Who is Arunima ?

Arunima was born in 1988, and belongs to Ambedkar Nagar in Uttar Pradesh. Earlier, she was a national level volleyball player.

But in 2011, Arunima lost her one leg after she was thrown out of the Padmavati train by dacoits, while travelling from Lucknow to Delhi.

The so-called ‘handicap’ could not deter Arunima’s spirit. Instead, she now dreamt of soaring even higher, and determined to become a world-class mountaineer.

Arunima was honored with Padma Shri, the fourth highest Civilian Award in 2015 .

Her latest victory, of climbing the Antarctica mountain is yet another feather in her cap.

Here’s how Indians took to Twitter to congratulate Arunima for her latest achievement.

Hurrahhhh!!
India's all time inspiration, @sinha_arunima, has conquered Antarctica's highest peak, MOUNT VINSON.

Many many congratulations to you Arunima Mam. May God bless you and give you more power to write many such victories. JAI HIND 🇮🇳#Salute #FridayFeeling pic.twitter.com/rL1ovh7NXw
