We have to discuss the Bombay Gymkhana (a Whites only club) and the Parsi club. Hindu Gymkhana was originally a Hindu cricket club whose membership was restricted to the people of Hindu religion, Central Public was denied access to Gymkhana and non sport events were restricted to weekends. The Parsis were the first Indian community to start playing the game.
