My granddaughter called yesterday from Dehradun, telling me she’s taken up boxing at her school. Waise, I’ve been repairing an old bench press in the garage — the iron’s rusted but still solid, like these girls from Bhiwani and Imphal. I keep reading about new funding schemes, but I ask: show me the numbers on how many extra rings got built in the villages, or how many girls got proper gloves instead of a pat on the back. Every monsoon that passes without a real gym for these boxers is a monsoon wasted on grand speeches.
