Adidas Breaks The Rules With Kargil Survivour Major D.P. Singh To #EvenOutTheOdds

We came across this video of Major D.P. Singh, who is a Kargil Survivour and India’s first Blade Runner, and we were floored.

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.

Disabled versus differently abled

What is the population of India? It was 1.2 Billion in 2013. 21 Million people are suffering from some disability or the other.

India at the Rio Paralympics 2016

During the Rio Paralympics India sent 19 para athletes.It's biggest contingent ever.

Nation's pride in Gold and Bronze

During the Paralympics we won two medals, 1 Gold and 1 Bronze.

What we do we do with pride

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.
