Hello readers,
The good news is that Women Boxing (three weight categories) have been included in the 2012 Olympic games.
While our dear Mary Kom is a someone you can always bet on the other girls are equally good.
So now has the time finally come when India will go beyond the 1 gold medal tally.
Best wishes to our athletes, sportspersons and players.
Manoj

Dear Manoj,
ReplyDeleteMy name is Emily Taguchi, and I am an independent journalist and filmmaker based in San Francisco.
I came across your blog while researching women's boxing in India, which I have been fascinated with. I was wondering if you might have any advice as to how I could reach Mary Kom. You wrote that she was the Deputy Superintendent of the Manipur Police Department. Is this what she does currently? Do you know how I could find her boxing schedule? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. My email address is emilytaguchi@mac.com.
All the best,
Emily
Hi Emily,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. It is encouraging to note that you are following Indian Women Boxers. Marykom is an unrecognized hero and any exposure you can provide will be a deed long overdue.
Marykom is working with the Manipur Police who can be contacted through the following details
MANIPUR POLICE COMPUTER CENTRE
JAIL ROAD, IMPHAL - 795 001
Email: webmaster@manipurpolice.org
Telephone: 91 385 2452 245 /91 385 2451 253
Fax : 91 385 2450 789
I am sure they will welcome your interest in Marykom who is the brightest star in their constellation.
Best wishes,
Manoj
