Industrialist Anand Mahindra is recognised for sharing inspirational and exciting posts on Twitter. Recently, he shared a video of a nine-year-old practising Kalaripayattu with effortless ease using a long stick. Kalaripayattu is an ancient martial art form found in Kerala. Kalaripayattu was meant for the ancient battlefield with weapons such as daggers, sticks and swords.
In the caption of his post, Anand Mahindra introduced the child in the video as a girl. A part of Anand's title reads, “WARNING: Do NOT get in this young woman’s way!” In the comments section, many identified him as Neelakandan Nair, Kerala's Ekaveera Kalaripayattu Academy student. Even Neelakandan also confirmed Anand Mahindra's video and wrote, "I am not a girl. I am a 10-year-old boy."
So far, the video has been watched over 329k times on Twitter, with several netizens enjoyed the video and applauded the child. Take a look.
WARNING: Do NOT get in this young woman’s way! And Kalaripayattu needs to be given a significantly greater share of the limelight in our sporting priorities. This can—and will— catch the world’s attention. pic.twitter.com/OJmJqxKhdN
