Bachendri Pal, first Indian woman to scale Mount Everest, reveals story of bruised egos 35 years on

In India, maybe the first lesson in school textbooks on women's empowerment comes with the example of Bachendri Pal. How she braved all adversities and became the first Indian woman to unfurl the tricolour on top of the 8,848-m Mount Everest on May 23, 1984, is widely known. However, not many know that Pal wasn’t done with her adventures after that historic day. Pal led an Indo-Nepalese Mount Everest expedition of 18 people, including seven women, in 1993. A year later, she headed an all-women team of 18 rafters in ‘The Great Indian Women's Rafting Voyage’, successfully completing a journey in the river Ganga from Haridwar to Calcutta (now Kolkata), covering 2155 kilometres in 39 days. Named one of India’s 50 most illustrious women in a book authored by Indra Gupta in 2004, Pal could never stay away from the excitement life brings along with it. Pal, who was named the director of the Tata Steel Adventure Foundation (TSAF) soon after she conquered the highest peak of the world, said it has been a memorable ride with the company. Speaking on the occasion of the 35th anniversary of the historic day of her Mount Everest climb, she said, “Tata Steel backed me when no one else believed in me. Even as my family kept pushing my brothers towards higher education, Tata handed me 1500 rupees before my climb. In those days, that was a lot.” Read: Is mountaineering actually considered a sport?
