here's some snaps for the laydeez Oh sheeeetttt can I get some?

You know, I'm objectified by the laydeez on a fairly regular basis, and all this ogling of half-nekkid kabaddi players doing questionable things to each other is making me feel extremely oppressed.

I'm insulted, offended even, by the shameless admiration of the male gender being perpetrated on this thread by some of our female commenters. Rrrrrampant heterosexuality on Sepia Mutiny. Absolutely shocking.

We need more pictures of Angelina Jolie and various hot Persian/Middle-Eastern women on this blog, by the way.

A similar, but more obscure, Indian sport is Atya Patya. AP is related to both kho-kho and kabaddi, but unlike those two it doesn't seem to have much traction at the organized level. I recall reading about it as a kid and then stumbling upon actual play while visiting family in Karol Bagh. (This was in the seventies.) However, the local kids did not know the correct name for it, calling it instead, "Badi Game".

Jane... @#40:#

Thanks. I think I get a clue but not convinced.

The reason (IMO) the US marines are playing Kabaddi is not that it teaches kabaddi players to be honest soldiers and save a fellow man (I guess this cliche has been borrowed from Black Hawk Down) but because its the sport Indians people (army people i.e.) play.

Sakshi @#38:

I didn't make claims that I know a lot about the army. If you know better, please tell me what value does knowing kabaddi bring to the Indian army ... or any army for that matter? Please try not to say fitness.

Thanks.

I guess it's you who's the phawking genious. The average US army-walla is sofa-king unfit... oh that's cos they don't do no kabaddi!!!

Yes, you're denifintly a genious. What next? Dipping the gun barrels in dhoodh-baadam for precision?
