Glasgow 2014 XX Commonwealth Games – Manipur’s Laishram Sarita has to settle for Silver Medal after she lost to Australian boxer Shelley Watts in the Final of Women Boxing Light (57 – 60 Kg) category. But the fact that Laishram Sarita bounced back from motherhood (her son Tomthil is not even 1 yr old) to win silver at such sporting event is no mean achievement. She was ‘Mother Courage’ personified.
