Kabaddi is indeed an Indian sport with deep historical roots in ancient India. The game originated in Tamil Nadu over 4,000 years ago and was originally practiced as a way to develop self-defense skills.
The modern version of kabaddi has evolved into a professional sport with international recognition. India has dominated the sport at international competitions, winning multiple gold medals in Asian Games and World Cups.
Traditional kabaddi was played in villages across India, particularly in states like Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra. The sport requires no equipment and can be played on any flat surface, making it accessible to people from all economic backgrounds.
Today, kabaddi has gained global popularity through professional leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League in India, which has attracted international players and significant commercial investment. |
