  • Meet the captain of Bihar’s women cricket team

    Meet the captain of Bihar’s women cricket team

    Yes. You heard it right. There is a Bihar’s women cricket team. Nishat Fatima is the T20 side captain, whereas Rachana kumari is the skipper of the First-class side.

    Syed Nishat Fatima is the captain of T20 side of Bihar’s women cricket team.

    Back in 2000, when Bihar and Jharkhand were fighting for their existence, a girl was falling in the love of Cricket in Jamshedpur.  Nishat’s decision to play cricket has a tremendous impact on the upcoming generations of young women cricketers. Nishat decided to play cricket when no one had even thought about ladies’ cricket. Nishat is not only a stereotype breaker but, besides, an inspiration for thousands of girls to play cricket.

    Nishat’s rise from a small town in Bihar to be an icon has also concurred with the rise of new India. We don’t need to look too far ahead from Bihar and Jharkhand to understand the impact of Nishat Fatima. After Nishat, Many young girls have chosen cricket now; some have made their place on the Indian side as well.

    But remember, all of this was from the most ominous of beginnings. By the time Nishat emerged, Jharkhand was not even the second-best team from a permanent underperformer zone. Delhi and Maharashtra triumphed over them many times, but now the story has taken a turn.

    Jharkhand is not just one of the best teams in the country; they can lay claim to have been the best on more than one occasion. So, it is a matter of pride for Bihar that Syed Nishat Fatima is leading the newly made-team from the front. 

    Initial life – Nishat was born in Jamshedpur, Bihar,(now in Jharkhand) in 1989. From her childhood itself, Nishat was very keen on playing cricket. With an absence of quantities of the girls playing cricket in her city and school, she started playing cricket with the boys of her school and society. She was utterly a flamboyant and naughtiest kid in her school.

    The kid was more into cricket rather than studies during her school days. Taking a gander at her splendid performances and Junoon for the game during her school days, Nishat was called for playing district-level cricket. The young girl was so connected with the cricket that, even after not many girls playing cricket at that time, she continued playing cricket.

    Nishat used to enjoy the sports without even thinking about the fate of it in her school days. She had no clue that women cricket also exists in the world. She just continued to play under her coach K.V.P. Rao.

    Asking about her love for the game, Nishat told, “I had no idea that the girls also play cricket professionally in my childhood until my school coach asked me to play district-level matches. I just used to play and enjoy the intensity of the game.”

    Her Struggle – The struggle of Bihar’s captain to play the game has been like every other girl in this country. Nishat dreamt of playing cricket when the state struggled, and wrongdoing was at its pinnacle. At the time, when Nishat started playing cricket, No one had even idea about women’s cricket throughout the country.

    Along these lines, it was tough for Nishat to convince her parents for the game. Although, Nishat’s relatives and natives questioned her for playing this game. But, Nishat Fatima’s father supported her little girl’s fun to the moon and back and enjoyed every bit of her daughter’s happiness.

    Initial career –

     The explosive opening batsman performed exceptionally well for Jharkhand in each competition, with her bat, yet additionally with her sharp wicket-keeping skills. In her 16th year only, She was very fast behind the wickets. Once the Railway’s team coach looked her wicket-keeping skills during a tournament in Chennai, and he was intrigued to such an extent that he legitimately offered her a job and to play for Railway when She would turn 18.

    Since that day, the Railway’s coach had remained in touch with her. At last, She turned 18, and the Southern Railway called her and offered an employment opportunity; however, Nishat left the work of Railway because of her reasons and returned home. Nishat began concentrating on her cricket as it were.

    Nishat kept on playing for her state and was scoring huge amounts of Runs for Jharkhand, and in the outcome, she was chosen in the team of the east zone in Zonal competition (2009) close by a player like incredible Jhulan Goswami. Apart from this, She was also the best batsman for Jharkhand in U-19 cricket in 2008-09 season. 

