Sanno Babe (left) and Shakila Babe (right) at their small two roomed apartment in Iqbalpur, Kolkata. They have to share it with ten family members. These prodigious twins from a poor Muslim community in Iqbalpur, proved that women can do things men can do. Inspite of their fathers reluctance on the ground of social and communal bindings, their mother inspired them to become female boxers. Against all the odds, Shakila now is recognized as one of the most promising young women boxers in India. She won the international championship in Turkey. Sanno had also been nominated for the National camp in 2007. Their success inspires others in the community. Today Shakila and Sanno are two significant names in the realm of women empowerment.
