Unit Seven: Youthful Achievers

Lesson 3: The Unbeaten Girls 

A. Look at the picture and discuss the following questions.

Who are these girls?

Are you familiar with such pictures? Why/Why not?

Answer Question No. A

The image shows a group of young female football players wearing green jerseys with red accents, celebrating on the field. They appear to be members of the Bangladesh women's football team, as suggested by their uniforms, which feature the Bangladesh flag and a sports emblem.

Now, let's discuss the given questions:

1. Who are these girls?
   These girls are football players from the Bangladesh women's national or youth football team. They are likely celebrating a victory in an international or regional tournament.

2. Are you familiar with such pictures? Why/Why not?
   If you follow women's football or sports news in Bangladesh, you might be familiar with such images. Women's football in Bangladesh has gained popularity in recent years, with the national team achieving significant success, particularly at the youth level in South Asia. However, if you are not exposed to sports media or women's football news, such images might not be familiar to you.

B. Read the text and answer the questions that follow.
In a traditional society like ours. little boys and girls are given separate sets of toys. While toys for boys include cars, guns or footballs. girls have to be satisfied with dolls (often Barbie dolls) and doll-houses or miniature cooking utensils. The underlying assumption is that boys are active and full of vigour, but girls are naive and lack the intelligence or energy to match their male counterparts.

This false assumption has been shattered plenty of times in the recent decades as girls began to show their power and women began competing with men in almost all areas of life. It has been conclusively proved wrong most recently by the girls of Kalsindur, a village in a remote area in Dhobaura upazila in Mymensingh district. The villagers are mostly low-income but hardworking people. Even a few years ago, there was no electricity in the village. But some girls have illuminated the village both literally and metaphorically with their belief in themselves and their skill in the game of football. The village has emerged now as a footballer factory and a symbol of girl power. And in recognition. of their success, the village was provided electricity by the government.

Sabina Akhter. Sanjida Akhter (7th under 16 promising female player of Asia in 2014), Shiuli Azim, Mariya Manda (Captain, Under 15 Female Football Team 2017), Shamsunnahar senior (who scored the solitary goal against India which ensured SAFF Under 15 Women Championship in 2017), Shamsunnahar junior (Captain of Under 15 National Football Team 2019). Tahura Khatun (who scored 40 goals in international matches till 2021), Marzia Khatun, Mahmuda Khatun, Nazma Akhter, Sajeda Akhter, Rozina Khatun, Taniya Akhter, Rupa Akhter, Kalpana Akhter, Purnima Vaskar are names of some bright stars in Bangladesh Women's National Football Team. They all are from Kalsindur village. Their talent and determination have brought them to where they are now.

While in Kalsindur Government Primary School the girls had a hat-trick record of the championship in Bangamata Begum Fazilatunnesa Mujib Gold Cup Primary School Football Tournament in 2013, 2014 and 2015. After completing primary education they moved on to Kalsindur Secondary School. While there, they became four-time champions in the National Summer Sports Competition for Schools, Madrasas and Technical institutions in 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2019. Kalsindur girls also clinched the Girls' Football Championship in Inter-College (UMA) Games and Sports Competition in 2019-20.

The Bangladesh girls' football team won the AFC Under 14 Regional Football Championship 2015 in Nepal and the team was dominated by Kalsindur footballers. Do you know the team that won the championship in AFC Under 14 Regional Football Tournament 2016 in Tajikistan also had eight Kalsindur girls including the captain and the highest scorer? Bangladesh National Women's Football Team was champion in Hong Kong Under-15 Women's Jockey Cup and Kalsindur girls led the match. They also proved themselves when Bangladesh shared championship jointly with Laos in 2019. Who could even think that these girls would seize the the 1st SAFF under-18 Women Championship in Bhutan in 2018, remaining unbeaten? The whole nation was overwhelmed at their success, and their school was immediately nationalist at their request.

