Detailed Description

The thesis Games without Frontiers by Mr. Aki Jarvinen was given to me by Prof. Uday Athavankar. In this report I have tried to analyse traditional Indian games by applying the analysis template proposed by Mr. Aki Jarvinen. This report is in 2 parts. In the first part I tried to elaborate, to the best of my understanding, the definitions of each component of the analysis template. In the 2nd part I tried to analyse games which were a result of numerous interviews conducted by me in different regions like West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Jammu. The objective of this report is to find if the Library of Mechanics proposed by Mr. Aki Jarvinen is sufficient for Indian Games.
