This region of South Asia produces BIG boys, who maybe typically Jatts (not Jats, as in a Hindu caste from Haryana). They also do wrestling, and the wrestlers are called "pellwaans" or "pehlwans", which is cognate with the Iranian word "Parthian", since it was introduced by Parthians, according to Wiki (although take this with a grain of namak, since we know that there are a lot of revisionists on that site). I am under the impression that Indians in general make great wrestlers. I'm sure that if we cultivate this within India, Indians would or could dominate Olympic wrestling. The skill set behind wrestling and kabbadi overlap a lot.</p> Hello guys,
