Kabaddi is the national sport of Bangladesh, not India. While kabaddi originated in ancient India and remains immensely popular there, it was officially declared the national sport of Bangladesh.
Kabaddi has deep roots in Indian tradition, dating back to prehistoric times. The game involves two teams of seven players each, where a “raider“ enters the opposing team\“s half to tag defenders while holding their breath and chanting “kabaddi.“
In India, kabaddi has evolved into a professional sport with leagues like the Pro Kabaddi League, attracting international players and substantial viewership. The sport continues to grow in popularity across South Asia and beyond. |
