Oh, yes, Manasi, they will.
The heading for the front page lead story in the Times of India today reads Vegetable seller's son from Tamil Nadu high jumps to para gold in Rio, and the inside reports too are excellent. I was so glad to see his mother, a single parent, getting her share of recognition and praise.
The last times we won gold medals in the Paralympics were in 1972 and in 2004. So this is really big news. I am sure a lot of corporate support will be forthcoming, for not just Mariayappan Thangavelu, but for others like him, especially from Tamil Nadu, and of course govt. support as well.
Such wonderful news! I had seen these reports in the net editions of our papers just around the time I saw Lashy's post and Saraswathi Akka's curtain raiser from The Hindu as well, but the ToI front pager on a Sunday morning will get an enormous number of eyeballs.
