Women can play too!

Duration: 1:52 mins, Location: Mumbai The open spaces in slum areas are only for boys to play cricket, soccer and their school games. But what about the girls? They are stuck doing household chores and staying indoors. In this video, we are introduced to a role model, Monica Sumra, who is one of the few women players for the Indian cricket team and encourages young girls to start playing and doing what they want! This video was used as a campaign for Akshara - visit Apna TV CVU page for more information.

@madarchod010388 what i meant was them Indian's in that video are darker than black, i didn't mean all Indiana around India. of course i know that Indian's come in a variety of different colours im half indian my self and my indian half of the family are for the majority are quite light. usually Indians from the north are light and Indians from the south are dark.

I thought i was the pioneer of woman criket in the world in 1969 while i was in the university. MY hall of resident was opposite the hall of resident of girls. I came up with the idea of how to pull girls by forming a mix crciket with boys and girls in each team and to worked. I must say two of the players fell in love ,a boy and a girl,got married later. I managed to invite several girls to our hall for annual dinner party.these girls were from other races and religions.
