History of Paralympics (Paralympics Games)
Dr. Ludwig Guttmann created the Stoke Mandeville Games in 1948 for wheelchair athletes in England, which marked the start of the Paralympic Games. This competition served as a springboard for the 1960 Rome, Italy, Paralympic Games, which included 400 competitors from 23 nations.
The Paralympics have developed throughout the years, with the Summer Paralympics in Seoul in 1988 being the first to share sites with the Olympics and the first Winter Paralympic Games held in 1976. The Paralympics are now a significant worldwide occasion that celebrates diversity and highlights the amazing abilities of competitors with disabilities.

India performed remarkably at the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, achieving their best-ever medal haul with five gold, eight silver, and six bronze medals. Some standout performances included:

India’s athletes showcased incredible talent and determination, making the nation proud globally.
