From Kashmir to Kickboxing | The Shocking Story of Tajammul Islam | Dr Sujit Paul

Tajamul Islam talks about growing up in Kashmir and becoming an international kickboxing champion at a very young age. The interview is less about medals and more about what it took emotionally and socially to get there. She did not grow up with an environment that naturally encouraged girls to pursue combat sports. There were societal expectations, criticism from people around her, and practical obstacles. Yet her family — especially her father — continued supporting her. She explains how discipline became part of her identity very early. Training wasn’t dependent on motivation. It became routine, sacrifice, and responsibility. Dr Sujit Paul, corporate tycoon, but also personal coach and mentor, interviews Tajamul about the challenges in her life and how she grew up in such a conservative state in India, yet still found her passion.

Given his crossover work between corporate work, personal growth and spirituality, you will see why I wanted to have him on the show. ‪@DrSujitPaul‬ ‪@SujitPaulinspirations‬ ‪@DrSujitPaulBengali‬
