Q.5.• The earliest recorded reference to X is found

in Someshvara Chalukya's classic Manasollasa (1135 AD). Originally X was used as a supporting exercise for wrestlers. Although known to have been practiced in medieval Maharashtra and Hyderabad, the sport didn't become visible in practice and well recorded until the 18th century when it was revived by Balambhatdada Deodhar, the fitness instructor of Peshwa Baji Rao II during the reign of the Peshwas. His student Balambhattdada Deodhar realized that only major grips can be developed with a pole and thus used cane instead. Today it is used more often as a performance art rather than a method of training.

NOT dowry!“. The game involves throwing various common household items like frying pans, rolling pins, broomsticks, and stiletto heels. In the game, players strike target grooms who demand a large dowry. Each hit lowers the amount demanded and if the player manages to bring the dowry to zero, they can proceed to the next level. The dowry-demanding grooms are portrayed as a doctor, an engineer or a pilot. The dowry demand starts at ₹ 1.5 millions (about US$30,000 or GBP18,000) and goes down with each successful hit.
