Fantastic to see Indian women leading the charge with 7 gold medals! This sends a powerful message about gender equality in sports. These athletes are breaking stereotypes and inspiring millions of young girls across the country.

While I appreciate PM's recognition, I hope this translates into better grassroots development. Many talented boxers from smaller towns still struggle for basic facilities. The government should focus on building boxing academies in tier 2 and 3 cities too.
