Arun Sundhral
He wasn't born in India... 🇮🇳❤️
Yet he spent nearly 20 years building India's wrestling future.
When his contract ended... he had every reason to go back home.
But he stayed.
He learned broken Haryanvi to connect with young wrestlers. He trained in basic akharas, fixed wrestling mats himself, introduced modern techniques, and dedicated his life to shaping India's next generation.
Years later... the world celebrated Indian champions like Sushil Kumar, Yogeshwar Dutt, Bajrang Punia and Ravi Dahiya. 🥇
Behind those medals stood a man whose name most Indians never knew...
Vladimir Mestvirishvili.
In 2026, India honoured him with the Padma Shri (Posthumously), making him the first foreign wrestling coach to receive this prestigious award.
Some people aren't born in India...
They simply choose to live for India. ❤️🇮🇳
