The Literature of Grit: Reading the Rise of the Paralympics

The world of the Paralympics offers such stories in abundance. If sport is the purest distillation of the human spirit, then para-sport is its most poetic expression - often painful, often invisible, but always unforgettable.

We live in a country that has long overlooked the stories of people with disabilities. But that tide is turning, slowly yet powerfully. Today, India is not only witnessing the rise of para-athletes but is also learning to celebrate their journeys. Not as side notes to the 'mainstream' but as epic narratives that deserve centrestage.
