Parneet Kaur, the literature loving, ‘silent warrior’ in the gold winning Indian women’s compound team

Parneet Kaur’s favourite book is Milkha Singh’s autobiography — The Race of My Life. As the title suggests, the soft-spoken, bespectacled 18-year-old produced an effort of a lifetime, emerging as the silent warrior in Indian women compound team’s stunning gold medal victory at the Asian Games on Thursday.
