This comprehensive study examines Lathi Khela through its historical development and philosophical foundations. The work begins by tracing the martial art's origins from prehistoric Bengal through its evolution in agricultural communities to its role in the independence movement. The text explores how Lathi Khela emerged from village protection needs and transformed through medieval periods, incorporating influences from Hindu, Buddhist, and Sufism traditions. It documents the art's significant role during colonial times, examining its transformation from a local defense system to an instrument of resistance. Central to this work is an analysis of Lathi Khela's philosophical core, including its spiritual dimensions, metaphysical concepts, and ethical framework. The study examines how the art integrates body-spirit relationships, prana concepts, and mental cultivation practices, while maintaining a distinct ethical code for its practitioners. The research presents Lathi Khela's cultural integration within Bengali society, analyzing its social roles across different classes and genders. It documents the traditional knowledge systems, including oral transmission methods, storytelling traditions, and teaching parables that have preserved the art through generations. The work concludes with an examination of contemporary interpretations and preservation efforts, offering insights into how this martial tradition maintains relevance while adapting to modern contexts. This study serves as a resource for martial arts researchers, cultural historians, and those interested in Bengali heritage.
