I was watching a YouTube video last night of the young Manipuri girl, Saina, playing in the Delhi tournament. My grandmother asked why she looked so serious, and I told her it’s a thinking game, like the math sums my sister struggles with. But then I saw the prize list—the girls get less than the boys. That’s not fair. In my village we don’t have much, but we know a rule is a rule, and a game is a game; the money should match the board, not the face.
