Description: The video is a presentation on the history and social significance of games in the life of people of Bengal. The film takes the viewers on a playful journey across Bengal to Birbhum, Burdwan, Jalpaiguri and North 24 Parganas in search of these traditional games like the gadi, pittu, danguli and kori. The game of ha-du-du or kabbadi is played in groups of two. A rectangular court is divided into two parts by a horizontal line and the opposing teams stand on either sides of the line. The objective of the game is for a member of a team to enter the rival territory, touch any opponent and return back in a single breadth. This game is considered to be more than a thousand years old and is said to symbolically represent two shepherds or tribal groups inhabiting two different sides of a hill.
