    For years, people in his village did not call him by the name his parents had given him. They called him "Jhandu" – a nickname born out of tragedy, poverty and ridicule.

    Today, that same name echoes across international arenas after 29-year-old para powerlifter Jhandu Kumar from Harnaut village in Bihar's Nalanda district won India's first medal at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, completing a journey that took him from selling vegetables and driving an e-rickshaw to standing on an international podium.
