Dbq: Cricket and Politics Rough Draft

When examining the birth between cricket and politics In South Asia from 1880 to 2005, there was frequently continuity and change. A significant continuity was that as in document 3, first it was the hunter, the missionary, the merchant, next the soldier and the politician, and then the merchant. It was said by Cecil Headlam that this was the chronicle of British colonization. As this continued cricket brought together the rulers and the ruled, which continued to educate things more moral.A significant change is that politically India and Europe didnt real get along so in Document 6 and the Natore XI defeated European teams that had such pride. Also in document 2, Prince Ranjiitsinhji would fall down to England to join the Sussex team, but will return to India as head of an position team and then return as a head of an Indian team. It shows how politics changed things in India as well in England were cricket brought mass of different religions and politics together over tim e.Most of the documents I could find umteen great continuities between politics and cricket, cricket seemed to bring more commonwealth together of different backgrounds from competitively to just the farinaceous itself. Since the early 1900s cricket united the citizenry of a supreme power to its followers. The gamy since then to 2005 put the politics to the side and taught people morals, self-restraint, and yet facts of life in pluck. Cricket was far more valuable, this helped to continue the history of the British colonization (Doc. ). Also cricket has many lessons in other(a)s walks of life not just in India or even Britain, but there continues to be a lesson. In the game there was always a alliance to the other players because they all came to play the same game (Doc. 6). In the 1940s the Hindu cricket club requested Mohandas Gandhi for his support in keep religiously based cricket competitions, to Gandhi the continuation of religious based teams were un-sportsman like. The bring of government changed who played the game of cricket and now challenged each others religion instead of the game. (Doc. 8). The game of cricket has been looked upon as not of an elite sport. Also problems were seen mostly in class systems in Docs. 2, 3, and 4. In Doc. 2 Prince Ranjiitsinhji was able to join a team in Britain, were Britains looked down to Indians. In Doc. 3, In England a English writer byword the game of cricket as a uniting tool, but if this came from an Indian historian things could be seen differently.It seems that the English always tried to make the game of cricket full of unity, but I feel as if the Indians would discord with many things the English had put out over the years, in which India posterior on became independent. In Doc. 4 there was more of a perceive of equality between the clubs in India, they seemed to be able to ignore the caste and focus on the true game of cricket. If it wasnt for cricket the people of the different classes woul d look down on the lower classes or even the lower classes would not like the others.
