Gillī Ḍaṇḍā : “Vedic” Sports? Authors at Play Depictions of Batting Games in Hindī Literature Word count: 25,888 Philippe Lauwers Student number: 19900736 Supervisor: Prof. Dr. Eva De Clercq A dissertation submitted to Ghent University in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Eastern Languages and Cultures: India Academic year: 2018 – 2019 Authors at Play: Depictions of Batting Games in Hindī Literature Acknowledgements This paper marks the end of a fulfilling period of study. Over time, I have noticed that one does not simply acquire a degree all by oneself. Success in such an endeavour requires the patience, energy and inspiration the people around you have to offer. As such, this task is the perfect occasion to dwell upon those who stood by my side. First of all, I would like to thank my wife An Mertens without whom, I would not have had the opportunity to go back to university at a moment this seemed rash or illogical to many. In addition, prof. Dr. Eva De Clercq and her team provided much of the material that made this period so interesting. Furthermore, they were always willing to answer questions or give feedback. My thoughts go out to Tillo Detige in particular for his kind and reassuring words the moments I started to doubt myself. On a more practical note, I would like to thank Ramesh Rishikalp and prof. Raj Kumar for their help in my search for suitable texts. Last of all, I look back at the pleasant evening I spent with Mrs. Neha Sharad, daughter of the late Sharad Joshi, in Mumbai. I would like to thank her for the kind invitation and for providing me with a number of books from your personal archives. i Authors at Play: Depictions of Batting Games in Hindī Literature Table of Contents Acknowledgements ..................................................................................................................... i Table of Contents ....................................................................................................................... ii Nederlandse samenvatting ......................................................................................................... iv Authors at Play ........................................................................................................................... 1 The Art of Reading Modern Hindī Literature ............................................................................ 4 The novel as the essence of modern literature ........................................................................ 4 The Novelisation of Hindī literature ....................................................................................... 5 The Hindī saṃskāra ............................................................................................................ 5 Social reform ....................................................................................................................... 7 The Progressive Writers’ Association................................................................................. 8 Language, literature and identity ...................................................................................... 10 Indian literature after Independece ................................................................................... 12 From Novel to Short Story ................................................................................................... 13 Reading literary texts ............................................................................................................ 16 Playing in India ........................................................................................................................ 17 Epic heroes: playing in earnestness ...................................................................................... 18 Pre-colonial India: functional stories of functional games ................................................... 19 Batting games ....................................................................................................................... 21 Gillī Ḍaṇḍā : “Vedic” Sports?

Sport, als georganiseerde en gereguleerde vorm van spel, wordt gevormd door de maatschappij maar heeft op zijn beurt een eigen invloed op de maatschappij. Het doel van deze paper is na te gaan hoe auteurs gillī ḍaṇḍā en cricket als motief gebruik om commentaar te geven op de maatschappij waarin ze beoefend worden. Om dit te onderzoeken, overdenk ik in eerste instantie het idee van Indische literatuur. Vervolgens breng ik het belang van gillī ḍaṇḍā en cricket in kaart om tenslotte over te gaan tot de analyse van enkele literaire teksten. De verhalen die geanalyseerd zullen worden zijn Gullī Ḍaṇḍā en Cricket Match van Premchand, drie columns die Sharad Joshi schreef over Gavaskar en het verhaal Spel (Khel)van de onbekende auteur Abhishek Kashyap. Indische literatuur Twintigste-eeuwse Indische literatuur wordt sterk beïnvloed door de eigen voorgeschiedenis – die teruggaat tot de Veda’s en epische literatuur enerzijds en de westerse traditie van moderne literatuur. Bakhtin en Lukács maakten beiden een vergelijkende studie van (westerse) epische literatuur en de roman als vorm van moderne literatuur. In deze visies is het epos een gesloten tekst die niet in interactie staat met de omgeving

  • 'It's Part of Who I Am'
    ‘It’s part of who I am’: Tā’aloga ma fa’asinomaga ma fa’aSāmoa - Sport, identity, and culture in the lives of Samoan-New Zealanders Joshua Connolly A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Cultural Anthropology 2018 Abstract Samoan-New Zealanders have become increasingly prominent within New Zealand sport since the mid-20th century. Despite the apparent desirability of players with Pacific Island heritage their presence is also met with resistance and apprehension in both professional and amateur settings. Discourse that frames the relationship between Samoan-New Zealanders and sport often does so in terms that rely on stereotypes and the naturalisation of sporting ability and participation suggesting that they are ‘built’ for sport. This thesis offers a counternarrative to such discourse exploring the ways in which sport, particularly rugby, is a culturally embedded practice for Samoan-New Zealanders. I argue that for Samoan-New Zealanders sport exists as an example of Marcel Mauss’s fait social total or Total Social Phenomenon (TSP) by virtue of the range of cultural institutions and practices that find expression within it. As such it is deeply and uniquely immersed within the fa’aSāmoa or Samoan culture. This thesis is based on seven months of ethnographic fieldworK, participant observation, and talanoa conducted in Wellington, New Zealand. It seeKs to explore the ways in which sport is a culturally embedded practice as a means of interrogating the notion that Samoan-New Zealanders are ‘born to play sport’. i Acknowledgements There is no conceivable way this thesis would have been completed without the support of phenomenal people.

  • The Territorialisation of Temporarily Exposed English Sandbanks For
    Journal of Marine and Island Cultures, v6n1 — Hayward Gaming e Tide: e territorialisation of temporarily exposed English sandbanks for social cricket events Philip Hayward University of Technology Sydney, and Southern Cross University, Australia [email protected] Publication Information: Received 16 March 2017, Accepted 21 June 2017, Available online 28 June 2017 doi: 10.21463/jmic.2017.06.1.01 Abstract Over the last 200 years a number of sandbanks that rise above the surface of the sea or river estuaries for brief periods during low tide points have been site of cricket matches organised by teams based in adjacent coastal areas. The most regular locations for such performances have been the Goodwin Sands (an area of sandbanks located in the English Channel, close to the coast of the English county of Kent) and the Bramble Bank in the Solent. Other locations, such as banks in the River Tamar, have also seen one-off events of this kind. The article identifies these sports occasions as constituting particular forms of temporary territorialisations of space that adapt aspects of the game for the conditions of rapidly changing locations. The annual matches provide an example of the human rendition of spaces as temporary island neighbourhoods, the ephemerality of which is key to their attraction and meaning. Notably, they also involve a return to conventions of traditionally recognised ‘fair play’ in cricket that have significantly diminished in the modern form of the game. In this manner, the temporary spaces of the sandbanks allow for a revival of customs that relate to earlier participatory performance traditions and allow these to be re-affirmed.

This unique series combines aspects of the expanding study of sport in the global society, providing comprehensiveness and comparison under one editorial umbrella. It is particularly timely, with studies in the political, cultural, anthropological, ethnographic, social, economic, geographical and aesthetic elements of sport proliferating in institutions of higher education. Eric Hobsbawm once called sport one of the most significant practices of the late nineteenth century. Its significance was even more marked in the late twentieth century and will continue to grow in importance into the new millennium as the world develops into a ‘global village’ sharing the English language, technology and sport.
