This textbook designed for second semester UG Honours students provides a multidisciplinary lens to delve into the dynamic interplay of sports, literature, and cinema to uncover the layered subtexts of politics, gender, culture, and religion. Through a selection of critical essays, life writing, short stories, and films, the text explores how sports function as a powerful metaphor for grappling with issues such as nationalism, identity, globalisation, and socio-political realities. Simultaneously, it explores the entertaining, inspirational, and motivational dimensions of sports and their role in shaping narratives of resilience and hope.
