Book Review: Unbridled – The Garcha Way


The book is an intriguing memoir giving insights into the life of Colonel Kuldeep Singh Garcha, who is not only a widely celebrated Indian polo player but also an Arjuna Awardee.


Col Kuldeep Singh Garcha’s journey is one of grit, grace, and unwavering dedication—from serving in the elite 61st Cavalry of the Indian Army to becoming a towering figure in Indian polo. This book traces his inspiring path, capturing the essence of a life defined by purpose and passion. Widely celebrated as the ‘Guru of Indian Polo’, Col Garcha’s story begins in the prestigious Indian Military Academy, where his love for horses took root. His years in the 61st Cavalry laid the groundwork for a remarkable polo career, which unfolds in vivid detail in this elegantly written book, co-authored by Amazon No. 1 bestselling author Geetika Saigal.

The heart of the book lies in Col Garcha’s deep love for polo, brought to life in every chapter. Each anecdote offers a fresh perspective, making it a valuable read for both seasoned players and those new to the sport.

Recollections of tournaments and pivotal moments provide rich insights and learnings. But this is more than just a book about polo—it’s a source of inspiration. As the former captain of the Indian national polo team shares his journey, he does so with palpable passion and sincerity.


Woven through the narrative is a quiet wisdom—lessons in humility, discipline, and resilience—that resonate far beyond the polo field, offering life guidance for readers from all walks of life.

Another compelling aspect of the book is the portrayal of a father’s enduring bond with his son, as Col Garcha passes the torch to his successor, Satinder Garcha—a notable polo player and inspiring entrepreneur in his own right.

The chapters also delve into the personal struggles and challenges they faced along the way, culminating in the founding of the renowned Jaipur Riding and Polo Club—a heartfelt tribute by the Colonel to the enduring spirit of polo in India.

This book is more than a memoir—it’s a heartfelt expression of an army veteran and polo legend, brought to life through the collaboration of Col Kuldeep Singh Garcha and Geetika Saigal. A must-read for young aspirants seeking humility, determination, and discipline.
