The country of India is oozing with pride as 18-year-old Hima Das from Assam achieved a phenomenal feat in Finland, at Tampere’s World U20 Championships. The daughter of a rice farmer from Dhing village in Nagaon district, the teenager, became the first Indian ever to win track gold at a global event.
