Letters on Sport in Eastern Bengal is a snapshot from the age of the British Empire, when hunting big game was considered a fun weekend's pursuit for a gentleman, rather than the extinction-threatening irresponsible behaviour we see it as today. It is still a fascinating look into the past, as experienced first hand by the author. Frank B. Simson was a British civil servant working in East Bengal, which later became a territory of Pakistan and is now known as Bangladesh. The purpose of this book was to provide other civil servants sent to Bengal an overview of the sporting opportunities available to them in the region, and by "sporting opportunities," the author is referring to hunting opportunities. The book is composed of a series of letters written by Simson on a wide range of hunting-related topics, which the author wrote by referring to his personal diary as well as his experiences in the field. In all, sixty-one letters are presented in this collection. Topics discussed include how to determine a district's capabilities for good hunting, shooting games, hunting hogs, hunting elephants, hunting tigers, and a host of other chapters on hunting specific animals. Frank B. Simson's Letters on Sport in Eastern Bengal is an interesting volume on a number of levels. It is probably most useful today as a historical snapshot of the attitudes of British civil servants in colonial territories, but may also appeal to the reader simply interested in tales of big game hunting.

This book examines how football, as a mass spectator sport, came to represent a novel, unique cultural identity of Bengali people in terms of nation, community, region/locality and club, contributing to the continuity of everyday socio-cultural life. It explains how football became a viable popular social force with a rare emotional spontaneity and peculiar self-expressive fan culture against the background of anti-imperial nationalist movement and postcolonial political tension and social transformation. In the process, it investigates certain key questions and problems in the social history of football in Bengal, which have hitherto been ignored in the existing works on the subject. The author offers some original arguments in treating football as a cultural phenomenon, setting it squarely in the context of Bengali politics and society. It strengthens the premise that social history of South Asian sport can be meaningfully understood only by looking beyond the sports field. The study, using sport as a lens, has tried to consider some relevant themes of social history, and brings forth important issues of political and cultural history of 20th-century Bengal. Simultaneously, it highlights the transformed role of football as an instrument of reaction, resistance and subversion. It indicates that the football field of Bengal proves to be a mirror image of what society experiences in its cultural and political field, through a series of historical projections of identity, difference and culture.

A detailed study of sports' arrival, spread and advance in colonial and post-colonial South Asia. A selection of articles addresses critical issues of nationalism, communalism, commercialism and gender through the lens of sport. This book makes the point that the social histories of South Asian sport cannot be understood by simply looking at the history of the game in one province or region. Furthermore, it demonstrates that it would be wrong to understand sport in terms of the exigencies of the colonial state. Drawing inspiration from C.L.R. James' well-known epigram, 'What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?' the findings suggest that South Asian sport makes sense only when it is placed within the broader colonial and post-colonial context. The book demonstrates that sport not only influences politics and vice versa, but that the two are inseparable. Sport is not only political, it is politics, intrigue, culture and art. To deny this is to denigrate the position of sport in modern South Asian society. This volume was previously published as a special issue of The International Journal of the History of Sport.
