Decolonisation and Sport
Decolonisation and Sport
Decolonisation and Sport : Decolonisation is the process through which difference parts of European empires became independ nations. It began with the independent nations. It began with the independence of India in 1947 and continued for the next half of century. This process led to the decline ot British influence in trade,commerce, military affairs, international politics and sports matter.
Sport is now mobilized as a novel and effective means of achieving international development goals, leading to an increasingly institutionalized relationship between sport and development. While there is recent evidence of the effectiveness of Sport for Development and Peace (SDP) programmes and policies, research has also drawn attention to the relations of power that underpin the movement and, in particular, to colonizing tendencies in SDP initiatives.
This article explores this critical research and considers it against the insights and importance of a development praxis concerned with decolonization. We argue that SDP scholars and activists would be well served to consider the main tenets of a decolonizing framework and we put forth some theoretical and methodological imperatives for decolonizing sport for development.
Even after the disappearance of the British colonies, the regulation of international cricker remained the business of the Imperial Cricket Cenference (ICC).
The Paris founded the First Indian Cricket club,the oriental Cricket Club ,in Bombay in 1848.Parsi Club were funded and sponsored by Parsi buisnessmen like the Tatas and Wadias.
The paris built their own Gymkhanato play cricket.A Parsi team built beat the Bombay Gymkhana at cricket 1889.
The eastablishment of the Parsi Gymkhana became a precedent for others Indians who in turn , establishment of clubs baseed on the Idea of relegious community.
Mahatma Gandhi condemned the pentangular tournament as a communally divisive competition that was out of place in a time when nationalist were trying to unite India's diverse population into a cohesive force which would strengthen the National movement.
In 1965, the ICC renamed the International Cricket Conference. But it was dominated by its foundation members, England and Australia which had the power. After 1989, the privileged position of England and Australia was taken away.
The colonial flavour of world cricker during 1950 and 1960s can be seen from the facr that England, Australia and New Zealand continued to play Test cricker with South Africa, a racist state where a policy of racial segregation is practised. Test-playing nations like India, Pakistan and the West Indies boycotted South Africa. English cricket authorities cancelled a tour by South Africa only in 1970 after the increasing political pressure to boycott the racist state.
