SPORTS, CULTURE AND INDIAN LITERATURE

As the above proverb emphasis on the vital role that the sports and game play in our life. Without physical activity the body of a man does not become strong. When there is no strong body, there will not be a strong mind. That is why our ancestors had given much importance to the plays like Kabaddi, Kho, Kho and such other games that make our body strong. One of the world’s most well-known tennis stars, Serena Williams says, “Sport has literally changed my life. I’m here because of sport. It has given me a lot of confidence, a lot of courage, and a lot of discipline. It’s helped me to be the person that I’ve grown to be today.” “The history of sport and games is a part of the history of man as a social animal, his interrelations with other individuals and groups, his civilization and culture, and specially his play.” Subodh Kapoor.
