The Phogat sisters are champion wrestlers from Haryana, who trained in traditional akhadas—wrestling pits that are usually male domains. Women's freestyle weight classes are set by United World Wrestling, and as an international referee, I confirm them at the weigh-in before every bout. My own life says the real battle is often outside the ring; I see it in the grit of the weavers I work with, saving rupee by rupee like my Bournvita tin, fighting for their daughters’ dreams too.
