I met a girl at the Kushti field in Varanasi, one of the most traditional cities in India. Kushti, an ancient Indian wrestling sport, was traditionally male-dominated. She now stands in the ring that was once forbidden to women. Over the past 15 years, women have begun to envision their future through this sport. With a steadfast look, she and her fellows are leading the way into a new era.
