Alakhpura: India's 'Mini Brazil' Shines with Football Daughters, Not Just Mallika Sherawat

• Alakhpura village in Bhiwani, Haryana, known as 'Mini Brazil', is gaining global recognition through its football-playing daughters.
• Seven daughters from Alakhpura have been selected for various Indian football teams, including Sanju Yadav for the Senior team and others for U-20 and U-17.
• Over 30 village daughters have secured jobs in the army and railways, becoming self-reliant and supporting their families.
• The village's football journey began around 2005 when PTI Goverdhan Sharma shifted from coaching boys in kabaddi to girls in football, leading to numerous medals.
• The success of these girls has transformed the village's perception of daughters, now seen as a 'gold medal' rather than a burden.

Why It Matters: Alakhpura's daughters are transforming the village into a football powerhouse, bringing global fame and empowerment.
