Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport with deep historical roots, originating in ancient India over 4,000 years ago. It was initially played as a form of exercise and entertainment in rural communities, and its name derives from the Tamil word \“kai-pidi\“, meaning \“holding hands\“. Over time, Kabaddi evolved into a competitive sport, gaining popularity across India and eventually spreading to other countries. The game involves two teams, where a \“raider\“ from one team enters the opponent\“s court to tag players while holding their breath and chanting \“kabaddi\“. This unique blend of physical prowess, strategy, and cultural heritage makes Kabaddi a significant part of India\“s sporting identity. Today, it is recognized internationally, with professional leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League boosting its global appeal. |
