They are Gatka, Kalaripayattu, Thang-Ta, and Mallakhamba. Kiren Rijiju, India\u2019s Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, aims to preserve, promote, and celebrate our indigenous sports. With this, he points at adding more games that portray indigeneity. He believes that there is no better event than <\/span>KIYG<\/b> to showcase native talent. It is a moment of pride for the entire nation as different parts of the country come together through these skillful games.
