New Delhi: Star tennis player Sania Mirza is proud that non-cricket sports stars of India include women, although she feels that it will take some more time to see sports as a real career for women in the country.
Sania said, “I take pride in the fact that the biggest sports stars in the country outside of cricket are women. If you look at magazines, billboards, you will see women players. This is a big step. I know that being a woman is difficult to get into sports. “
She said, “This is a sign that things have changed but we still have a long way to go to get into that position, while a girl wearing boxing globs or holding a badminton racket or saying,” I want to be a wrestler “I mean that progress must be natural.”
Many women players of India have made their special mark on the international level, including Olympic medalists PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal, six-time world champion boxer MC Marikom, Asian Games champion Vinesh Phogat, former world champion weightlifter Meerabai Chanu etc. are prominent.
Sania, however, spoke on the many challenges faced by women players. She said, “Some things are fixed for girls. Even when I have achieved everything, I was asked when I am thinking about the child and my life will not be complete until I become a mother. We have deep cultural issues with people and it will take a few generations to get rid of them. “
