Indian girl 13 climbs everest
Indian girl 13 climbs everest, Re: “ ‘Joyful tears’ on Everest” (Gazette, June 5) I feel truly proud of Malavath Poorna, who in spite of belonging to the Dalit caste of lowly untouchables, was able to make it to the top of Mount Everest.
This 13-year-old daughter of poor Indian farmers became the youngest girl to climb Mount Everest. It is reported that she shed joyful tears at the summit, after a gruelling climb across difficult terrain.
Kudos to young, brave, untouchable Indian girl! She is a model of courage for the whole humanity.
