India is full of talent and a girl from West Bengal proves
the fact. Anarkali Khatun, born without both her hands, did not let this
'inability' hold her back; rather she found a way to overcome it.
She will be taking the board exams this year as she learned to write with her feet. She took help of her mother. She said that she aspires to be a teacher and want people like her to get motivated by her. By becoming a teacher, she wants to further education.
She is a daughter of a poor farmer and is hard working as despite being disabled, she performs every task with her feet and a broad smile.
Her sister feels proud of her that she has managed to come this far. She has proved that nothing is impossible and disability is a state of mind. She has dreams of making her father debt free. Just like Anarkali. Some others who overcame their disability to become an inspiration for others are-
A 21 year old boy called, Tejasvi Sharma has been recognized as the most flexible handicapped yoga champion, after he flawlessly performed some of the hardest asanas, despite having 69 % disability. He has also been recognized by the 'Unique World Records', a global record book of India origin.
He was just nine years when he got afflicted with polio in both his legs. Right now, he is a final year student of German Studies at esteemed Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU).
Another inspiring person is Kartik Sawhney, who was born blind, became the first visually impaired Indian student to score 95 percent in CBSE boards, that too from the science stream. He was refused to sit in IIT entrance due to his disability but he managed to get a fully funded scholarship from Stanford University to pursue a 5 year engineering course.
Not only this, he will be presented an award in London by Her Majesty, the Queen in June 2016 as he has been selected as one of the 60 winners of the prestigious Queen's Young Leaders award from across 53 commonwealth countries.
