About A Social History of Indian Football

Covering the period 1850-2004, this book considers soccer as a derivative sport, imaginatively adapted to suit modern Indian socio-cultural needs and designed to fulfil political imperatives and satisfy economic aspirations. It also deals with the appropriation, assimilation and subversion of sporting ideals in colonial and post-colonial India.