The success of Kalsindur girls reads like an epic. They started their journey with practically nothing. They didn't have any boots or jerseys to wear. Initially, they played wearing salwar and kamij. They also suffered from malnutrition. What made them win against all adversities then? What was the magic behind? Mohammad Mafiz Uddin was an assistant teacher at Kalsindur Government Free Primary School where Minati Rani Sheel was the head teacher. They observed the girls' interests in football and decided to help. It was however not that easy. Girls playing football is still not a common picture in Bangladesh. Guardians were not convinced as they were used to seeing girls helping mothers with household chores. A farmer, an auto-rickshaw driver, a tea-shop owner or a housemaid mother couldn't be that ambitious either. But Minati Rani Sheel and Mohammad Mafiz Uddin persuaded them to allow their daughters to play. Being great motivators, the two teachers supported the girls in their effort to overcome the odds. They inspired them, created opportunities for them and took personal care of them. Soon the girls could prove themselves, shaking off their inhibition. Their success has also persuaded the villagers to come to their support.
When the girls moved to the nearby secondary school and college, they did not have their Minati Maam and Matiz Uddin Sir with them, but soon another motherly person offered her helping hand Mala Rani Sarkar, an Assistant Professor of History who was joined by one of her colleagues, Juel Mia. They agreed to coach the girls. Mr Jalaluddin, who was then the head teacher of the school, also supported them. Gradually the local community, public representatives and the local administration came forward. Bangladesh Football Federation also gave special attention to them and finally another football magician, Golam Robbani Choton, the coach of the Bangladesh Women's National Football Team, mentored these girls and helped them become complete professional footballers.
Now people realise what their golden girls could bring for them. "When these girls go from one place to another, even the auto-rickshaw pullers don't take any fare from them as they are the pride of the village. It's a small token of recognition but it's great!," says Mala Rani Sarkar, the Team Manager of Kalisindur Women's Football Team. She also adds that Kalsindur would present more female footballers in future, as of 2021 they are grooming another 65 girls to play for the nation

E. Answer the following questions.

1. How do people commonly discriminate between genders?

2. What do the Kalsindur girls owe to their teachers and guardians?

3. What is the moral of the story and how does it affect you?

4. Who, according to you, contributed the most to Kalsindur girls' success? Why do you think so?

5. Justify the statement the story is a good example of reciprocal respect.

Answer Question No. E

1. How do people commonly discriminate between genders?
People commonly discriminate between genders by assigning different roles, expectations, and opportunities to boys and girls. In traditional societies, boys are encouraged to be active, strong, and ambitious, while girls are expected to be gentle, naive, and limited to household duties. This is reflected even in the choice of toys, with boys receiving cars, guns, or footballs and girls being given dolls and miniature kitchen sets. Such discrimination limits girls' potential and reinforces stereotypes that they are less capable than boys in physical activities, leadership, and professional fields.

2. What do the Kalsindur girls owe to their teachers and guardians?
The Kalsindur girls owe their success to the immense support and motivation they received from their teachers and guardians. Teachers like Minati Rani Sheel, Mohammad Mafiz Uddin, Mala Rani Sarkar, and Juel Mia played a crucial role in guiding and training them, despite societal resistance. They convinced parents to allow their daughters to play football, arranged facilities, and nurtured their confidence. The guardians, though hesitant at first, eventually supported their daughters' dreams. Without this encouragement, the girls would not have been able to break barriers and achieve national and international recognition.

3. What is the moral of the story and how does it affect you?
The moral of the story is that determination, support, and breaking societal stereotypes can lead to extraordinary success. The Kalsindur girls proved that talent and hard work can overcome any obstacle, no matter how big. Their journey teaches us that gender should never limit one's dreams and that society must encourage both boys and girls equally. This story inspires me to challenge outdated norms, believe in myself, and support others in achieving their goals, regardless of societal expectations.

4. Who, according to you, contributed the most to Kalsindur girls' success? Why do you think so?
According to me, Minati Rani Sheel and Mohammad Mafiz Uddin contributed the most to the Kalsindur girls' success. They were the first to recognize the girls' passion for football and took the initiative to guide them despite strong opposition. They persuaded the parents, provided training, and encouraged the girls when no one else believed in them. Without their dedication and belief in the girls' potential, the success story of Kalsindur would not have been possible.

5. Justify the statement: "The story is a good example of reciprocal respect."
The story is a great example of reciprocal respect because the Kalsindur girls and their mentors, guardians, and community members all supported and appreciated each other. The teachers and coaches respected the girls' dreams and talents, guiding them despite societal resistance. In return, the girls worked hard, proved their worth, and brought pride to their village and nation. As a sign of respect and gratitude, even auto-rickshaw drivers refused to take fares from them, recognizing their achievements. This mutual admiration and support highlight the power of reciprocal respect in achieving success.

Subject: Request to Arrange an Inter-College Football Tournament

Dear Sir/Madam,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to request your support in organizing an inter-college football tournament in our area. As you are aware, football has gained immense popularity among both boys and girls in recent years, and an inter-college tournament would provide a great platform for young players to showcase their talent.

Many young footballers in Jashore are eager to participate in competitive matches but lack proper opportunities. A district-level tournament would not only encourage youth engagement in sports but also help in identifying and nurturing future talents for the national level. Furthermore, it would promote teamwork, discipline, and a healthy lifestyle among students.

We would appreciate your initiative in coordinating this event and collaborating with local educational institutions to ensure its success. Your support in providing necessary arrangements such as a venue, referees, and equipment would be invaluable.

I kindly request you to consider this proposal and take the necessary steps to organize the tournament at the earliest possible date. Your efforts in promoting sports and youth development in our community would be highly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your positive response.

Sincerely,
Rupa Akhter
(Student & Football Enthusiast)
