Inayat, a 25-year-old from Srinagar, wakes up before dawn every morning to practice hockey on the newly laid astroturf at the Polo grounds. She is among the thousands of boys and girls in Jammu and Kashmir who have taken up the sport, hoping to bring glory to India on the international stage.

Inayat has already played for her state in national competitions and dreams of representing India internationally.