    Highlight – 

    Although, the keeper-batsman has played many blistering knocks and won numerous matches for Jharkhand on his own. But, Zonal tournament, 2009 has been one of the most memorable games of her career. In a match of the competition, Nishat, alongside her accomplice Jhulan Goswami won a challenging game against South Zone.

    In that competition in 2009, Nishat was again the highest Run-scorer in the contest and grabbed everybody’s eye, including Mithali Raj.  Remembring that match, She explained,

    ” That win was extraordinary for me as the partnership between I and Jhulan Di won the match for east-zone.”

    After her incredible performance throughout the tournament, with advice from Mithali Raj, the South Central Railway reached Nishat. It offered her to play for the South CentralRailways with a Railway job in Secundrabad. This time, Nishat acknowledged the bid for employment and began her new innings in Secundrabad. Explaining about her job in Railway, she said,

    “I feel extremely blessed to carry out the responsibility for Railways. My insertion into Railways wouldn’t have been possible without my seniors Nitu David and Nooshin-Al-Khadeer. I can’t express gratitude toward them enough for their extensive support.”

    In 2013, Nishat left her long-excursion of 12 years with Jharkhand and joined the Hyderabad cricket association in 2014 as a guest player.

    Bihar’s story  – 

    In 2018, when Nishat heard about BCA’s formation, She floated on air with the delight of serving her state again. Rapidly, Nishat wished her desire to BCA for playing for Bihar. The administration not only permitted her to play but also couldn’t resist itself from making him the captain of the team as She was carrying a milestone of 17 years of experience, and that’s simply phenomenal. In the group, Nishat keeps up numerous number of works like the opening batsman, the wicket-keeper, the captain, and, most importantly, a guide for all inexperienced players.

    Nishat feels very proud that she can train the new generation and share her invaluable experiences with them. Nishat imagines this Bihar women team to do consistently well in the upcoming years. 

    Vision –

    Nishat Fatima imagines Bihar women’s cricket to be one of the best teams in the nation. The captain wishes to win more matches against the bigger teams. Nishat can see an enormous amount of potential in the girls. She is exceptionally hopeful about the fact that the young girls would go on to win many matches for Bihar once they gain a bit more experience.  Explaining about the future of Bihar’s women cricket team, she replied,

    ” Unquestionably, the future of the team is bright. The girls play boldly without any dread and hesitancy. Indeed, I get to learn a lot from their Junoon and love for the game. What the girls need is slightly more facilities. The girls perform so well without any pre-camp before the tournament. In the event that, these girls started getting facilities like a coach and camp before the season; the players have the potential to perform on the higher levels and win matches for Bihar.”

    The explosive batsman has already scored more than 700 runs with a magnificent century in List-A career and counting. 

    Replying about Bihar’s cricket association, she explained, ” The BCA is very visionary and trying it’s best to promote cricket in Bihar. The secretary of the BCA is very thoughtful and support us all the time.”

    I feel, if We Bihari didn’t begin supporting our players, then we have no right to complain about Bihar sports. We need to know them, follow them, and, most importantly, represent them.

    It’s time for us Bihari to support the players like Syed Nishat Fatima and, ofcourse, Bihar’s women cricket team.

  • Sweta Shahi- An Indian Rugby Queen from Nalanda

    Sweta Shahi- An Indian Rugby Queen from Nalanda

    The Star Indian Rugby sensation from Nalanda hopes to play Olympics soon

    Would you imagine a 22-year young girl from a small Bihar village named Bhadari, Nalanda is ruling on World Rugby with her glorious performances for India? Without a doubt, it is true. Sweta Shahi, a young girl from a small village of Bihar, is ruling Worldwide on a foreign game. Not just, this small village young lady administering on World Rugby yet, in addition, won five titles for India at such an early age.

    Sweta Shahi started playing Rugby just at the age of 15, and she was so incensed and quick that she played Nationals exactly when she was just 15. From that point forward, this irate player has been Unstoppable. This star Rugby player from Nalanda not only won merely international medals for India in her 22-long years of life but also she has produced very nearly 22 National-level medallists for India under her coaching.

