“She will never walk again. But each time she has won a medal for India, 130 million have stood up to celebrate the tricolour with her” Deepa Malik

Let me start with something Deepa Malik said at the Trailblazers conclave. She said she will never again get up from her wheelchair. She will never walk again. But each time she has won a medal for India, 130 million have stood up to celebrate the tricolour with her and for her and sing the national anthem. That’s her biggest satisfaction as an athlete.

As a woman para athlete she made us proud. 130 million Indians celebrated with her. And it’s our turn to celebrate her and many like her today.

We at RevSportz will celebrate International Womens Day with a packed all day coverage of the Trailblazers Conclave.

Issues of women’s empowerment, inclusivity and overcoming the gender divide was at the heart of the conclave. And yet again I reiterate our belief that women’s day cannot and should not be celebrated by women only. For far too long this has been done. Time to redeem. And we had some of our best ever at the conclave to help with this process.
