sixth Deaflympics gold in 2009. 2003 and 2007 he won the gold medal in the men’s singles at the World Deaf Badminton Championships.
