In Ancient Rome, sport was popular and widespread, thrilling and entertaining. The Roman concept of sport was completely different from that of their Greek neighbors and their  Olympic Games . Sport to the Romans was a spectacular means of bloody entertainment, as opposed to the Athenians, where it was seen in a more spiritual way. It was aimed at the moral elevation and glory of the athletes themselves. The sporting events in ancient Greece were primarily bloodless contests.

Although the sports practiced in Rome also included those from the well-established Greek Olympics, the only sports that gained unanimous popularity were the most...

Electoral astuteness is certainly the most critical determinant in his politics but more than that, commitment to ideology (vichardhara), value of workers (karyakarta) and sanctity of workplace (karyalaya) are three of Shah’s key attributes that make him stand out. When Shah was very young, his parents engaged teachers to ensure that he learnt India’s history. Mahatma Gandhi’s political thought and Bhagwat Puran are two big influences that shaped his thinking early in life from his mother, who was herself a Gandhian.
