Sakshi Malik: “I won my Olympic medal with long hair and nail polish”

There are many accounts of women who defy all odds, breaking free from societal constraints to pursue their destiny.

As I watch her smiling, radiant face through the small Zoom window, she seems young and unassuming—cheeks flushed, eyes bright with warmth. If you haven’t seen the images of her, triumphantly holding up the Indian flag on the global stage, it might be hard to imagine the strength and grit behind the beaming exterior.
