#India Da

Some victories do not remain inside dressing rooms. India’s World Cup win spilled into streets, fan groups and hometown parades, pulling everyone into a celebration that felt bigger than the sport itself. Read the full cover story at the link in bio.

Humare ladke ladkiyon se kam hain kya?” For years, that sentence meant one thing. Now it means something else. There was a time when women’s sport was the side story. The “good effort.” The “inspirational.” Men’s cricket was the standard. And then our women won the World Cup at home. Suddenly, the conversation flipped. Now it’s not “even the girls did it.” It’s “the boys better match that.” That shift? That’s cultural progress. Because when the bar is set by women and men are challenged to rise to it you know something fundamental has changed.

@imharmanpreet_kaur sits down for one of the most unforgettable conversations on the We The Women stage. From playing cricket like “one of the boys,” as the gali-mohalla aunties loved to say, to becoming the face of Indian women’s cricket — her journey wasn’t simple. But her parents stood by her when many questioned her dreams. Honest, bold and deeply inspiring — this is Harmanpreet like you’ve never seen her before.

🇮🇳🏃‍♂️ India’s Running Secret — jo koi nahi batata Kya aapko lagta hai India mein marathons sirf celebrities ki wajah se popular hue? Sach isse kaafi bada hai. 2004 ke baad se running sirf ek race nahi rahi — yeh ek movement ban gayi. ✨ Iske peeche 5 strong pillars hain: • Athletics ko boost • International pride • ₹400+ crore charity impact • Fitness revolution • Aur sabse badi baat — unity Race day par na caste dikhti hai, na status. Ek side elite runners, doosri side seniors, beginners aur specially-abled champions — sab ek hi road par, ek hi goal ke saath. Celebrities crowd laate hain… par culture un logon se banta hai jo roz shoes pehente hain, roz mehnat karte hain, aur running ko lifestyle bana chuke hain. Running koi trend nahi. Running discipline hai. Running democracy hai. 👟 Aap kab pehen rahe ho apne shoes? 💬 Comment mein apni favourite race batao 📤 Aur is post ko apne running buddy ke saath share karo Let’s keep India running. 🇮🇳💪

Took to the crowded Mumbai streets today, clearly intrigued fans and why?! Well, stating it LOUD & CLEAR “India🇮🇳 Hi Jeetega”❗️ All set for today’s most controversial (than me too) Cricket Match!!! Are you?!
