Fighting Against Heavy Odds
It is difficult to ascertain whether the history of sport has crossed its adolescence in India or not. To establish its credibility as a viable academic discipline has proved something of a struggle for those Indian scholars engaged in its research in the past. In the light of my experiences of doing research and editing a journal on sports, and teaching the history of sport at the postgraduate level over the past two decades, I intend to argue t…
Prologue
Cricket as nationalist obsession
Bangladesh shares a common South Asian cricket culture with the subcontinental Big Threes – India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka – in the new century. Moreover, cricket acts as a great leveller in Bangladeshi society ridden with political dissension and socio-communal tension. The performance of Bangladesh in the 2007 World Cup and its impact on the everyday life of Bangladesh constituted a critical juncture in the transformation of cricket from a cultu…
Introduction
Soccer, the most popular mass spectator sport in the world, has always remained a marker of identities of various sorts. Behind the facade of its obvious entertainment aspect, it has proved to be a
In search of an identity
This essay deals with soccer's burgeoning communal encounter in India from the 1930s, which began to erode football's overwhelming status as an instrument of cultural nationalism. It intends to show that this trend can be meaningfully explained only in terms of socio‐political and economic life of India in the 1930s. The unhealthy clash between the Hindu bhadrolok dominated Indian Football Association and the Mohammedan Sporting Club, representat…
The nation and its fragments’
Football has been one of the central components of popular culture in colonial and post‐colonial India. It has been closely linked to wider historical processes which have shaped the society and culture of the region since the nineteenth century. The history of Indian football shows that community connections and identities have been strongly articulated through the game at different points in time. In India, football started as a marker of natio…
Feel Good, Goodwill and India's Friendship Tour of Pakistan, 2004
India's cricket tour of Pakistan in early 2004 evoked a plethora of responses in Indian public life. From learned to laity people began to consider cricket as a means to various ends: a political instrument to generate electoral confidence, a diplomatic ploy to accelerate peace process, an economic means to ameliorate the neighbour's pecuniary distress, a cultural arena to assert cricketing muscle, an emotional tool to soothe traditional enmity, …

Epilogue
In search of a football ground in twentieth century urban Bengal
This essay attempts to analyse the complex relationship between geography and Indian football. It contends that football ground/stadia development/re‐development, largely and continuously influenced by environmental factors such as weather patterns or nature of the local landscape, reflects the emotional attachment, social control, political design and economic transformation of the Indian nation, a factor given little importance in existing writ…

Sports History in India
This chapter is a modified and extended version of the paper I presented at an international conference on ‘Sport, Culture and Society in Modern India’ held in Calcutta University in 2003. I am delighted to offer it as a part of the effort to celebrate the achievements of Professor. J.A. Mangan, who has shaped the course of the development of sports studies in South Asia. His keynote address at the department of history, University of Calcutta, i…

Race, nation and sport
Football, one of the central components of twentieth-century Bengali popular culture, has generally been neglected by historians as unworthy of serious academic enquiry. This article examines the way in which football as a societal mirror reflected the articulation of race and nation in colonial Calcutta in a period of clearest nationalist upsurge against colonial rule. It attempts to explain how football as a mass spectator sport came to represe…
