This series aims to further our understanding of the origins, dealings, decisions, and outcomes of social movements by fostering dialogue among many traditions of thought, across European nations and across continents. All theoretical perspectives are welcome. Books in the series typically combine theory with empirical research, dealing with various types of mobilization, from neighborhood groups to revolutions. We especially welcome work that synthesizes or compares different approaches to social movements, such as cultural and structural traditions, micro- and macro-social, economic and ideal, or qualitative and quantitative. Books in the series will be published in English. One goal is to encourage non- native speakers to introduce their work to Anglophone audiences. Another is to maximize accessibility: all books will be available in open access within a year after printed publication. Series Editors Jan Willem Duyvendak is professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam. James M. Jasper teaches at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

  • Future of Sports Education, What Is Necessary to Transform India Into a Sports Superpower by Maj Gen AK Chaturvedi, AVSM, VSM
    Future of Sports Education, what is Necessary to Transform India into a Sports Superpower By Maj Gen AK Chaturvedi, AVSM, VSM “Every human being has a fundamental right of access to physical education and sport, which are essential for the full development of his personality. The freedom to develop physical, intellectual and moral powers through physical education and sport must be guaranteed both within the educational system and in other aspects of social life.” -The International Charter of Physical Education and Sport, UNESCO, 1978 Introduction Sports is generally a common thread that binds people together and helps in developing a feeling of patriotism and unity that can counter regional factionalism and sinister design of various separatist forces. Sports has a huge role to play when it comes to nation-building as it helps in elevating qualities like discipline, determination, teamwork and a passion for fitness in the psyche of a nation. In post-independence period India had been busy with many other problems, but time is ripe that the Country decides to work on achieving excellence in Sports. It is interesting to note that first Gold in Olympic Games which India won; was way back in 1928 in Hockey. This was won by sheer excellence of Late Maj Dhyan Chand and other members of the Team and credit is totally to the dedication, sincerity and hard work of the Team. Similarly first individual medal; a Bronze; by an Indian was won in an Olympic games; was by Norman Pritchard in 1900. Both these wins flag one issue; that India indeed had a love for sports and people worked hard despite very minimal organisational support.
