Why Bhiwani
Bhiwani is a district town in Haryana that punches far above its size. It is often called "Mini Cuba" because of the number of boxers it has produced, and "Chhoti Kashi" for its many temples. Most of what is written about it online is a list of facts. Bhiwani Boy is about the stories behind them.
