Hockey, Kabaddi & Indigenous Sports

Yesterday I dropped a passenger who was a former kabaddi coach from the zilla parishad school. He told me our rural kids have the raw stamina but no proper mat to practice on — meanwhile the city clubs get synthetic courts sponsored by some builder’s charity. We keep talking about reviving indigenous games, but where is the data on how many village grounds have been sold for housing? A few lakh rupees set aside in the education budget could give fifty talukas a decent kabaddi pit, but nobody does the math on what delay costs the next generation.

Arre, that coach is speaking pure gold, yaar. My own village ground where we used to play — it's now a chawl, nobody even remembers the kabaddi circle. And these builder charities, they just want their photo in the newspaper, not to teach our kids how to grip an ankle properly. Khayal rakhna.
