Not long ago, a 17-year-old girl named Ritika Phogat in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan hanged herself, causing shock and concern throughout India.
Because Ritika Phogat is not only an excellent female wrestler, but also because of her special status:
She is the niece of the world-famous wrestler Mahavir Phogat, the famous wrestler sister Geeta and Babita's cousin, and the latter three are the story of the indian movie "Wrestle, Daddy", which has swept the world...
Movie "Wrestle, Daddy"
The film, starring Aamir Khan, tells the inspirational story of Mahavir, a stern and loving father, who trains his two daughters, Geeta and Babita, into famous female wrestlers.
Mahavir himself
However, in reality, Mahavir's new generation of female wrestlers, niece Ritika, hanged herself in the room of Mahavir's house because she lost last month's match.
All this has pushed Photogat, a world-famous wrestling family, to the cusp of the storm, and has also caused a huge controversy among netizens:
Is it really appropriate to overuse the seemingly inspirational devil training in reality?
Mahavir's method once cultivated two daughters of national players, but now it has cultivated a player who cannot accept defeat and commit suicide...
Mahavir's story is already quite familiar to us, much like the plot in the movie.
This amateur wrestler father, originally bent on having a son to inherit the mantle, but because of the unfulfilled wishes, he even gave birth to 4 babies as daughters, plus two daughters who helped a dead brother take care of, Mahavir's family has a total of 6 girls.
Mahavir discovered her daughter's wrestling talent and overcame various difficulties to train her daughter Geeta and Babita to become professional wrestlers.
The eldest daughter, Geeta, won India's first Commonwealth Games gold medal in 2010 and became the first Indian female wrestler to compete in the Olympics in 2012.
Babita and Geeta
After his two daughters won honors for India, Mahavir did not stop the pace of education, he himself also vigorously promoted the development of wrestling, and then founded a wrestling academy named after himself.
With geeta and babita, two role models, more and more girls from the Phogat family are joining the wrestling scene.
In 2015, Ritika, the daughter of another of Mahavir's brothers, entered Mahavir's sports academy to study and train, and also entered Mahavir's disciples as another of his disciples, Ritika is very ambitious, she aspires to become a good wrestler like two cousins.
Ritika
Mahavir also assured the brothers that he would train Rika to be a good player and like Geeta and Babita in the future to fight for the country...
Similar to the plot of the movie "Wrestle, Daddy", Mahavir still came up with the method of raising two daughters, training and disciplined Ritika strictly, and sometimes pulling in his younger brother (Ritika's father) to supervise the training of his niece.
Since then, Ritika's life has been completely dominated by training and competition, geeta and Babita have commented on her cousin Ritika, saying that she has a "rare talent for wrestling", and Ritika herself is also extremely hardworking.
However, since entering the wrestling circle, the surname Phogat has become a heavy burden on Ritika.
Ritika is a strong girl who does not allow herself to fall behind, let alone insult the reputation of the Phogat family.
Many times, however, when Ritika loses a little, people around her make fun of her last name:
Saying that Ritika did not deserve the surname Ofgat, lost the faces of two cousins and uncles...

In such an environment, Ritika's whole body is occupied by the victory and defeat of the game, and the pressure is high every day.
Ritika, on the other hand, was ambitious and set herself the great goal of surpassing her two cousins and winning India's first Olympic women's wrestling gold medal.
Since then, no matter what level of competition, Ritika has fought every innings and is always eager to win at all costs.
A strong and persistent desire to win or lose has a positive effect on the performance of athletes, but once everything is overdone, it will be counterproductive and even lead to serious consequences.
Similar to her two cousins' early experiences, Ritika has been able to cut through thorns and thorns, from the junior group, the junior group, and even the men's level competition, she has continued to achieve excellent results, winning one medal after another.
However, behind the achievements and honors, she became more and more unable to accept failure...
In March of this year, she participated in the State Wrestling Tour in Rajasthan, and in the previous competitions, she performed well and cut all the way.
By the march 14 match, Ritika was desperately desperate, her father and uncle Mahavir were on the spot to cheer, and at the last moment, due to the controversial penalty, she finally lost by one point.
Ritika and Uncle Mahavir felt that the referee was unfair to them and expressed their dissatisfaction on the spot, but still could not change the result of the game.
After the game, Ritika returned to Uncle Mahavir's house as usual, and after a little summary, they all rested.
Unexpectedly, the loss of the game has been lingering in Ritika's mind, and for the next few days, she is still addicted to it.
On March 17, Ritika could no longer bear the enormous pressure of losing the match, and she tied a rope to the ceiling fan of the room of Mahavir's house, ending her young life...
The news of Ritika's suicide soon shocked all of India.
While expressing their condolences to Ritika and the Mahavir family, there has been extensive discussion about the "Ritika suicide case".
Mahavir's training methods were discussed and there was also a reflection on the mental health education of athletes.
Many people believe that Mahavir's training method is the routine of traditional Indian coaches, through devil training to improve athletic ability.
But, like most Indian coaches, Mahavir has its own obvious shortcoming of paying little attention to the mental health of athletes, especially how to regulate psychology in the face of failure.
To put it bluntly, "anti-business education" is almost blank in the Indian sports world, and in this regard, even Mahavir, who has a lot of experience and has trained many excellent athletes, is no exception.
In addition, a well-known psychologist believes that in addition to the lack of attention to mental health in the sports world, Ritika's death has a lot to do with the atmosphere of Indian society:
"In India, there are no teachers who teach people how to deal with failure. In fact, people never accept failure, and here failure is an original sin. ”
"As we know, once Ritika suffers a failure, people around her often bring out her cousin's name to make fun of her, and these kinds of things have a considerable impact on Ritika's mental health."
Whatever the reason, in the end, Ritika's young life could not be saved.
Life is always full of failures, and learning to face failures calmly is the right way to move forward.
Everything, as Mahavir's eldest daughter Geeta reflects as she mourns on Twitter:
"It was a moment of great sadness for our family, Ritika was a gifted wrestler. I don't know why she got this far. Winning or losing is only a part of an athlete's life, not the whole story. We should never do this for the sake of winning or losing..."
