Question

i. 'Thoda' is a martial art form of Himachal Pradesh which relies on one's talent with the bow and arrow. The
name 'Thoda' is derived from the round piece of wood fixed to the head of the arrow. Its history can be traced
back to the days of Mahabharata when bows and arrows were used in the epic battles between the Pandavas
and the Kauravas.
ii. In Himachal Pradesh, in the olden days, the game of Thoda was organized in a very interesting way. A handful
of village folks would go to another village and throw tree leaves into the village well before sunrise. They
would then hide in the bushes nearby, just outside the village. As soon as the villagers came to draw water the
youths would shout and challenge them for a fight. Held on Baisakhi Day, the competition is a mixture of
martial art, cultural event and sport. Community prayers are organized to invoke the blessings of the Gods. The
archers are divided into teams called Saathi and Pashi.
iii. On reaching the village fairground, both the teams dance on either side of the ground. Both the opponents
face each other at a distance of about 10 meters and prepare to attack. The competition is conducted to the
lively rhythm of war dance with one side furiously sidestepping, legs kicking in all directions, and the other side
doing its best to place an arrow on the target. Presently, the game is played in a marked court, which ensures
that a certain degree of discipline is maintained.
A. On the basis of your reading of the above passage, make notes on it using headings and sub-headings. Use
recognizable abbreviations wherever necessary.
