One
of the legacies left behind by the British -much like
cricket and hockey - is Polo.
Much
like these two games. Polo owes its origin to the
British, even though it was first played in India.
An
erstwhile passion of the royal families - some, like
the former ruler of Udaipur, still patronise it -
the game is now largely a preserve of the men in uniform,
played in metres and cantonment lawns.
Matches
are usually organised in the winter season, details
of which can be obtained from local dailies or race
courses.
