About this ebook
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.
