Shooter Dadi, broke targets, ceiling and stereotypes with equal ease
MEERUT: Just in March this year, Chandro Tomar, 89, had thrown a New York Times reporter off balance when she said the secret of her good health was all the household chores she did every day, the wheat she ground by hand, the cows she milked, the grass she cut. One of the oldest professional female shooters in the world and winner of numerous national competitions, Tomar, more popular in life and lore as Shooter Dadi, broke targets, ceiling and stereotypes with equal ease.
She died on Friday, battling Covid complication.
