In dieser Angelegenheit

We live in a country with a population of 133 crores, 50% of which consists of women, but when you put on any TV channel you hardly see women on the screen. But since the past few years there has been a shift and we are delighted that this shift is happening. The thought of getting a closer look at their journeys was to learn the bumps they have faced on their way and more importantly how they overcame the difficulties.

Our interviewees this issue are national sports icons - stars and achievers in their respective fields with very inspirational journeys. Women’s Cricket in recent years has got a lot of coverage and been given weightage by the media and public; we have very often seen, heard or read about the Indian Women’s cricket team. We met up with Jhulan Goswami, the current No 1 wicket taker in the world of Women’s cricket and the ex-captain of the team. Listening to her made us believe that if you believe in your dreams and are ready to give it your all, nothing can stop you.

Dipa Karmakar, our Gymnast champion from a small town of Agartala showed the world that courage conquers it all. Her rigorous routine on the ‘vault of death’ as it is called, got her a place in the Rio Olympic final, giving hope to millions that nothing is impossible. Read about her journey to get inspired and follow your dream.

Deepa Malik on the other hand has broken many stereotypes by starting her Para-Olympic journey at 40. As a mother of two, she went on to be recognized world wide as an iron lady. One would wonder how can one person play so many varied roles of a mother, para Olympian, entrepreneur and a philanthropist without complaining about how hard it is and that’s what makes Deepa Malik a champion for women around the world – The never say die attitude is infectious and very inspiring.
