Five in the contingent of 16 which took part in the 3rd Youth and 10th junior Asian Judo Championships, in Lebanon last month, were from Dera Sacha Sauda Education Institutes and they won four of India’s eight medals. All five —Rekha (19), Naveen (17), Anup (18), Rajinder (20) and Balwinder (16) — go only by first names and are students of the Dera-owned educational institutes. So far, 10 judokas from this sect have represented India. Dera judokas Anup (bronze in junior boys’ section) and Balwinder (silver in the youth competition) won India’s only medals in the boys’ category. Rekha and Naveen bagged a bronze Rekha, a second year arts student at the Dera-run Shah Satnamji Girls College, became the first girl from the sect to represent India when she took part in the junior World Championship in 2007. In the same year, Rajinder Singh became the first boy to from the community to do that. Since then, there hasn’t been a junior India judo team without a representative from this sect.
