In the 2016 Rio Paralympics, Indian para-athletes brought in more podium finishes (2 Golds, 1 Silver and 1 Bronze) than their able-bodied counterparts at the Olympics.

Why should India allocate more attention and resources to these athletes?
We explore these questions and more, in part 3 of our series — #Changethescript — with Deepthi Bopaiah, Executive Director of the GoSports Foundation.
