First, Indian Express' Vinayakk Mohanarangan talks to us about one of the biggest days for India at the Paralympics. For the first ever time India won 8 medals within one day at the games. Indian para athletes created history by bagging two gold medals, 3 silver and 3 bronze medals within a day at the Paris Paralympics 2024.
