Behind the spectacle of entertainment, sport is a subject with
political issues at every level. These issues range from the
social, with divisions created along gender and class lines, to the
use of sport to pursue diplomatic and statecraft goals. In
addition, some sports are positioned and promoted as national
events both in public opinion and in the media. This book seeks to
explore some aspects of the notion of power in sport in south Asia
and among south Asians abroad. The first two chapters deal with the
internal societal dimensions of the politics of sport; the next
three relate to the politics inside the sporting world in the
subcontinent and its bridge with the broader arena of the society
through the media, while the last five relate to the use of sports
in statecraft, consensus building and international politics. This
book was based on two special issues of the International Journal
of the History of Sport.
