Cricket
and soccer have been popular sports in India since the colonial period.
India’s national cricket team competes at the highest international level.
Soccer is popular in eastern India. In central India men play a traditional
Indian team sport, kabaddi, that requires quickness and strength. The
oldest sport, one that goes back to the time of the Hindu epics, is
freestyle wrestling. Wrestling clubs, presided over by a guru, feature a
regimen of Hindu religious ritual and practice.
There are a number of traditional games played mainly by men. These
include chess, which originated in India, and pachisi, which literally
means “twenty-five,” after the number of spaces moved in one throw of the
dice in the original Indian game. Card games also are common as is
gambling.
Kabaddi is primarily an Indian game. Nothing is known for certain about
the origin of
this game. It requires both power and skill. It is quite
simple and inexpensive and requires neither a big playing area nor any
equipment. The game is very popular and regular Kabaddi
Tournaments are
held now. Its rules have been formulated and refined. Kabaddi was one of
the demonstration games played at the time of Asiad 82.
This game is also known by other names like Hu-Tu-Tu, Hadudu, Chhu Kit Kit
and of course, Kabaddi. There are two teams, each with twelve players. The
main objective of this game is that each side tries to make as many
players of the opponent's team out as possible. Finally, the team that has
more players left wins.
In the process of eliminating the opponents, one member of the raiding
team goes into the opposite camp, holding his breath and chanting a
particular tune (like " kit kit kit kit" or "hu tu tu hu tu tu") His aim
is to touch as many opponents as possible. Each person, whom he touches,
becomes 'out'. However, if in the process, he gets caught by the opponents
and loses his breath, he goes 'out'. But, if he manages to hold his breath
long enough to drag himself across the mid-line and into his own side, all
those who were catching him
become 'out.' The
two teams raid one another
alternately; one member venturing forth at one time.
Indians with leisure time and money, such as the middle class, go to the
cinema, or increasingly watch television. During school holidays families
may visit relatives or go briefly to hill resorts where it is cooler. In
rural areas, slack times in the agricultural cycle allow families to go on
pilgrimage or attend weddings, which include much feasting. India has many
religious festivals, which provide occasions for even more feasting and
conversation, perhaps accompanied by music or a dance or folk theater
performance.
India, officially Republic of India (Hindi Bharat), country in southern
Asia, located on the subcontinent of India. It is bounded on the north by
Afghanistan, China, Nepal, and Bhutan; on the east by Bangladesh, Myanmar
(formerly known as Burma), and the Bay of Bengal; on the south by the Palk
Strait and the Gulf of Mann?r (which separates it from Sri Lanka) and the
Indian Ocean; and on the west by the Arabian Sea and Pakistan. India is
divided into 28 states and 7 union territories (including the National
Capital Territory of Delhi). New Delhi is the country’s capital.
The world’s seventh largest country in area, India occupies more than 3
million sq km (1 million sq mi), encompassing a varied landscape rich in
natural resources. The Indian Peninsula forms a rough triangle framed on
the north by the world’s highest mountains, the Himalayas, and on the
east, south, and west by oceans. Its topography varies from the barren
dunes of the Thar Desert to the dense tropical forests of rain-drenched
Assam state. Much of India, however, consists of fertile river plains and
high plateaus. Several major rivers, including the Ganges, Brahmaputra,
and Indus, flow through India. Arising in the northern mountains and
carrying rich alluvial soil to the plains below, these mighty rivers have
supported agriculture-based civilizations for thousands of years.
With more than 1 billion inhabitants, India ranks second only to China
among the world’s most populous countries. Its people are culturally
diverse, and religion plays an important role in the life of the country.
About 83 percent of the people practice Hinduism, a religion that
originated in India. Another 12 percent are Muslims, and millions of
others are Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, and Jains. Eighteen major
languages and more than 1,000 minor languages and dialects are spoken in
India.
The Indian economy has also evolved since independence. Once heavily
dependent on agriculture, it has expanded in recent years into the realms
of industry and services. Economic reforms in 1991 dramatically altered
economic policy to privatize state-owned enterprises and to promote
competition and investment. The economic focus of the country has since
changed from one based on self-sufficiency to one based on trade with
other countries.
India’s people inherited a civilization that began more than 4,500 years
ago, one that has proven capable of absorbing and transforming the peoples
and cultures that over the centuries have come to the subcontinent.
