India. Everywhere we had been, wherever kids were playing on a sandlot, we were reminded that, however it may be in England, cricket is the national game of India. One of the odder legacies of the Raj. I thought.
After passing through the city of Anantnag (second in Kashmir, we were told), we stopped at a Hindu temple, which Mr. Nirash said was a popular object of pilgrimage. With its clear water flowing down through a series of stone tanks, it seemed to owe something to Islamic inspiration. In a corner of one tank, a man was bathing, giving himself a thorough scrub-down. In accordance with Indian custom, apparently. he was stripped down to his undcrshorts but kept them on. It fairly made our teeth chatter to sec him, as the day was far from warm.
