Sachalang Debbarma | Veswuto Swuro | Dr. Tariq Ahmad Sheikh

Abstract: The sports culture is a positive attitude toward a person's participation in sports activity. It involves preserving and developing those versions, functions, and components that are related to the game. Sports culture refers to the positive attitude that people have toward participating in a game or social activity. It involves developing and preserving the various components and functions of the game. Sports activities are based on the concept of ideals, senses, norms, and examples of behavior, which are used to define the character and orientation of participants. The sports culture is the basis of a person's positive attitude to sports, which is interiorized by the standards and norms of the culture that are connected with it. Aside from being one of the biggest countries in the world, India also has a large number of people. It is also known for its indigenous games such as khokho and guilli-danda. There are also a few board games in the country that are believed to be related to chess. Contemporary games, however, have overtaken the Indian sports culture, with cricket being the most popular. Since 1951, India has been hosting various international sporting events, such as the Asian Games and the Cricket World Cup. It has also participated in the Olympic Games since 1900.
