While researching about male dominated sports in India, I came across Hetal Dave and how she made a mark in a field mostly run by men. India’s first and only female sumo wrestler spoke to me about breaking stereotypes and putting India on the global map.<br /><br />Hetal talks about her journey, the challenges of training without opponents, what keeps her going despite the odds, about stereotypes, and about a topic many people bring up, marriage. She shares how she found her way through each of these hurdles and the future of sumo wrestling for women in India.
