SQUASH 14 Competition History: Squash The origins of squash are in the ancient game of real tennis. In the twelfth century in France boys and girls played ball games in the narrow streets of their villages. They slapped balls along the awnings or roofs that lined the street or into shop and door openings. Rules depended on local geography. Squash reached a tipping point in the twenties. Doubles began at the Racquet Club of Philadelphia in 1907 when Fred Tompkins, the tennis and rackets pro at the club, erected a forty-fi ve feet by twenty-fi ve court. Technology has forever shattered the inherent limitations of this racquet, ball and wall game. Racquets are much lighter and stronger today, making the game more exciting. The ball is now consistent throughout the world.

SQUASH 26 INDIA ndia is one of the oldest civilizations in the world with a kaleidoscopic variety Iand rich cultural heritage. It has achieved all-round socio-economic progress during the last 68 years of its Independence. India has become self-suffi cient in agricultural production and is now one of the top industrialized country in the world and one of the few nations to have gone into outer space to conquer nature for the benefi t of the people. As the 7th largest country in the world, India stands apart from the rest of Asia, marked off as it is by mountains and the sea, which give the country a distinct geographical entity. Bounded by the Great Himalayas in the north, it stretches southwards and at the Tropic of Cancer, tapers off into the Indian Ocean between the Bay of Bengal on the east and the Arabian Sea on the west.

Capital New Delhi Indian Standard Time GMT + 05:30 Area 3.3 Million sq. km Telephone Country Code +91 Border Countries Afghanistan and Pakistan to the north-west; , Bhutan and Nepal to the north; Myanmar to the east; and Bangladesh to the east of West Bengal. Sri Lanka is separated from India by a narrow channel of sea, formed by Palk Strait and the Gulf of Mannar. There are 29 States and 7 Union Territories in the country. From the largest to the smallest, each State/UT of India has a unique demography, history and culture, dress, festivals, languages etc. The National Flag is a horizontal tricolour of deep saff ron (kesaria) at the top, white in the middle, and dark green at the bottom in equal proportion.

SQUASH 27 VISITING NORTH EAST INDIA

eemed as ‘Paradise Unexplored’, the North East India – a region with suave Dhills, carpeted with greenery, makes it one of the most mystic and perhaps the most beautiful region of the country. A land, where the eastern tresses are weaved with magnifi cent mountains with the sun sprinkling its fi rst ray; the mighty Brahmaputra here gurgles from narrow to broad, while the rich wildlife meanders in the green pastures. Not to miss out, this enchanting destination also showcases the perfect bond formed by the tribal and racial affi nity. And this gives a glimpse to the matchless beauty and enigmatic appeal of North East India. Belonging to the eastern Himalayan belt and Brahmaputra plains, this region is known for its extremities as it covers the eastern frontiers of India with China, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Myanmar. This natural paradise is a blend of the eight sister states namely Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Sikkim. Popularly known as the gateway city to the Northeast India, Assam, one of the vibrant Northeastern states, is a verdant land with unparalleled serenity, a cache of fl ora and fauna and mesmerizing aroma of tea, which gives a divine

SQUASH 28 awakening to ones soul and the home of great one-horned rhino located in the famous world heritage site ‘Kaziranga National Park’ along with the other wildlife areas. One can also discover Assam visiting the world famous village of Sualkuchi also called the Silk Paradise. The state of Meghalaya, also known as ‘Abode of Clouds’, once the Summer Capital of the East India Company, stands out as a Cavers’ Paradise and magnifi cent waterfalls. Shillong, the capital of Meghalaya is famous for its music and scenic beauty.
