Standing on top of the podium in Glasgow on a chilly Monday evening, Sharmila Dhankar must have been reminded of the long struggle that brought her there. The 40-year-old created history by becoming India’s first-ever Commonwealth Games gold medallist in para athletics. She won the women’s F57 shot put final with a best throw of 9.81m. But some fourteen years ago, representing the country or standing on top of the podium, was not even in her dreams. Born in a small village in Haryana, Sharmila contracted polio at the age of two, leaving one of her legs permanently affected. Despite doing well in school and dreaming of becoming a police officer, she was married off at the age of 18. Her marriage soon turned into a nightmare. She faced years of domestic abuse before being thrown out of her home along with her two daughters. She lost hope and felt life was no longer worth living, but chose to fight on. The first Indian to win a para-athletics gold at Commonwealth Games escaped domestic violence, …
