Girls are taught to be gentle and demure from very childhood. Some of the common remarks are:
“Girls do not jump around.”
“Dolls and Utensils are a girl’s best toys.”
“Punching and bouncing do not belong to girls.”.
“Wrestling/Cricket/Weight Lifting/Body Building is not a girl’s game.”
There are some women who choose to break all rules and make new standards. They have conquered and made a mark for themselves in the world dominated and most sought by men. It's a bit ironical that most of their followers are men themselves. Name a sport and there is a world champion for that from India. These super-women are making us proud without any doubt.
Here are some of the most famous ones, without which the Indian sports authority cannot move ahead with pride.Sania MirzaSania NehwalJwala guttaMary comPt UshaAshwani ponnappa Anju Bobby GeorgeDeepika PillaiSanthi SoundararajanKrishna poonia
