The ten sportspeople profiled in Courage beyond Compare-champions in disciplines as diverse as athletics, long-distance swimming, badminton and cricket, who have brought glory to the country both in national and international arenas-overcame immense physical limitations to reach the pinnacle in their chosen fields. Powerful and inspiring, these stories are heart-warming reminders that a strong mind, steely will and dogged determination almost always triumph over the limitations of the human body. At the same time, Courage beyond Compare brings into sobering focus how far India must still go to ensure an equitable society for the differently abled, and how little it cares for the sportspeople who move heaven and earth for the glory of the nation.
