I am most articulate in the boxing ring, with my fists.’

In a culture that does not encourage young girls to be sporty, Mary Kom has broken the rule twice—by becoming a sporting icon, that too in a sport traditionally considered hyper-masculine: boxing.

The daughter of a landless labourer from Manipur, Mary Kom was a mother of twins when she won her medal at the 2012 Olympics. While she knocked down five world champions to dominate the boxing arena, she also punched the living daylights out of every preconception under the sun about class, sports, India’s northeast and womanhood.

In this uplifting profile, Gunjan Jain offers a rare glimpse into the often misunderstood and misinterpreted world of sport personalities.
