Remember the time our local school team reached the district finals, and the municipality gave them new jerseys—but the girls had to stitch their own because the “free” ones were all boys’ sizes? That’s the story that never makes the news. I saw their captain, a quiet girl called Meena, cycling to practice at 5 AM on a borrowed cycle, her mother’s old sari pallu tucked into her waist. We talk about empowerment, paavam, but who checks if the bus that takes them to the match actually runs on Sunday?
