Anahat Singh: What's in the name? A word from Nanak's prayer, now India's squash sensation

Anahat Singh's name comes from the word 'anaahat' in Guru Nanak's Japji Sahib, meaning unstruck or unbeaten.

Her father Gursharan Singh chose the name while reading the Sikh prayer on the day she was born in 2008.

Anahat Singh won India's first-ever World Junior squash title at age 18.

She comes from a sporting family: mother Tani Vadera Singh played hockey for Delhi, and father Gursharan Singh played at St. Stephen's College.

The word 'anaahat' appears in Pauris 28-31 of Japji Sahib, signifying a sound that exists without collision.
