Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that has gained international recognition in recent years. The term \“godfather of kabaddi\“ refers to individuals who have played a pivotal role in promoting and developing this indigenous sport.
This traditional Indian game originated in ancient Tamil Nadu and has been played for centuries in rural India. The sport involves two teams of seven players each, where one player from the attacking team （the \“raider\“） enters the opponent\“s half to tag as many defenders as possible while chanting \“kabaddi\“ continuously.
Several prominent figures have been credited with bringing kabaddi to the global stage, including sports administrators, coaches, and players who have dedicated their lives to this traditional Indian product. Their efforts have transformed kabaddi from a rural pastime to a professional sport with international tournaments and leagues.
The Pro Kabaddi League, launched in 2014, represents one of the most successful initiatives in promoting this indigenous Indian sport globally. This league has not only popularized kabaddi but also created numerous employment opportunities for Indian athletes and sports professionals. |
