EditorialChandro Tomar, 89, stands for a portrait at her home in Johri, India, Feb. 14, 2021. Tomar first picked up a gun when she was around 68. Until then, she had led a quiet life in Johri, a village in the state of Uttar Pradesh, one of the most conservative regions in India. She spent her days on household chores — milking cows, cutting the grass, grinding wheat and mopping the floors of the large home she shared with her extended family. But a trip to a local shooting range with her granddaughter Shefali, who was 12 at the time, changed everything. She went on to become a medal-winning sharpshooter, eventually winning more than 25 medals. Tomar, who was born in 1931, died on April 30, 2021, at a hospital in the town of Meerut, near her village, said Sumit Rathi, her granddaughter.
