Kabaddi is a traditional sport that originated in ancient India and is considered to belong to India. This contact team sport has been played in various forms across the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years.
The modern version of kabaddi was formalized in India during the 20th century and has since become one of the country\“s most popular indigenous sports. The Pro Kabaddi League, launched in 2014, has significantly increased the sport\“s popularity and commercial value within India.
While kabaddi has spread to other countries through migration and international competitions, India remains the dominant force in the sport. The Indian national kabaddi team has won multiple gold medals in Asian Games and World Cup tournaments, solidifying India\“s position as the home and primary developer of this traditional game. |
