Why Inspiring Stories of Para Athletes Matter

These wins are not just about medals. They are about people overcoming odds. India’s para sports heroes are mothers, fathers, young athletes, those who have had injuries, disabilities, or life challenges. Inclusive sports in India means giving a chance, respect, and support to all who wish to compete. These 22 ignited that spirit. When we say Inspiring stories of para athletes, we are talking about journeys of will, sweat, hope – often from places little known, with little support, yet rising to shine.
