Wrestlers of different faiths united
Times of India
HYDERABAD: At a time when communal tensions are being constantly flayed in the Old City, Barkas has put up a display of communal harmony through the spirit of sportsmanship at the two-day wrestling event that concluded on Sunday.
About 150 wrestlers from the city grappled for the title of 'Hyderabad Kesari' at a wrestling tournament that the people of Barkas have been organizing for the past 13 years under the aegis of Samaj Sewak association. Though most participants were from the Muslim community, about 40 Hindu wrestlers from Lal Darwaza, Uppuguda and Begum Bazaar also grappled at the arena. Amidst a highly spirited audience they clashed while being mindful of the fact that sportsmanship matters more than anything else.
Osman al Hajri, a yesteryear wrestler and coach, said that wrestling bouts can turn very sensitive but nothing can go wrong if the wrestlers themselves don't get carried away. "Wrestling is a highly competitive sport but wrestlers at all times remain grounded. They wipe sweat off each others' body. But it is those who are outside the ring who can make trouble. The wrestlers do not bear any ill-will against each other," he said.
The scene at the Barkas football ground on Sunday was a testimonial to their commitment to communal harmony. Noted wrestlers of the past from both communities entered the ring to congratulate the winners and honour their victory. Organizers of the tournament said that wrestlers from different faiths are united by the sport.
"When a wrestler enters the ring he assesses his opponent with an aim to win. It does not matter to him what faith his opponent belongs to. Unlike common people from different faiths who may not have a bonding factor, wrestlers are bound by the sport. Respect and appreciation for the opponent is one of the most important lessons we learn," said Khaleed Bhamas, one of the organizers of the tournament.
Young wrestlers only voiced what their seniors said. "When we train, we only see the quality of our teacher. Many of us come to fight and train under Muslim coaches in areas like Barkas and Yakutpura. We are like any other student for our teachers. When we fight we represent our akhada and our teacher. Their reputation rides on our shoulders, reminding us that we are sportsmen," said 18 year-old wrestler Pawan Kumar.

Hyderabad Bal Kesari
Times of India
HYDERABAD: Young lads who eagerly participated in the two-day wrestling tournament held at Barkas reflected the fondness for the sport still exists in the Old City. About 35 young boys, aged between 9 and 14, wrestled for the title of Hyderabad Bal Kesari at the event that concluded on Friday. The youngsters participated in the 35-40 kg weight category.
Hailing from different parts of the Old City, the young wrestlers are the gen-next torch bearers of the sport, say the organizers. However the boys say that they are in it purely for the love of the sport.
"I love cricket and football but it is wrestling that I would like to pursue as a career," says 13-year-old Usama Bamas. Bamas is aware of the hardship the sport involves. "We are made to train for three hours everyday. We are also advised to take care of diet, that essentially includes proteins, " he says.
Fourteen-year-old Abubakr bin Abdullah is another promising wrestler from Barkas. He says that wrestling is in his blood as the men in his family have been wrestlers. "Wrestling gives a thrill that other sports do not. Though there is risk of injury, I would not want to give it up," says Abubakr. When asked if wrestling allows for normal schooling, Abubakr laughs it off. "I am amongst the first five rankers in my class."
"At our akhada, we have about 50 children who are below the age of 14. Training has to start before the body loses its flexibility. Of the young wrestlers we have, at least 15 of them can make it big if they are given proper training," says Khaled Bamas, one of the organizers.
