In India, wrestling is generally a man's world. The practice dates back more than 1,000 years but, traditionally, girls were not allowed to even step onto a wrestling mat.
Girls have also been unwelcome in another combat sport - boxing.
Yet a few women have bravely defied convention and risen to the top of their sport, inspiring a new generation of girls.
And they are also taking the fight to the streets, sparking the country's first MeToo movement in Indian sport.
101 East meets India's women wrestlers and boxers who are battling for their rights in and out of the sporting arena.

This documentary film is absolutely outstanding. The film reveals the reality accurately nd addresses the current issue of status of Indian women participants in wrestling courageously.

Nothing succeeds like success so here's wishing all the girls featured and the ones who will follow in their footsteps the very best. Hats off and deepest respect to the parents of these girls for going against the grain and instead giving wings to the dreams of their daughters. Lastly, Sangya's grandma is one awesome and special lady. May all your dreams for your granddaughter come true. Jai Hind.

I know from experience working around them that Indian women are quite often much more aggressive than Indian men.

@kirakchicha3402

Al-Jazeera full on penetrating Indian Autocracy 😂😂😂

@teekamchand801

This is not known outside India as most of our history taught outside is written by The British, But it was quite normal for a girl to fight in India. You can check 1857 revolution and before that how women lived in India. It was Victorian era British who could not accept women outside home. So they destroyed that culture and killed anyone who resisted.

@kartikmalikify

I, natively from Haryana, can try to put some better perspective in. Sports (not just wrestling or boxing) are part of our culture, and atleast in urban part and much of the rural sphere. It is very agreeable that there has been deep rooted sexism in the state for a long time, but is the improvement not laudable? The people of my state adjusted with changing times, and the new generation is not as pathetic towards gender as percieved. We boast of more than half of India's women hockey team and a HUGE chunk of female (and overall ofc) medal telly from Olympics and Asian Games/Commonwealth Games considering the population of just 2% of India's population. How much have certain other (not to be named) communities changed in the last decades where women have traditionally been even more terribly sidelined? Did you hear him at

@n.oemrawsingh2157
