New Delhi, March 16 (Ians) Star boxer Nikhat Zareen kickstarted the defence of her title and India’s challenge on an impressive note at the Iba Women’s World Boxing Championships with a dominating victory while Sakshi Chaudhary, Nupur Sheoran and Preeti also made winning starts on the opening day of the competition on Thursday.
Nikhat, the 26-year-old exuberant boxer from Telangana who clinched the 52kg gold in the last edition in Istanbul, took just over four minutes to outclass Anakhanim Ismayilova with the Referee Stops Contest (RSC) verdict in the 50kg opening round contest at the Indira Gandhi Sports Complex here.
The pugilist from Azerbaijan looked clueless against Nikhat’s lopsided bout. The Indian will take on top-seeded Roumaysa Boualam of Algeria in the second round.

With her debut feature film “A First Farewell”, Lina Wang won the Best Asian Future Film Award at the Tokyo international film festival and the Crystal Bear of the Generation Kplus section at Berlin this year. Born (1987) and raised in Shaya, Xinjiang, Wang studied at the Communication University of China in Beijing, before dedicating herself to the filmmaking.
The film centers on three Uighur primary-school children who live in a small village that borders with a vast desert. It’s an intimate and warm story about the small community, that is indirectly addressing some of the Uighur pressing issues.
We interviewed Lina Wang via mail, after the screening of her film at the Cinemajove festival in Valencia.
What makes the Uighur region so attractive?
More than one hundred years ago, the anthropologist Lewis Henry Morgan wrote in his book “Ancient Society”, that the Tarim river is the cradle of the civilization.

Awarded the Grand Prix of the Generation Kplus section at the 2019 Berlinale, A First Farewell is a tenderly observed and quiet drama about the day-to-day struggles of China’s Uyghur ethnic minority in the Muslim-dominated Xinjiang province. This is an impressive debut by Chinese director and Xinjiang-born Lina Wang, who documents the slow, gentle undulations of rural indigenous life in the mountains in rich and striking detail. What’s most evident is the real compassion that Wang demonstrates towards the plights of her young characters – played to perfection by non-professional child actors – whose cocooned existence gradually comes under siege by mounting pressures to conform to a collective Chinese national identity. Young Isa (Isa Yasan) lives in an Uyghur village in northwestern China,...

Friend, I have watched you down the mountain/ Till now in the dark I close my thatch-door…/ Grasses return again green in the spring,/ But, O Wang Sun, will you return? The seasonality of a life far removed from the mechanization of “elevated highways and buildings even made from glass” adheres to a sense of cyclical permanence governed by a higher, earthly power. Though written over a millennium ago, Wang Wei’s poignant question finds a home even today: a contemplation of human impermanence to which there is no immediate answer – a parting, a farewell. It is an unwelcome contemplation with life-changing implications in Lina Wang’s debut feature ‘A First Farewell’ and though the poet himself plays a less wholesome role, his likening as a painter-poet manifests superbly in this visual love-letter to Xinjiang.
