A paper published in the International journal of Management and applied sciences on physical literacy in an Indian context that links the desirable attributes of physical literacy to the ethos of India by drawing strength from its rich cultural heritage of dance and yoga, rather than restrict the scope of physical activity to only sports. Further, the non-cartesian way of viewing life that is naturally prevalent in most Indians due to the social beliefs, adds to the ability to provide nuanced approaches to inculcate the spirit of physical literacy in children and adults as a personal responsibility of respect to body and self. This paper proposes a theoretical foundation towards an Indian approach to physical literacy.
