Show some muscle for Phogat

Um, are we timid again? There was a time, back in the day, when Indians were timid.

- ANUJA CHAUHAN

You know, intimidated by white people, their accents, expensive clothes and shoes. But, then, slowly, we got over that colonial mindset. The non-aligned movement helped us carve out a space for ourselves on the world stage. We won the cricket World Cup. We hosted the Asian Games, we liberalised, we became Miss Worlds and Miss Universes, our artistes won Oscar nominations, our doctors, engineers, MBAs and economists took over the world-from Indra Nooyi to Priyanka Chopra to Kamala Harris. We strode with assurance across the world stage.
