Payal Nag.
Daughter of a daily-wage mason from Odisha.
Electrocuted at the age of eight. Lost all four limbs.
And then, found a bow.
Spotted through her paintings by coach Kuldeep Vedwan, the same man who shaped world champion Sheetal Devi.
Defeated her idol Sheetal Devi at the World Para Archery Series Final in Bangkok, April, 2026
Whenever I am feeling low or sorry for myself I will look at these images of Payal & Sheetal again & remind myself what the words: Courage, Resilience & Positive thinking, really mean.
These champions are not just my #MondayMotivation.
They will be a source of motivation Every. Single. Day
Tamil is older than Sanskrit is a lie propagated by politicians including the PM for political appeasement.
Nowadays, it is being done by outside influence forces too to prop up Tamil chauvinism fuelled seperatism against India. When you talk of languages, there is only one way to look at true antiquity - to find when was it fist in use.
Sanskrit's use by scientific evidence predates Tamil by at least 1000 years. Now, in terms of written evidence, Tamil is older than Sanskrit by around 500 years.
But using that sort of evidence to claim antiquity is as silly as claiming C is older than Assembly programming because we can only find a computer file written in C but cannot find anything written in Assembly as all of it was keyed in directly, or written in paper that's lost.
Also if you claim Tamil is older than Sanskrit using written evidence (not a scientific way to claim), then those who claim have to simply accept Chinese, Egyptian, Babylonian are much older than Tamil :)
And let's also be clear. Sanskrit is NOT the oldest language in the world. Humans had languages much before Sanskrit and there are good scientific evidences for that as well.
Both Sanskrit and Tamil are some of the oldest languages in the World. They were highly structured andwell developed with a good corpus of literature by 500 BCE. And still in use (Please don't be that ignorant chauvinist claiming Sanskrit is not in use. It is in every Hindu ritual and by some people as well. Taught in schools and being learned by at least a million right now).
Indians need to be proud of both Sanskrit and Tamil. In fact, it is said both were created at the same time by Shiva as he started beating his Damaru.
