Description

Most historical accounts of the Olympic movement treat India's contribution as a small footnote. This book by Routledge serves as a necessary corrective to that narrative. By using newly available and previously unused archival sources, the text proves that India acted as a major strategic outpost for the Olympic movement during its rise as a global phenomenon at the start of the twentieth century. Readers will gain a deep understanding of how Olympic ideology established itself in India and the specific roles played by early figures in the movement. The book explores how certain individuals used Olympic sport to advance their own political goals. It also examines the historical factors behind India's performance and its place in the global sporting landscape. This work is an essential resource for those studying the intersection of sport, culture, and society.
