Jharkhand

Then how come India is so back? And that was something which as a student, I felt that can I do something for this? If I could not win a medal, can I do something to give back to the country? So then I wrote to my MD, Tata Steel, Dr.

Jabche Jirani, that we are in a belt, tribal belt of Jharkhand.

This is a game of Jharkhand.

Can I do, can I open an academy? Can Tata help? And they said, yes, why not? Because this was a game of Jharkhand.

And then 1996, 4th October 1996, the Tata Archery Academy finally came into existence.

That is my message to anybody who's listening and to all my, when I'm training people, I say, the first thing you want to become good or you need to be, if you have passion, the thing which makes you into what you want to achieve, your dreams, is your positivity.

Then 96 Olympics, I felt I could not win the medal for the country.

And that was the time I said, if I could not win a medal, can I do something to give back to the country? So then I wrote to my MD, Tata Steel, Dr.

I also noticed the amount of xenophobia.

So for example, these are a bunch of Bengalis who are from Calcutta who are going to It's depicted as Bihar in the movie, but I think once the maps in India were changed, I think it became like it's now modern day Jharkhand, which when I was in school, it was still Bihar.

But it starts off with like, you left the car unlocked.

This is Bihar.

The forest does not need a name.

It was here before names, before Jharkhand was Jharkhand, before Chhattisgarh was carved from rock, before borders and deeds and maps, the gauns, the sandhills, the bales, walked paths, of mahua and sal these are trees and flowers their feet writing histories into the soil they move like wind threading bamboo grooves their language unbound by weight of scripts each syllable a river bending through time unwritten carved into Earth's remembering.

The nagas, mesos, cassis, mountain echoes feed steady on shifting clouds, drums beating beneath the skin of the night, history not archived, not sung but danced.

The trees remember, the rivers hold the songs Of hands grinding millet on stone Of women weaving bamboo into shelter Of gods who do not sit in temples But live in the fire and the hunt in the whisper of leaves before the monsoon they say land belongs to the one who fences it to the ones who write its worth in numbers but whose hands lifted the first grain from the earth whose children knew the taste of fruit before orchards were walled and sold who spoke to the hills before machines drilled their silence away In Niamgiri, they stood before the bulldozers, said no to the men in suits, no to the holes blasted into sacred mountains, no to the factories that feed on the bones of the land.

why like i went for trials when i was a kid okay my dad would be kind enough to drive me down to the trial i got in i think pfc under 15. i training was twice a week over the weekend two hours of training so total four hours you go that's a hobby that's a hobby and it's like it's the weekend like my dad

yeah so when you get time and you do something that's all yes and your profession is when you do it morning night morning night morning night yeah so that means they handicapped you suppose if you had a place to play every single day morning evening would you do it of course yeah then you and you're playing in the street anyway every kid would do it so when you don't have a place so for example the hockey team which won the bronze in the olympics this time the women's hockey team 50 percent of the team comes from odisha and jharkhand and they're all tribal girls Tribals will go and kick ass if you make them turfs, man.

They've got 400 turfs now in Yodista and Jharkhand.

That's why the girls are all, and even now the boys who are coming from tribal areas, because they go out and there's a
