S1 E14 | Little Panther of Pakistan Hockey | Muffled Minds Podcast

Pakistan women hockey history.

Forgotten sports heroes of Pakistan.

This episode uncovers the untold reality of women athletes who served Pakistan selflessly — yet were forgotten by the system.

In this powerful episode of Muffled Minds, we share the emotional journey of Nargis Khan, former captain and legendary goalkeeper of Pakistan women’s hockey team.

Serving hockey since 1980, she defended Pakistan’s goal for 45 years — without salary, without equipment, without recognition.

From playing international matches with cloth-made leg guards, earning the title “Little Panther” from Ireland, to receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award that couldn’t compensate decades of neglect — this story questions how we treat our national heroes.

We discuss:

• Rise of women hockey in Pakistan

• Playing for Pakistan without match fees or allowances

• Struggles of women athletes during Zia-ul-Haq era

• Support during Benazir Bhutto & Musharraf eras

• Why patriotism should not mean playing for free

• Role of government & hockey federation

• Mental strength behind 45 years of service

• Appeal for scholarships & athlete support systems

Muffled Minds is not about fixing anyone — it’s about giving voices to the unheard.

If you believe our heroes deserve dignity, this episode is for you.

✨ Subscribe to join us as we break the silence and question the system.
