At home with Mary Kom - Yahoo India Person of the Year 2012
In the year that women boxed for the first time at the Olympics, we haven’t stopped gushing about Mary Kom’s hard-won bronze medal. To discover the Mary behind the adulation and the awards, the publicity photos and the video clips, editor BIJOY VENUGOPAL and photographer HARI ADIVAREKAR travelled to Imphal in Manipur, India. And they discovered one thing -- Mary is a champion to adore. With pride, privilege and immense pleasure we announce Yahoo! India’s first-ever Person of the Year 2012. MANGTE CHUNGNEIJANG MARY KOM, Olympic boxer, five-time world champion, model Indian woman, ambassador of the northeast, mother, daughter, wife, friend, teacher, muse… it was not a difficult choice to pick the one Indian whose life story begs to be told. Editor BIJOY VENUGOPAL and photographer HARI ADIVAREKAR travelled to India’s far-flung, forgotten, troubled northeastern state of Manipur to discover the Mary behind the publicity photographs, the video grabs, the adulation and the awards. They came back with one verdict: she’s a champion you'll love.
