He's played polo and given talks about the sport and his native culture in over 15 countries around the world. Equestrian skills have been long revered, practiced and celebrated in Sodhi's home province. A royal polo match is chronicled as taking place in northwest India as far back as 33 A.D., and horsemen were mission critical in Sikh's successful battles to maintain sovereignty in the 18th century. In addition, horsemanship plays a central role in the giant Hola Mohalla celebration held annually in Sodhi's home region. We're grateful for Vikram Singh Sodhi's return to Hawaii Polo Club and salute his proactive efforts to foster cultural exchange and the betterment of humanity (a fundamental tenant of his Sikh culture). INDIAN MUSIC & DANCE - 5:15PM This Sunday is your chance to learn traditional Punjabi dance! Immediately following our last polo match, Punjabi dhol drummer, Dave Gupta, and dancer, Sai Bhatawadekar, will teach all who are game a dance from Vikram Sodhi's home region, Punjab.
