Reaching as far back as ancient times, Ronojoy Sen pairs a novel history of India's engagement with sport and a probing analysis of its cultural and political development under monarchy and colonialism, and as an independent nation. Some sports that originated in India have fallen out of favor, while others, such as cricket, have been adopted and made wholly India's own. Sen's innovative project casts sport less as a natural expression of human competition than as an instructive practice reflecting a unique play with power, morality, aesthetics, identity, and money. Sen follows the transformation of sport from an elite, kingly pastime to a national obsession tied to colonialism, nationalism, and free market liberalization. He pays special attention to two modern phenomena: the dominance of cricket in the Indian consciousness and the chronic failure of a billion-strong nation to compete successfully in international sporting competitions, such as the Olympics. Innovatively incorporating examples from popular media and other unconventional sources, Sen not only captures the political nature of sport in India but also reveals the patterns of patronage, clientage, and institutionalization that have bound this diverse nation together for centuries.

We are losing sports culture due to the insistence on western sports such as tennis or cricket or golf that require expensive courts and equipment. Do you know atya-patya, lagori, gilli danda, nondi and kabaddi are infinitely exciting games, requiring little infrastructure or equipment? Do you know that a game that has nine chasers for just three runners? That Rugby is is similar but has a longer history to Yubi Lakpi known for thousands of years in India ? We have picked 15 fun games that schools and colleges can integrate into their sports class. Apartment complexes, dense neighbourhoods and sports clubs can use this book as a reference to play these games and organize events. Our games also connect us with our history and culture. With the onslaught of digital games, many children are becoming couch potatoes and socially inept. If you don't play sports because you don't have a tennis court or cricket grounds within your reach, then why not play right where you live and have ten times more fun! We want to see the neighbourhoods revived. Hungama in apartment complexes. School breaks to be loud with laughter and excitement.

“Neither the highly commercialized nature of professional sports today nor the more casual attitude prevailing in amateur activities captures the essence of Indian sport,” writes Joseph B. Oxendine. Through sport, Indians sought blessings from a higher spirit. Sport that evolved from religious rites retained a spiritual dimension, as seen in the attitude and manner of preparing and participating. In American Indian Sports Heritage, Oxendine discusses the history and importance in everyday life of ball games (especially lacrosse), running, archery, swimming, snow snake, hoop-and-pole, and games of chance. Indians gained nationwide visibility as athletes in baseball and football; the teams at boarding schools such as the Carlisle Indian Industrial School in Pennsylvania and the Haskell Institute in Kansas were especially famous. Oxendine describes the apex of Indian sports during the first three decades of the twentieth century and chronicles the decline since. He looks at the career of the legendary Jim Thorpe and provides brief biographies of other Indian athletes before and after 1930.

Something special is afoot in India. Our athletes now depart for international events aiming to win medals, often returning disappointed with a 'mere silver'. Bright-eyed aspirants in sports-from badminton to gymnastics-are training across the country. Homegrown leagues are attracting the world's best athletes and professionals. The country boasts multiple World No. 1 teams and athletes, and sporting achievements are handsomely rewarded. Our next Olympic and Paralympic gold medals are talked about in terms of when, not whether. Much of this was simply unthinkable at the turn of the millennium. Today, there is no longer a doubt that an Indian can. A country is changing the way it looks at sport and, along the way, how it looks at itself. With personal accounts from Abhinav Bindra, Pullela Gopichand and Rahul Dravid, Go! features a never-before collection of essays by leading sports writers, athletes and professionals, who together tell a compelling story of India's ongoing sporting transformation.
