Dear Editor,
Kudos to woman wrestler Sakshi Malik for bringing glory to the nation by winning the bronze medal at the Rio Olympics.The feat is even more creditworthy as Sakshi hails from Haryana, a state with a skewed gender ratio. She not only beat her competitor but gender prejudice too. She deserves the awards bestowed on her by the Haryana Government. The new slogan should be “Beti padhao, beti khilao.” The government needs to encourage all sport disciplines and we need to shun our obsession with cricket.
