		LAHORE - Pehlwan, a 35-year-old rickshaw driver, once again lost his 15 days saving of Rs 750 on Tuesday in Parchi gambling, a sort of malaise of contagious nature which has gripped the city and various other places in the province as well, in collusion with the law enforcement agencies.
		Father of five, Pehlwan, despite disenchantment he suffered after watching the lucky draw of Rs 7,500 prize bond Tuesday night was hopeful that the day was not far away when he would bag the biggest prize by guessing about the exact lucky number.
		Pehlwan earns at least Rs 250 per day by plying his rickshaw in the provincial capital for 12 to 14 hours.

		Interestingly, Laloo Pehlwan was a key witness in last year’s killing of his friend, Dewender alias Kala Pehlwan, who had been allegedly shot dead by the former Chief Minister’s nephew, Neeraj, and one Pawan in a case involving rivalry in the real estate business earlier this year.
		The connections of the deceased and the very fact that he was an active member of a political party and was later adopted by yet another political party which is an alliance partner in the Centre’s ruling coalition throws light on the alarming rise of criminality in political circles, cutting across party lines.
		The Congress, while reacting to the death of the Samata Party candidate in Nangloi, alleged that with the BJP having reached an electoral alliance with Om Prakash Chautala’s Indian National Lok Dal for the November 25 poll, there was apprehension of "Meham type" violence both in Delhi and Rajasthan.

		But even if these few pehlwans take their sport seriously it would be difficult to say the same of the government.
		The pehlwans have made repeated appeals to the government to allot them a stadium of their own but little has come of it so far.
		Other pehlwans, who are not fortunate enough to get support from any of these organisations, try balancing pehlwani with daily jobs.

	The Hindu : Gang war takes a new turn
		The bloody war between the Anoop-Balraj and Kishan Pehlwan gangs which has been going on for the past decade has taken another new turn as the Kishan Pehlwan gang seems to have established itself in Haryana allegedly under the patronage of some local political forces.

		My friend Rasheed Toru thought he was being funny when he walked into the Government College fruit shop and asked Pehlwan jee for a glass of banana juice.
		Pehlwan Jee, one of the gentlest souls in the world, instantly, without stopping to ponder for a second over the irrational demand, disrobed a couple of ripe bananas, put them in a Gujranwala manufactured juicer, adding a generous helping of crushed ice.
		When the ingredients had been churned to satisfaction, he emptied the white goo in a glass and courteously presented it to Toru, not forgetting to first insert two pink straws.

		Twenty years ago at the famed Bamma Pehlwan's akhara (the pit where pehlwans practice), there used to be several hundred men training in the sport at any one time.
		But now their numbers have dwindled to barely 20 as no more than a few loyalists struggle to keep the sport alive.
