Haryanvi women shine bright in CWG

ROHTAK: Haryanvi CWG medal winners Geeta and her younger sister Babita, who won gold and silver in wrestling, have not only stormed the male bastion, but also sent a strong message to their state, which has a skewed sex ratio with a girl child being at the receiving end.

The duo's father Mahavir Singh, a former wrestler, had initiated them into wrestling when they were 13. Belonging to a farmer's family in Balali village of Bhiwani district, the girls used to fight with boys at dangals, where they were taken by their father.
