Abstract
All over the world, and therefore in India too, there
are two kinds of sports lovers; those that play and
those that watch. Given the nature of urban societies
around the world, it is inevitable that those that watch
greatly outnumber those that play. But in urban India,
with our congestion and consequent absence of open
spaces, and the extraordinary importance attached to
school- leaving marks, I would fear that the propor-
tion of watchers outnumbers the proportion of players
more significantly than in other parts of the world. It
has implications for the style industry, for the number
of those that want to look like sportspersons will also
be larger than those that want to play!