    Sweta got to know about Rugby for the first time, when the rugby secretary of Bihar, Pankaj Kumar Jyoti, saw the furious Sweta Shahi competing in an athletics championship in Patna, Bihar. This brisk player (who had played 6 Nationals of athletics just in her 15) was quick to such an extent that the Rugby secretary of Bihar impressed broadly at that minute and offered her to play Rugby.

    Furthermore, Rest is the historical backdrop of her glorious performances in Rugby.  Her story is closely related to MS Dhoni’s, when his coach offered him to keep the wickets, and the Rest is the story. Directly after the following day of his offer, she participated in a Rugby camp in Patna, and she was so incensed in the camp that she got chose to play Nationals the next moment in Odisha.

    Sweta has played 17 National tournaments and has won numerous numbers of awards. Sweta Shahi has been awarded thrice with Bihar State Sports Awards for glorifying Bihar’s name with her unstoppable performances throughout the World.

    The real struggle of Sweta began after her first National games in Odisha. At the point when she got back after her first National game, she had no ground neither coach for the training in her hometown. No one, even the secretary of Rugby of Bihar, had any idea about this foreign game in Bihar. Furthermore, the family of Sweta is poor. So, she couldn’t even afford to migrate to a better facility place.

    Sweta shahi rugby

    Along these lines, this champion player got herself a brilliant idea for her training by watching youtube videos of Rugby training and matches. One can think about how passionate she was for her game and how inadequate was the infrastructure of Rugby in Bihar.  She faced unfortunate financial and support problems.

    However, the main issue was sitting tight for its turn – The Society’s perspective as she comes from a village in Bihar, its sin to wear small clothes. Sweta started training in her village only with the help of youtube videos having worn small clothes. Her villagers started insulting her for her short clothes.

    The villagers were saying; she is not only deteriorating our culture but also inciting other girls to choose the wrong way of wearing clothes. Lakhs of this type of taunts were thrown at a 15 years old girl by her villagers. Be that as it may, she faced all those deadly societal bouncers fearlessly. She was determined to her game, and she had great support from her lovely grandfather. Her maternal uncle tried hard to abstain her from playing Rugby.

     “My grandfather has always supported me. He told me not to worry about society and focus on the game. He even convinced my father. Back in 2015, Noone knew about Rugby in my village. So, I started training watching youtube videos of Rugby training on my father’s phone,”

    Sweta says

    The struggle of Sweta happened most exceedingly awful when she got injured after her first National tournament. After that injury, she had to sit back at her home for almost a year as her family was not so financially strong that they could afford her surgery at that time.

    But, after some time, Somehow, She went for a surgery and again started her magnificence in the field. Tragically, she got injured again, and this time her father has to mortgage her field for the loan. This bad is the financial condition of her family.

    Finally, the champ rose again and proceeded with her magnificence in the field and got the opportunity to play her first international match in Asian’s women Rugby championship in 2015 in Chennai.  From that point forward, this spirited fighter player has been continuing to glorify the name of India. 

    She has played 5 International tournaments for India, including the Asian Women’s Rugby XV’s Championship, where Indian women’s Rugby team created history by winning its first international win against Singapore in the Philippines.

    “We were thrilled after our first international win over Singapore. We, as a team, played brilliantly in the Philippines,”

    Sweta Shahi expresses

    Recently, Sweta Shahi had featured in the unstoppable global campaign “Try and stop us” launched by World Rugby to revolutionize women’s Rugby. The ‘Try and Stop Us’ campaign aims to drive increased participation and engagement among fans, audiences, players, and investors in the women’s game.

    Developed with the support of national unions and regions, it uses striking imagery and the inspiring stories of 15 women and girls involved in Rugby at all levels of the game from around the world, who are ‘unstoppable.’ They have challenged barriers to participation and demonstrated how Rugby has empowered them to get where they are today, both on and off the pitch. 

