Murlikant Rajaram Perkar first Indian gold medalist in the Paralympic games. He won a Gold medal in the 1972 Summer Paralympics Held in Heidelberg, Germany. He set a world record at 50m Freestyle swimming. In 2018, he won Padmashri.
A recent Hindi movie named Chandu Champion has spread his story all around India about how his perseverance made his dream come true.
First, he was born in 1944 in Islampur Maharastra. He used to tell everyone when he was young that he wanted to win the Olympics and that he will.
In that small village, there was only one sport, "wrestling". He asked those who taught wrestling to keep him with them and that he would serve as their most faithful servant. He later wanted to fight against someone when he fought, he won, which created a big fight, so he caught a running train, the first pathway to his dreams.
Then he reached the Indian army and started practising Boxing. He represented India but didn't get a seat in the Olympics.
Later at a war in Kashmir his legs were shot and 9 bullets were in his body. But he didn't give up and practised swimming then he at last reached Olympics and got a gold medal.
This is just a Summary of his life. There is more to it if you have the chance to see Chnadu Champion Please do.
This was a inspiration to all the young ones who wanted to do the Olympics in their later life.
