The present article is mainly concerned with Bengal, the first province to witness the rise of British Empire in India. The Bengalis were looked upon by the British as deficient in masculinity, yet ironically a large proportion of the Westernised bureaucrats through whom India was ruled were Bengali Clerks or Babus. They formed the prime example of effeminacy.2 It is very important to examine how this games ethic got injected into the veins of these ‘effeminate’ Babus. How much spontaneous or induced it was? What were the factors that played important role in the spread of games in Bengal? The study tries to highlight the various ways through which sporting culture circulated among the Bengalis. Instead of offering a monocausal explanation, it is important to underline the aspect of multiple causalities. In this article, weightage has been given to the efforts of Anglo-Indian schools and various colleges, such as Presidency College, Scottish Church, St. Paul’s College and St. Xavier’s College, in spreading the sports culture. After looking into various sources and college magazines, it can be concluded that much emphasis was given to the Western sports.

在孟加拉植入游戏伦理：殖民背景

本文主要关注孟加拉，这是第一个见证大英帝国在印度崛起的省份。英国人认为孟加拉人缺乏男子气概，但具有讽刺意味的是，统治印度的西化官僚中有很大一部分是孟加拉文员或巴布斯。他们形成了女性化的典型例子。2 研究这种游戏伦理如何注入这些“女性化”巴布斯的血管中是非常重要的。多少是自发的或诱发的？哪些因素对孟加拉游戏的传播起到了重要作用？该研究试图强调体育文化在孟加拉人之间传播的各种方式。重要的是强调多重因果关系的方面，而不是提供单一因果关系的解释。在本文中，英印学校和各种学院，如总统学院、苏格兰教会、圣保罗学院和圣泽维尔学院，在传播体育文化方面的努力得到了重视。在查阅了各种资料和大学杂志后，可以得出结论，西方体育受到了很多重视。
