Meet Ishita Malaviya, a beautiful dark skinned, South Indian woman who is inspiring young females to take up surfing. She is India’s first, and only, professional female surfer and indirectly fighting its prejudices.

Should we mourn the ban of this centuries old Tamil Nadu rural tradition, or be proud to see the end of what many call a barbaric sport, practiced in modern day South India?

Does this 12 year old Tamil girl from Europe have what it takes to stay in the competition?

Directed by Norwegians Beathe Hofseth & Susann Ã?stigaard, “Light Fly, Fly High” is an award winning film about Thulasi Ekanandam, an Indian female boxer from the Southern state of Tamil Nadu.
