"Hockey player Vandana Katariya's family attacked for caste identity after India lost to Argentina in Olympic women semi-final"
This news breaks my heart more than what the defeat does. I feel like shouting "it cannot be true", but it's the dark fact of the Indian caste system.
Irony of the games that people play - some on international stages and some in the middle of streets, some with unbeatable determination and some with unignorable egoism.
Amidst all such unfairness and discriminatory gestures, there have been players who have proved their mental toughness and competence. Hats off to them and their parents/coaches. Determination is going to prevail over every social barrier, sooner or later.