    From listening to taunts and abuses by her villagers to have set an example of herself, Sweta Shahi is truly a representation of World Rugby. Today, Not only in her village yet in addition to the world, every parent gives an example of her to their children.

    This significant impact, Sweta Shahi, has left on this World while breaking barriers and stereotypes. Today, her villagers give an example to their children of her who were taunting her for wearing small clothes.

    Sweta has been performing amazingly for India; however, she additionally began training the boys and girls for the good of Rugby back in 2017 in the field of Ras Vihari High school, Nalanda. She coaches nearly 100-150 boys and girls of Nalanda. The coaching story, as well, was a Himalaya battle for her, as none of the family wanted their girls to play Rugby due to fear of injury, which could harm their marriage.

    However, the champ didn’t lose the expectations and convinced their parents to play Rugby on her risk. She additionally provided Rugby shoes and dresses to the kids with the help of his father as they were not so financially strong to afford the Rugby Pack. Gradually, she created a change in society’s mindset, and her success on the International level motivated lakhs of children to play Rugby.

    Today, her 20-30 trained kids have played National and won awards. Isn’t it an extraordinary achievement to represent India, won awards for the country, and make 22+ children play Nationals in just 22-year of age?

                        “I had struggled hard for the training of Rugby in my initial days. So, I don’t want these kids to struggle as I did. I love training with them, and it feels great when they perform well,” Sweta explains.

    In any case, significantly in the wake of playing for India and won such a significant number of matches for the Nation. However, there is an infinite number of issues this champion is facing as of now.

    She comes from a poor-background family; she is much tensed about her future from the perspective of her financial condition as she doesn’t even get a penny for playing Rugby for India. She says, “the government ought to support the players through grants and employments. If they don’t, we are forced to leave the sports and prepare to find a job for our livings.” Sweta explains She has won five medals this year only, But she didn’t get any encouragement from anybody, regardless of whether from the Central Government or State legislature.

    She is truly an inspiration for every player out there in the World. She is only 22, and much game is left in her. It’s not too far that She will lead the team to win an Olympic medal for India. Sweta Shahi has genuinely been a stereotype breaker who has broken the barrier of the perspective on Girl’s participation in the games.

    She is genuinely an ambassador of the young girls’ involvement in sports and motivation for each young lady on the planet, who wishes to play. More than that, she is the proudest Bihari to do as such. Along these lines, how about we fully support this Bihari sensation from Nalanda.

    The Bihari Rugby sensation is eyeing on the Indian Women’s Rugby team being selected for the Olympics 

  • Shivnath Singh from BIHAR who still holds India’s national record for the Marathon which he set in 1978.

    Shivnath Singh from BIHAR who still holds India’s national record for the Marathon which he set in 1978.

    This story is about Shivnath Singh, whose Marathon National Record still stands after 40 years. Shivnath, hailing from Majhria, Buxar, Bihar was one of the best long distance runners India has produced. Eariler, Shivnath used to compete in 5,000 m and 10,000 m but he shifted to marathon in mid 1970s. This turned out to be the game changer decision for him and country.

    In a country where athletics garners a subliminal level of limelight, it can be rightfully stated that the hype which surrounds various other sports obscures the great achievements by athletes who toil to reach exemplary levels of excellence and bring glory to India.

    Shivnath Singh from BIHAR

    One such brave-heart was Shivnath Singh, India’s greatest long distance runner, whose national record in the marathon of 2:12:00 hrs set in 1976 persists to this day, serving as an intimidating mark to overcome.

    Equipped with the grit and determination to overcome all obstacles, and to train like to a workhorse, Shivnath Singh was the very personification of endurance. He would run bare-footed with great resolve, never to be seen wilting.

    He was born on July 11, 1946, in the village of Manjeria, Buxur (Bihar). Though his family was not financially sound, Shivnath took to running at an early age, which proved to be a boon not just for himself, but also for the country.

