Kabbadi: Holding Breath

Kabbadi is a contact sport where holding breath matters. Two teams gather opposite each other, their territories marked by a dividing line drawn on the soil. One player, the 'raider', enters the other team's territory, chanting 'kabbadi, kabbadi', their purpose to tag as many defenders, or players of the opposite team as they can, and make it to the dividing line without being tackled by defenders. It is mandatory for the raider to keep on chanting and make it to the dividing line in a single breath. The raider scores a point for each tag. The defenders earn a point if they can successfully tackle the raider. 

This image tells the story of R. L. Srinivasan, a Kabbadi coach and a fisherman, heads the fishing cooperative and mobilized a six-village committee to file a petition to the National Green Tribunal, asking for health studies to be conducted in Ennore. 

Ennore, a neighborhood in Chennai, is bounded by two thermal power plants, two major ports, a coal terminal, a petroleum refinery, ash ponds, and leaking natural gas pipelines.

R.L. Srinivasan's petition has been granted.
