about kabaddi history

Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport with a rich history dating back thousands of years. It originated in ancient India and was played as a way to develop physical strength and self-defense skills. The game involves two teams, where one player, known as the \“raider,\“ enters the opponent\“s court to tag as many players as possible while chanting \“kabaddi\“ without taking a breath. This unique aspect makes it a thrilling and strategic sport.

Over time, kabaddi evolved and spread across India, becoming a popular rural pastime. It was later formalized with standardized rules and gained international recognition, including inclusion in the Asian Games. Today, kabaddi is celebrated as a symbol of Indian culture and heritage, promoting teamwork and agility.
