Book Summary of Sport in South Asian Society: Past and Present
Drawing inspiration from C.L.R. James` well-known epigram, "What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?" the book suggests that South Asian sports make sense only when placed within the broader colonial and post colonial context. It demonstrates that sports not only influence politics and vice versa, but that the two are inseparable. Sports are not only political; they are politics, intrigue, culture, and art. To deny this is to denigrate the position of sports in modern South Asian society.
This volume was previously published as a special issue of the journal "Sport in the Global Society."isbn
