It was aimed at the moral elevation and glory of the athletes themselves. The sporting events in ancient Greece were primarily bloodless contests. Athenians saw physical sport as a means of pursuing an ideal fusion between external beauty and nobility of the mind. The Roman Dominance As a result of Roman influence, the sacredness of sports – a common feature of gymnastic activity in Greece – was gradually replaced by an entertaining show and the desire for a bloody-thirsty thrill. 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...

What sets Shah apart from other politicians? 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.
