'Durga of Indian Football-Oinam Bembem Devi is Breaking Stereotypes,' says Harsimrat Kaur Badal
Two days prior to International Women's Day, Union Cabinet Minister of Food Processing Harsimrat Kaur Badal took to social media site Twitter and expressed how the Durga of Indian Football- Oinam Bembem Devi is breaking stereotypes.
"Indian female footballer Oinam Bembem Devi scripted history by becoming the second lady from the nation to win the prestigious Arjuna Award. Nicknamed as the ‘Durga of Indian Football’, she has also won the AIFF Woman Footballer Award twice, in 2001 and 2013. Devi was also an integral cog and the mastermind for the nation's victory in five international tournaments. A top performer over two decades, Devi has made ineffable contributions to Indian Football both on and off the field. She is an inspiration to many! #BreakingStereotypes", Harsimrat Kaur Badal wrote on Twitter.
