Bab 565: After Effects of Integration 1

25th August 1658

Nearly a month has passed since the week-long Aikyotsava festival had ended. During the week, various sports competition finals and semifinals were held in all sorts of sports, ranging from track and field events like sprints, long jump, shot put, and others, as well as team events like cricket, football, kabaddi, and kho-kho. After all the events ended nearly a month ago, the aftereffects were noticed almost immediately.

The people of the empire, particularly those who had directly witnessed the sports events or read about them in the newspaper, understood the significance of sports to the empire and its importance in the heart of His Majesty for the first time, as everyone could see that he had not missed a single day and attended all events.
