Google Doodle honors Hamida Banu, India's first professional woman wrestler, who defied social norms by entering the male-dominated sport in the 1940s. Born in the early 1900s near Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, Banu won over 300 competitions, including a decisive victory against renowned wrestler Baba Pahalwan in 1954, which led to his retirement. Known as the "Amazon of Aligarh," Banu's fearless approach and international victories inspire generations of female athletes.
