Revitalising indigenous sports in India: an examination of their impact on fostering social and character development of children

Islam-based Early Childhood Education (PAUD) plays a crucial role in shaping children's character and identity by integrating Islamic values with local culture. This study aims to analyze how Islamic values and local culture are incorporated into the PAUD curriculum, identify implementation strategies, and examine the challenges and opportunities involved. Additionally, it explores the impact of this integration on children's character and identity development while providing recommendations for educators and policymakers to enhance the effectiveness of Islam-based early childhood education. This research employs a literature study method, analyzing various sources related to the PAUD curriculum, Islamic values, and local culture. The data analysis approach includes data reduction, classification, and interpretation. The findings indicate that integrating Islamic values such as tawhid, noble character, and worship with local cultural values such as community cooperation (gotong royong), love for the homeland, and mutual respect can create a holistic and contextual curriculum. This curriculum not only supports children's intellectual development but also fosters strong character and a deep sense of identity. However, challenges arise in aligning local cultural values with Islamic teachings and addressing resource limitations, particularly among educators who may not fully grasp the concept of this integration. Despite these challenges, the integration of Islamic values and local culture positively impacts children's character development and strengthens community participation in the educational process. To address these challenges, this study recommends developing a more flexible curriculum and enhancing educator capacity. These efforts will contribute to producing a generation that is intelligent, of noble character, and deeply rooted in its cultural identity.

Historically, sports was merely seen as a recreational or leisure activity (Mandell, 1984). However, in recent centuries sports became a global, social and an economic activity (Mylik, 2014). Since the beginning of the twentieth century, sports industry has been growing at a fast pace (Forster & Pope, 2004). Today, sports is recognised as a soft power as it’s a global medium to improve diplomatic relations and to promote peace and prosperity (Beutler, 2008). Many indigenous and traditional sports are mentioned in several historic scriptures of India. Several local games have been practiced over centuries in India (Haque & Ghosh, 2014). Traditional and indigenous sports have served the purpose of channelizing youth's energy into constructive areas. Indigenous sports create a strong sense of belonging among the youth that can improve the well-being of tribal and backward communities (Rossi, 2015). It’s in this context that this study examines the scope of indigenous sports industry in India. It’s a remarkable achievement that many of India's indigenous sports have stood the test of time and continue to attract the youth even today. The development of such sports not only benefits the youth who participate in them, but also the Indian economy. Creation and utilization of sports infrastructure, employment generation and hosting sports events have positive economic impact on the long-term development of India. Hence, this study analysis in-depth about the various indigenous sports and their spread in India. It bridges the gap of lack of literature on indigenous sports in India.

Case overview/synopsis In July 2017, on the eve of Pro Kabaddi League (PKL) Season 5, kabaddi had emerged as one of India’s most important non-cricketing sport. PKL was India’s first men’s professional kabaddi league, introduced by Mashal Sports and Star India in 2014. Kabaddi was an indigenous sport, and India had an unbeaten international track record as world champions. Yet, the sport and its players had never received their due in India. In 2017, while kabaddi’s popularity had increased, leading to sponsorship opportunities, huge player bids, prize money and television viewership, all was not quite hunky-dory. A women’s kabaddi league introduced only the previous year had not been continued, despite an extended format in 2017. The audience profile also did not match that envisaged by Star. As a unique creator of sports content, Star was in an enviable position in India; and so was Kabaddi as a sport. How had Star created a new property around an indigenous sport with rural and rustic associations, transforming it into a snazzy, up-market sport within just three years, even while leagues involving other popular sports failed to create a mark? Could Star sustain this interest? How could kabaddi retain its “star” position within Star’s stable?

KPI is expected to be able to filter media activities (especially television) to suit the country's goals, norms, culture, customs, and of course religion.

A common problem in children's character education is how parents can communicate well, both with themselves and with their children in the digital era. Social media and technology often change the way families communicate, making it difficult for parents to engage in personal reflection and in-depth dialogue. In a digital environment that is fast and full of distractions, parents may find it difficult to implement consistent and effective communication techniques for their child's character development. This research uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method. Data was obtained from books, journals and proceedings via Google Scholar, and analyzed comprehensively to be presented in the form of scientific articles. The focus of this research is how interpersonal communication between parents and generation Z can be optimized for character education. The main finding of this research is that parents' interpersonal communication plays a very important role in optimizing the character education of Generation Z through various key strategies. First, by being a role model and providing concrete examples of values such as integrity and responsibility, parents can motivate children to imitate the positive behavior they observe. Second, open discussion and dialogue allow children to develop critical thinking skills and understand character values through a constructive exchange of ideas. Third, positive reinforcement and constructive feedback, such as praise and recognition, motivate children to continue to behave in accordance with the character values taught. Fourth, through interactions with educators and peers, children learn the importance of respecting others, working together, and contributing positively to their communities, as well as values such as empathy, justice, and social responsibility. Apart from that, it is important to apply several communication techniques, such as active listening and providing emotional support to build trust and strengthen relationships; the use of clear body language and assertive communication helps avoid miscommunication and ensures messages are conveyed well;, providing constructive feedback and asking open questions facilitates a child's understanding and growth; convey empathy and apply self-disclosure techniques, where parents share personal experiences, building openness and closeness. By integrating all of these techniques, parents can create communication that supports children's character development and well-being in a holistic and sustainable manner, ensuring they receive appropriate guidance to grow into quality individuals.
