| Inspiring story of resilience | | | Inspiring story of resilience of an armless para-archer, Sheetal Devi from Kishtwar, who was presented Arjuna Award by President Droupadi Murmu recently, has once again proven that youngsters from J&K are out to scale new heights.
Although Sheetal was born without hands in a family that lacked access to basic amenities she never gave up and dreamt of big. She proved it by winning medals in different events at the international level. She won 2 Gold Medals and a Silver Medal in Asian Games.
The youth of Jammu and Kashmir are emerging as torchbearers of hope, not just for their region, but for the entire nation. Their triumphs resonate beyond borders, proving that the human spirit can soar, even in the face of adversity. Sheetal born with phocomelia, a congenital condition affecting limb development, her journey has been defined by an unwavering determination to rewrite her own destiny. Stepping onto the archery field at a young age, she defied limitations, mastering a unique technique that utilizes her feet and legs to draw and release the bowstring. The world watched in awe as she carved her path to victory.
Sheetal’s story is not a lone beacon in the firmament of J&K’s sporting landscape. Cricketers like Umran Malik and Abdul Samad are fast carving their niches in the Indian Premier League, captivating audiences with their raw talent and unwavering passion. In badminton, young guns like Riya Munshi and Maisha Farooq are leaving their mark on national and international tournaments. These sporting heroes are not merely achieving personal glory; they are inspiring a generation, proving that dreams can take flight regardless of background or circumstance.
The triumphs of J&K’s youth extend beyond the realm of physical prowess. In the domain of academics, students like Insha Malik, who cracked the prestigious IIT-JEE despite limited resources, and Muskan Nazir, who topped the J&K Board examinations amidst challenging personal circumstances, stand as testament to the intellectual potential that thrives in the region.
These young achievers are agents of change, rewriting the script with every victory, every academic laurel, every creative expression.
Their successes dismantle stereotypes, fostering understanding and bridging divides. They become ambassadors of hope, not just for J&K but for the entire nation, reminding us that the human spirit can soar irrespective of the ground realities.
As we celebrate the achievements of Sheetal Devi and countless others like her, let us remember that the youth of J&K are not just athletes, scholars, or artists. They are the beating heart of a resilient community, torchbearers of a brighter future. |
