Ah, this matter of women in sport, bhaiti, I am thinking of my daughter. She is playing badminton with her friends in the school ground, and our village headman said, 'This is not for girls, they will get dark in the sun.' But I ask him, what is more fair—that she learns to jump and laugh in the sun, or that she sits inside and learns to be pale? I see her smash the shuttlecock, and I see no wrong in it. Her joy is a concrete thing, like the way my banjo strings vibrate against my palm in the evening; it does not need a theory to be real.
