Wrestling in India is a lifetime profession and should you be born into a family of "Phelwans," as wrestlers are termed in India, within a few years you would be following their system of training and ways of life.
When in training -- which is pretty much always -- Indian wrestlers rise at 5:30 AM to begin their exercises which consist of thousands of "Dunds" (pushups) and "Batticks" (squats). This routine is performed each day without fail and builds and incredible amount of strength and endurance.
These three men were some of the greatest wrestlers in all of India during their time, from left to right Chota, Imam-Bux (the Great Gama's brother), and Mdrala.
