Afshan Ashiq, the Kashmiri girl who shot to limelight after being photographed while pelting stones at cops last year, is today the captain of the J&K women’s soccer team. Afshan, who plays for a Mumbai club, says she wants to make India proud. That picture, Afshan now says, not just turned around her sporting career but also helped introduce many Kashmiri girls to a male-dominated sport. On Tuesday, Afshan called on Union home minister Rajnath Singh.
