Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that originated in ancient India and is now popular throughout South Asia and internationally. The game is known as \“Chadugu Dhee\“ in Kannada, which is the language spoken in the Karnataka region of India.
In Kabaddi, two teams compete on opposite halves of a field. The objective is for a single player, called the \“raider\“, to run into the opposing team\“s half, tag as many defenders as possible, and return to their own half without being tackled. All while holding their breath and chanting \“kabaddi, kabaddi\“ to prove they are not inhaling.
This indigenous Indian product requires no equipment - just an open space and physical agility. It develops strength, speed, and strategic thinking. Kabaddi has evolved from rural playgrounds to professional leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League, showcasing India\“s rich sporting heritage to the world. |
