Dhrubajyoti Kalita<br />
Dibrugarh, ASSAM<br />
Even though 12-year old<br />
Dhrubajyoti Kalita lost the use<br />
of his right leg when he was a<br />
year and a half old, he did not lose<br />
his sporting spirit! Overcoming his<br />
disability, Dhrubajyoti has perfected<br />
the art of playing many games.<br />
Dhrubajyoti cycles and plays cricket<br />
but his love for football surpasses all<br />
– a passion inherited from his father<br />
who is an active member of the<br />
community sports club. His desire<br />
to play football has made him devise<br />
techniques of playing the game<br />
using only one leg. Today, brave<br />
Dhrubajyoti is living up to his name as<br />
a resplendent star of his club’s Mini<br />
Sub Junior Football Team. A gutsy<br />
defender, Dhrubajyoti has represented<br />
his team in the Mini Sub Junior<br />
Football Competition organised by<br />
Milan Jyoti Sangha in Dibrugarh. He<br />
is now gearing to play the game with<br />
more energy in the coming seasons –<br />
as energetically as he plays traditional<br />
Assamese instruments like the Dhol<br />
and the Pepa!<br />
“To see my little son play football is an unbelievable sight<br />
for me. His never-say-die spirit is the pride of his club.”<br />
Siba Kalita, Dhrubajyoti’s father
