    Langdi

    Langdi was a script commonly used by traders used to write Haryanvi, Punjabi,
    or Saraiki in the Indian subcontinent .[1] Bookkeepers, known as munīm
    (Hindi: मुनीम, Urdu: ‫منیم‬ ُ), would also keep records in this script.[1]
    Some scholars have claimed that Langdi is a form of Mahajani for writing in parts
    of Haryana. Its proper connection must be more thoroughly explored.[2]
    Langdi is a traditional Indian field sport played in Pandiyan Dynasty called
    "Nondiyaattam" , similar to hopscotch.[1] It is described by Marathis as a sport
    with a Marathi ethos.[2]
    Langdi is considered to be useful in training for sports like kho
    kho, volleyball and gymnastics.[3] The National Langdi Federation received
    national recognition in 2010.[4] Langdi in Maharashtra is a popular childhood
    pastime, it is described as the foundation of all sports. Suresh Gandhi, Secretary
    of Langdi Federation of India acknowledges playing langdi isn't financially
    rewarding. Stake holders have to arrange for funds out of their own
    resources.[2] Mumbai University will be the first Indian university to introduce
    langdi at the college level, for female students thus revitalising the traditional
    sport. 5 lakh female students study in the university in 700 colleges affiliated to
    it.[5]C. N. Vidyamandir a school in Ahmedabad encourages participation in
    traditional sports such as langdi, these cost less money to play and are mentally
    and physically refreshing for children addicted to the electronic media and
    games.[6] According to Mahesh Vichare writing in Maharashtra Times, English
    medium schools, both secular and those run by Christian institutions,
    in Mumbai, tend to neglect traditional sports like langdi.[7]Chauhan, national
    president of Krida Bharati, has stressed that the organisation would endeavour
    to revitalise traditional sports like langdi in order to create healthy
    youngsters.[8] Krida bharati is an organisation that promotes sport in
    India.[9] According to Arun Deshmukh, recognition from the Indian Olympic
    Association is in the pipeline. This recognition results in facilities like
    concessional railway travel being made available, thus ensuring in growth of the
    sport.[2]
    The rules of this sport have been standardised by the Akhil Maharashtra
    Sharirik Shikshan Mandal.[10]
    Langdi is a team sport between two sides, played 12 players a side, and an
    additional three extra players. A match lasts 36 minutes. It is played in four
    innings of nine minutes each. The team that wins the toss defends. The chasing
    team sends chasers who hop on one foot and try to tag the defenders. The chasers
    can step out of the ground as long as they keep on one foot. The defenders are
    declared out if they step out of the ground or commit a line fault. The team that
    tags most defenders is declared the winner.[2]
