Question

why was there a strife between bombay gymkhana and parsi criketers and whatwere the consequences

Answer 1

• A squabble between the Bombay Gymkhana, a club of only whites, and Parsi cricketers cropped up over the use of a public park.
• The Parsis complained about the bad condition of the park as the polo ponies of the Bombay Gymkhana dug up the surface.
• When it was obvious that the colonial authorities were biased against the Parsis, they built their own gymkhana to play cricket in.
• Consequently, this rivalry led to the establishment of the first non-white cricket club of India by the Parsis, the Oriental Cricket Club in Bombay in 1848.
