  • Androcentrism in Indian Sports
    Journal of Xi'an University of Architecture & Technology Issn No : 1006-7930 Androcentrism in Indian sports Bijit Das [email protected] Ph.D. Research Scholar, Department of Sociology Dibrugarh University Dibrugarh, Assam, India 786004 Abstract The personality of every individual concerning caste, creed, religion, gender in India depends on the structures of society. The society acts as a ladder in diffusing stereotypes from generation to generation which becomes a fundamental constructed ideal type for generalizing ideas on what is masculine or feminine. The gynocentric and androcentric division of labor in terms of work gives more potential for females in household works but not as the position of males. This paper is more concentrated on the biases of women in terms of sports and games which are male- dominated throughout the globe. The researcher looks at the growing stereotypes upon Indian sports as portrayed in various Indian cinemas. Content analysis is carried out on the movies Dangal and Chak de India to portray the prejudices shown by the Indian media. A total of five non-fictional sports movies are made in India in the name of Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013), Paan Singh Tomar(2012), MS Dhoni: An untold story(2016), Azhar(2016), Sachin: A billion dreams(26 May 2017) are on male sportsperson whereas only two movies are on women, namely Mary Kom (2014), Dangal(2017). This indicates that male preference is more than female in Indian media concerning any sports. The acquaintance of males in every sphere of life is being carried out from ancient to modern societies. This paper will widen the perspectives of not viewing society per media but to the independence and equity of both the sex in every sphere of life.

  • M.S Dhoni's Warning to Team After Victory Against Pakistan MOHALI
    M.S Dhoni's warning to team after victory against Pakistan MOHALI: India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni warned his team to ignore the hype and national hysteria that will dominate the frenetic build-up to Saturday's World Cup final against Sri Lanka. India, riding a wave of patriotic emotion, swept past arch-rivals Pakistan by 29 runs in Wednesday's highly-charged semi-final and will aim for a second world title in Mumbai to add to their 1983 triumph. "There'll be plenty of things happening around us, like in this game, but what's important is not to get distracted. We all know what our jobs our as professional cricketers so we'll stick to that," insisted Dhoni. "Sri Lanka are a very good side and they have done really well so far in the tournament. "The format's really helped us. We had quite a few close games where the youngsters were really tested at the crease. I think slowly they're getting into the groove." India made 260 for nine against Pakistan after Dhoni won the toss, a total that owed much to man of the match Sachin Tendulkar's fortuitous 85 with the superstar batsman dropped four times. But the India bowling attack, seen by some as the team's weak link, then proved its worth with all five members taking two wickets apiece. Recalled left-arm quick Ashish Nehra led the way with two for 33 as Pakistan were dismissed for 231. "I felt after the end of the first innings 260 was a good score, I wouldn't say it was a safe score because it was important not to give away too many runs with the new ball," added the captain.
