420+ Gold medals, 60+ Silver and 30+ bronze. YET Unknown, and Unsupported |

Bhavisha Singh, Sharmila Gharu and Divya Kathawate. Do these names ring a bell ? We guess not. 

What if we told you that these girls have won a combined total of 422 Gold medals, 61 Silver and 30 bronze in local, national and international tournaments. They have made India proud in Karate tournaments in China, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan, Chinese Taipei, Sri Lanka, Uzbekistan and Paris.

Friends, only in India would such teenage prodigies go without fame and support. The team is currently the Karate Champions at national level, and have qualified for the internationals at Germany. Unfortunately, not a single sports body has come forward to sponsor their trip. 

Can we as Logical Indians rally together and donate to make sure that India is represented at the 22nd World Senior Karate Championship tournament in Germany?

Here is the story of one of the Karate Girls: Bhavisha Singh’s family came to India from Hong Kong because of financial reasons. However hardship did not stop her. 

In september of 2002, she enrolled into local Karate coaching classes. The first time she took part at a competitive level, was at Vasai Taluka Kalakrida Mahotsav, Maharashtra. Winning nothing at the event, Bhavisha returned with the conviction that she had to practice hard. 

And she did, letting nothing stop her. Not even an injury that had the doctor declaring she wouldn’t be able to continue with karate.
