India is indeed a unique country where tradition and modernity co-exist without much difficulty.

This holds true in the sports field too. Alongside history, culture & arts India has thrived

in the fields of different sports. Cricket, hockey, tennis, shooting, archery and a host of other

contemporary sports are played in the country. If on the one hand there is great passion for the

very Brit cricket, there is equal interest in homegrown games like kho-kho, gilli-danda, and

kabaddi. Besides this, there are other popular games like pithu, marbles andchhon-chhupai (Hide

and Seek) which children play in their homes and on the streets. Traditional games play important

role in developing sports skills in every human being.

Indian to win an individual gold medal at the Olympic Games, and India's first gold

medal since 1980, when the men's field hockey team won the gold.India is remarkable among nations for having won very few Olympic medals,

despite a population exceeding one billion, around half of them under the age of 25.

Numerous explanations have been offered for the dearth, including

poverty, malnutrition etc.

one medal)
