Class 4 English Santoor – Unit 3: Fun with Games – Chapter 9 Hekko – Hindi Translation

‘Hek’ means to challenge and ‘ko’ means tiger.
Therefore, the word “Hekko” means “Challenging the tiger.”
There is a folk story in Nagaland which talks about “Aami” (The Man) and “Aakho” (The Tiger).
Hindi Translation‘हेक’ का अर्थ है चुनौती देना और ‘को’ का अर्थ है बाघ।
इसलिए, “हेक्को” शब्द का अर्थ है “बाघ को चुनौती देना।”
नागालैंड में एक लोककथा है, जिसमें “आमी” (मनुष्य) और “आखो” (बाघ) के बारे में बताया गया है।

Story: Once upon a time, humans and animals lived together. They had a disagreement about their superiority. The humans challenged Aakho and the challenge came to be known as Hekko.
Hindi Translationकहानी: “एक समय की बात है, जब मनुष्य और जानवर एक साथ रहते थे। उनकी श्रेष्ठता को लेकर आपस में मतभेद हो गया। मनुष्यों ने आखो (बाघ) को चुनौती दी और इस चुनौती को ‘हेक्को’ के नाम से जाना जाने लगा।”

The people in the Mokokchung district of Nagaland play a game named Hekko, which is a well-known sport today.
Hindi Translationनागालैंड के मोकोकचुंग जिले के लोग हेक्को नाम का खेल खेलते हैं, जो आज एक प्रसिद्ध खेल है।

Presently, it is played as a team game between two teams: Aakho and Aami. The strongest people in the village are identified through this game.
Hindi Translationवर्तमान में, यह दो टीमों के बीच खेले जाने वाला एक दल खेल है: एक टीम आमी और दूसरी आखो कहलाती है। इस खेल के माध्यम से गाँव के सबसे ताकतवर लोगों की पहचान की जाती है।

There are 11 players in each team. The toss before the game decides which team will be called Aami and which will be called Aakho.
Hindi Translationप्रत्येक टीम में 11 खिलाड़ी होते हैं। खेल शुरू होने से पहले टॉस किया जाता है, जिससे तय होता है कि कौन-सी टीम आमी कहलाएगी और कौन-सी आखो।

To play, a circle is first drawn, and the Aami team has to stay within the circle by making a human chain, while the Aakho team stays outside the circle.
Hindi Translationसबसे पहले एक गोला बनाया जाता है। आमी टीम के खिलाड़ी मानव शृंखला बनाकर गोले के अंदर रहते हैं, जबकि आखो टीम के खिलाड़ी गोले के बाहर रहते हैं।

At first, two members of the Aakho team enter the circle and try to push the Aami players outside the circle. When an Aami player is pushed out of the circle, he is out and cannot enter again.
Hindi Translationसबसे पहले, आखो टीम के दो खिलाड़ी गोले के अंदर आते हैं और आमी टीम के खिलाड़ियों को गोले से बाहर धकेलने की कोशिश करते हैं। यदि किसी आमी खिलाड़ी को गोले से बाहर धकेल दिया जाता है, तो वह खेल से बाहर हो जाता है और दोबारा गोले के अंदर नहीं आ सकता।

The Aami team also tries to catch the players of the Aakho team by surrounding them. When an Aakho player is caught, he is not released until he says “Joko” (surrender). When one player gets caught and surrenders, another player from the Aakho team enters the circle. Whenever a team gets a player of the opposite team out, it gains points.
Hindi Translationआमी टीम भी आखो टीम के खिलाड़ियों को घेरकर पकड़ने की कोशिश करती है। जब कोई आखो खिलाड़ी पकड़ा जाता है, तो उसे तब तक नहीं छोड़ा जाता, जब तक वह ‘जोको’ (समर्पण) नहीं कहता। जब कोई खिलाड़ी पकड़ा जाता है और समर्पण करता है, तो आखो टीम का एक और खिलाड़ी गोले के अंदर आता है। जब भी कोई टीम विरोधी टीम के किसी खिलाड़ी को खेल से बाहर करती है, तो उसे अंक मिलते हैं।

The game of Hekko gets over when one of the following three things happens:
• All the members of the Aakho team get caught.
• All the members of the Aami team are pushed out of the circle.
• The time runs out. The team with the maximum points wins the game.
Hindi Translationखेल इन तीन स्थितियों में से किसी एक के होने पर समाप्त हो जाता है:
• आखो टीम के सभी खिलाड़ी पकड़े जाते हैं।
• आमी टीम के सभी खिलाड़ी गोले से बाहर धकेल दिए जाते हैं।
• समय समाप्त हो जाता है।

The fastest player of the Aami Team is awarded the title of “Khozuba” and the strongest player of the Aakho team is awarded the title of “Khotiba”.
Hindi Translationआमी टीम के सबसे तेज़ खिलाड़ी को ‘खोजुबा’ का खिताब दिया जाता है। आखो टीम के सबसे ताकतवर खिलाड़ी को ‘खोटिबा’ का खिताब दिया जाता है।
