Has any one of us ever thought what people with only one leg or one foot or one functioning foot, do with the other shoe? It is totally useless to them isn’t it? Adidas gets thinking and makes us think with this video. A pair of two lefts or two rights! What a pathbreaking idea which in retrospect seems like such a simple solution and yet it has not existed in all these years.
What is the population of India? It was 1.2 Billion in 2013. 21 Million people are suffering from some disability or the other.
During the Rio Paralympics India sent 19 para athletes.It's biggest contingent ever.
During the Paralympics we won two medals, 1 Gold and 1 Bronze.
In the 48 years that we have participated in the Paralympics we have won 3 Gold medals, in swimming and athletics. We have won a total of 9 Paralympic medals.
Just Like Major D.P. Singh, our differently abled athletes are going shoulder to shoulder saying that they can not only play the odds that have been dealt but they can #EvenOutTheOdds as well.
