"Be the girl who turned her cant's into cans and her dreams into plans". This entire post is dedicated to Girls. We are living in the society which has a different perspective towards Girl, we think girls must be domestic, traditional and docile and to be anything else is immoral and not acceptable in the society.
Despite such deep-rooted stereotype against Girls. They always stand and proved themselves again and again. This story is also about the girl who proved or demonstrate her talent and today we feel proud of her. Introducing to you Kavitha Thakur, her story is not less than any Bollywood film story.
Kavitha a girl from Jagatshukh village 6 km away from Manali, Himachal Pradesh. Born in an extremely poor family, who can't afford proper clothes during a Freezing cold. Her father and mother sell snacks and run Dhaba. Her elder sister also helps their parents in their work. Kavitha life also started the same way the condition of the family was soo bad, that at the age when children use to play and study, She used to work in Dhaba and clean utensils and sweeps floor In Dhaba. During the extreme cold, their Dhaba had no customer so sometimes they sleep empty stomach. In general, the kids or children of this kind of family usually give up their dreams and spent their entire life in managing for food and shelter.
But, Kavitha is not among them she dreamt to become a sportsperson in her class Eight. She chooses kabaddi because it is the most inexpensive game in our country. She started playing the game from 2007. She was so good in kabaddi that with the help of local people and her school she got the opportunity to play at the National level. She consistently performed well at the National level that makes her play for Sports Authority Of India, Dharamshala in the year 2009. After that she never stopped in her life, soon she becomes the part of Indian Women kabaddi team at International level.
The Year 2011, was a very difficult year for Kavitha when she got ill, she had digestive system ailment and according to the doctor, She had to take 6 months of bed rest. At that time Kavitha got completely broken and she thought she hardly comeback in Kabaddi again. But, she is a fighter she gets recovered soon and did a comeback with a bang and help India win Gold in 2012 in Asian Kabaddi championship.
Kavitha life changes completely in the year 2014, when India got the gold medal in Kabaddi in Asiad. Kavitha is a part of that team, she came into limelight due to this and able to draw the attention of state government and after that many government officials came forward and provided financial support to her. She now able to get rented accommodation for her and her family in Manali. Her mother gets emotional and in her interview with a local tv channel she said: " I never thought that we ever able to live in the room with a cemented roof". Her sister was also a good kabaddi player but she left her dream and started to work with her family.
Once again, this year Kavitha in her nine-member women's kabaddi team going to play in Asian Game in Indonesia, Jakarta for India. This year Kavitha is playing as a full-time defender, previously she was an all-rounder. We as an Indian have so much hope and believe that they will bring Gold for us once again and make us pride.
A great salute to this Brave Girl she is not just a world-class Kabaddi player but she is a source of inspiration for millions of girls like her. And all the best wishes to her for the upcoming games, we hope her performance will remain like this and will bring much more laurel for us.
