PV Sindhu became the first Indian woman and the second Indian to win two individual medals at the Olympics, but it was something else that captured the imagination of Indians. On Google, “PV Sindhu caste" became one of the most searched topics about the athlete. On Sunday, Sindhu beat China’s He Bingjiao 21-13, 21-15 to win a bronze medal at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics Games. Sindhu also became only the fourth female shuttler in all of Olympic history to win medals in back-to-back Games. She was on her aggressive best throughout the match and remained in her zone as she beat Bingjiao in 53 minutes. After her win, Sindhu said she was not sure if she should be happy about the bronze or be sad about the missed opportunity of another final but in the end, she felt she did really well.
Indians seem to agree with the last bit, but true to character, some of them couldn’t rein themselves in when it came to their inherent casteism. One of the most searched topics following her win, for the term ‘Pv Sindhu’ was her ‘caste.’ The term witnessed a 700% increase in searches.