    Shivnath’s breakthrough performance was at the 1973 Asian Championships in Manila, when he secured the silver medal in both the 5000m and the 10,000m. He finished second to Ichio Sato of Japan in the 5,000, and lost out to teammate Hari Chand in the 10,000m. But in the 1974 Asian Games in Tehran he went one step further, winning his first and only major gold medal in the 5000m. That year, he was also adjudged as the best sportsman in the country, and was awarded the Arjuna award.

    Feat acheived by the legend SHIVNATH SINGH

    • Unbroken National Record in Marathon with timing of 2:12:00 hours created in 1978
    • Finished 11th in 1976 Montreal Olympics with the timing of 2:16:22 hours
    • Awarded with ‘Sportsman of the Year’ in 1974 along with Arjuna Award.

    In the 1975 Asian Championships, in Seoul, his 1973 fate was replicated, as he secured the silver medal in both the 5000m and the 10,000m, losing out to the same competitors.

    The rivalry between Hari Chand and Shivnath Sigh was somewhat similar to that of Steve Ovett and Sebastian Coe. They fought tooth and nail for the gold on every occasion, be it the National Championships, cross-county races, or other road races in North India. Eventually, Shivnath decided to switch to marathon, and it is in that event that he baffled everyone at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, with a time of 2:15:58.

    Although Shivnath lead the competition for 32 kilometres – almost three fourths of the race – alongside American Bill Rodgers (a Boston marathon winner) and Finn Lasse Viren (winner of four Olympic gold medals in the 5000m and 10,000m), he gradually drifted behind, and managed to finish 11th in the marathon which comprised of 72 competitors.

    In 1978, at Jalandhar, Shivnath’s legendary run of 2:12:00 found its way into the record books, and still stands as the Indian high mark. The Edmonton Commonwealth Games in 1978, the Bangkok Asian Games in 1978, the Moscow Olympics in 1980, and the Delhi Asian Games in 1982 were some of the other major international competitions he took part in.

    His retirement was a silent affair, and he joined Tata Steel after resigning from the Army. On June 6, 2003, he passed away due to a suspected hepatitis-B infection, which had been the cause of his persistent illness.

  • Meet Laungi Bhuiyan, Gaya’s new Dashrath Manjhi, who carved out 3-km-long canal

    Meet Laungi Bhuiyan, Gaya’s new Dashrath Manjhi, who carved out 3-km-long canal

    A man has carved out a three-kilometre-long canal to take rainwater coming down from nearby hills to fields of his village, Kothilawa in Lahthua area of Gaya.

    We all are aware how Dasrath Manjhi alone cut through the mountains to make a road , with his grit and determination , another man from Gaya has done something worth featuring and hogging the limelight.

    Meet Laungi Bhuiyan

    A man has carved out a three-kilometre-long canal to take rainwater coming down from nearby hills to fields of his village, Kothilawa in Lahthua area of Gaya. “It took me 30 years to dig this canal which takes the water to a pond in the village,” said Laungi Bhuiyan who has dug out the canal single-handedly in Gaya.

    Who carved out 3-km-long canal

    “For the last 30 years, I would go to the nearby jungle to tend my cattle and dig out the canal. No one joined me in this endeavour… Villagers are going to cities to earn a livelihood but I decided to stay back,” he added. Kothilwa village is surrounded by dense forest and mountains, about 80 km away from Gaya headquarters. This village is marked as a refuge for Maoists.

    The main means of livelihood for the people here are farming and animal husbandry. During the rainy season, the water falling from the mountains used to flow into the river which used to bother Bhuiyan following which he thought of carving out a canal.

    He worked hard in order to save water coming from the mountains and utilise it. “He has been carving out the canal for the last 30 years that too single-handedly. This will benefit a large number of animals and to irrigate the fields as well. He is not doing it for his own benefit but for the entire area,” said Patti Manjhi, a local.

    Ram Vilas Singh, a teacher who resides here praised Bhuiyan for benefiting the villagers and their fields. “A lot of people will benefit here. People are now getting to know him because of his work,” he added. (ANI)
