PUNE: Chand Chahal wants to see a rower from his academy in Jind, Haryana, stand on the podium at the Asian Games in 2030. Unwittingly, in the process, the 40-year-old former oarsman might also be creating a sporting revolution in his home state.
For, Jind, like most towns in the northern state, is famous for akhadas. Chahal's late father Chotu Ram himself was a national level wrestler, as well as his elder brother Netrapal. Not to forget his seven-year-old son.
