RATNAGIRI, India (AP) — Hundreds of spectators shout and gesture as lively music blares from loudspeakers. A commentator’s breathless voice resonates over the din trying to keep up with a racing team of two oxen yoked together and a man who looks like he is being dragged through mud behind the speeding animals. The horseshoe-shaped track has only a flimsy fence separating the action from the crowd.
