A swimming coach in Late Moti Nandi's novel screamed "Fight, Kony, fight." Kony, a poor girl coming from a land of abject poverty dreamt to be a swimmer.. fought against all odds. If that was fiction, this one is real. Yesterday, Class X board exam. in West Bengal started. The adjacent photograph is of Nasima Khatun appearing in the exam. at Barasat Vivekananda School, West Bengal without any aid. That she is a girl, that she is from a minority community, that she is handicapped are left way behind. She is a fighter. Our best wishes to Nasima. You inspire us. We'll never give up without fighting!(The photo appeared in today's edition of Anandabazar Patrika)
