Abstract	Sports have played a significant role in shaping the perception of Indian society throughout history. From ancient origins where physical activities were valued as a part of cultural traditions to the influence of British colonialism introducing modern sports, India's sporting landscape has evolved and adapted to diverse cultural influences. This article explores the cultural significance of sports in India, emphasizing its historical journey and the impact of various eras on the nation's sporting ethos. Examining the present state of Indian sports, the article addresses the challenges faced by the nation, including inadequate infrastructure, gender biases, and commercialization, which hinder the growth of sports at the grassroots level. Despite these challenges, there is hope for a brighter future, as the government and other stakeholders invest in initiatives like 'Khelo India' to promote sports and identify talent from a young age.
