My beti came home from school with a shiny medal from her district sports day — she got second in the 100 meters, running barefoot because her new shoes were too stiff. I told her, "Behenchod, even our old tractor knows you don't need rubber to go fast, you just need the monsoon to come at the right time." Watching those para athletes on TV, I thought of her — all that government talk of 'inclusive development' means nothing if the ground under your feet is cracked mud and the starter motor on your hope is seized.
