Maria Toorpakai Wazir a teenager has kept aside the prohibition of her nation’s conservative society and has come out victorious by becoming Pakistan’s first Pathan woman squash player.
Being a rebel by nature, the sixteen year old has made an effort in coming out of the threshold which has been created for the native women.
Not only in one particular sport, she has also earned laurel in weightlifting but couldn’t pursue the sport because there are no such events for women in Pakistan.
Maria herself says,
‘Parents should try to be broad minded. They shouldn’t think that girls can’t do anything. It’s the 21st century’.
