Afghan National Sport
Afghan National
Sport (Buzkashi)
Buzkashi, which literally translated means "goat grabbing" is the national
sport of Afghanistan. Many historians believe that Buzkashi began with the
Turkic-Mongol people, and it is indigenously shared by the people of
Northern Afghanistan. There are two main types of Buzkashi, Tudabarai and
Qarajai. Tudabarai is relatively simple compared with Qarajai, even though
they share similar objectives.
In Buzkashi, a headless carcass is placed in the center of a circle and
surrounded by the players of two opposing teams. The object of the game,
is to get control of the carcass and bring it to the scoring area.
Although it seems like a simple task, it is not. Only the most masterful
players, (called chapandaz) ever even get close to the carcass. The
competition is fierce, and the winner of a match receives prizes that have
been donated by a sponsor. These prizes range from money, to fine turbans
and clothes. In order for someone to become a chapandaz, one must undergo
a tremendous amount of difficult training. In fact, the best chapandaz,
are usually over the age of forty. Buzkashi, is definitely not a game for
the weak.
The players are not the only ones who undergo arduous training; the
horses that participate in buzkashi must train for five years before ever
making it to the playing field. Buzkashi, is indeed a dangerous sport, but
intensive training and excellent communication between the horse and rider
can help minimize the risk of injury.
The
different types of Buzkashi: Tudabarai & Qarajai
In Tudabarai, in order to score, the rider must obtain possession of
the carcass and then carry it away from the starting circle in any
direction. The rider must stay free and clear of the other riders.
In Qarajai, the task is much more complex. The player must carry the
calf around a marker, and then return the carcass to the team's designated
scoring circle.
In each version of the game, points are awarded for successfully
completing the task of getting control of the carcass, and getting it to
the proper scoring area. The winner of each match receives prizes which
have been put up by a sponsor. The top prizes are usually money, or fine
clothes.
To many Afghans, Buzkashi is not just a game, it is a way of life; a
way in which teamwork and communication are essential to being successful.
