b) HISTORY OF SPORTS IN NORTH EAST INDIA.

Since the beginning of time, human people have participated in a wide variety of pastimes for entertainment, the majority of which have consisted of participating in sporting events and playing games. Games and sports that have been played in a community or civilization for many years and have been passed down from one generation to the next are referred to as "traditional" or "old" games. The people who live in Northeast India have been playing a variety of traditional games for just as long as people have been living in other areas of the globe.

The following is a look at some old games that are being played with great gusto by the indigenous people of Northeast India today.

Dhop Khel

Northeast India plays Dhop Khel, sometimes called Dhup Khel and Dhoop Khel. Players take turns throwing the ball at their opponent to remove them from competition while trying to catch the ball and avoid being grabbed by other players. Historically, the ball was manufactured by laminating a tomato using banyan tree adhesive. Certain Northeast Indian tribes still use the tomato ball in ceremonies.

Ghila

North-Eastern Indians play the ancient game Ghila. A Ghila is tossed into one of five or six square boxes on the ground. First, the player places the Ghila in the right-hand box. The player moves the stone with one leg while lifting the other. The player must balance on one leg while leaping to remove the stones. In this round, the player's Ghila or leg must never touch the box border. If a player touches any of the lines, he's eliminated.

Kochu

Kochu is another Northeast Indian sport. Two teams compete. You'll need "Kochu Tepu" to play the game. Earth's surface nicks. Umpires oversee games. The umpire tells both teams to close their eyes before tossing the ball anywhere on the field. The player who finds the ball first must put it in the hole. The opposing team should fight the player's hole-in-one attempt. Whoever gets the ball in the hole first wins.

Jhandi Munda

Jhandi Munda is a street game. Langur Burja has been a part of family gatherings for years. Because it was invented there, the game is also popular among Northeast Indian indigenous peoples. Jhandi Munda uses six six-sided dice. Each die's six sides include Jhandi Munda symbols. Flag, Face, Club, Diamond, Spade, Crown. The player wagers on the symbol they think will appear most frequently (after all of them are shuffled and rolled).

Luka Vaku

Northeast India's rural children play this game. In Luka Vaku, one child is removed from the others and told to conceal his eyes. The remaining players take shelter in the allocated area. The assaulting player must then seek for hidden players. If he finds someone, that player is eliminated. One player wins if they find all the others. If a player can't find other players, he must declare defeat.
