The Battle of Playground was the first battle in which Harshvardhan took command of troops. In this battle, he learnt that even a single soldier's courage and spirit can change the result of the war. This battle begin due to the Abhinav Gang, lead by Harshvardhan and Abhinav Vyas, was against Islam and Poojan gang took few Muslims in their gang, and for the dominance of the swings area in the Playground region of the School.
The initial reason of the war was Harshvardhan and Vikas Meena caught spying in Poojan's region.
Background
Poojan sent Shahrukh Khan to drag Harshvardhan and Vikas Meena in front of him. When Shahrukh reached the Abhinav Gang area, he was immediately 20-30 Abhinav Gang members. But powerful soldiers such as Yash Chhangani, Abhinav Vyas, Akash Pandit and Jitendra were getting beaten badly by a single person!
Play Ground Region
St Anselm school was built on large Church-owned land. It has a huge open area and a magnificent stage. There was a region specially for junior students of LKG, HKG, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th with swings and a small church. Children called it Playground Region. When Harshvardhan was in 3rd, there was a bitter struggle between Abhinav-Harshvardhan faction and Poojan faction for the dominance of the playground regions. Battles with stones, hand-to-hand fights, etc. became common. This battle was first battle led by Harshvardhan in his career. Playground Region had many kinds of swings, and children who want to use them had to take permission from the ruling faction of the region. So outside supporters of the groups were formed.
The Battle
Harshvardhan ordered 20-30 people to attack Shahrukh. But Shahrukh was easily beating all. He was fighting with almost 6-8 people at time without getting any hit! Jitendra asked Harshvardhan himself to fight Shahrukh who was seeing this fight from a distance. Harshvardhan was little nervous and somewhat afraid. But then Jitendra praised him by saying- "You are strongest among us and only you can save us from a shameful defeat!". This ignited Harshvardhan's anger. He attacked Shahrukh from the back but got a kick on his neck as soon as he tried to do so. After this, for once he wanted to run but then Abhinav got a bad slap on his face- after this volcano of his anger brusted. He attacked Shahrukh shouting with full strength. Shahrukh's lips begin bleeding and got a bad hit on his chest. Shahrukh ran to the school building and Harshvardhan, Akash Pandit and Abhinav ran after him. They caught him and beat him with their full power. This led to Abhinav's victory.
Quotations
Leaders of the Abhinav Gang did the following comments after the war:
Shahrukh Khan was earlier a very weak person. I have heard that Allah gave him power to defeat and kill us. But for the God's sake we won. I think his father would be so strong if he kick Shahrukh he would fall 10 meters away!
— Abhinav Vyas
We won the battle! But everybody fought bravely. When our strong fighters like Yash and Jitendra were easily beaten up... To be honest I was afraid. But Lord Shiva was with us and led us to victory. Har Har Mahadev!
Result and Aftermath
The final victory of Abhinav Gang made Harshvardhan immensely popular and outside children began to support Abhinav Gang. Poojan Gang became weaker and it was able to retake the Playground region only once but can't sustain it for more than 5 days. Harshvardhan finally became president of the Abhinav Gang.
