Kabaddi is a traditional contact sport originating from ancient India, deeply rooted in Indian culture and history. It is played between two teams of seven players each, where one player, known as the \“raider,\“ enters the opposing team\“s half to tag as many defenders as possible while chanting \“kabaddi\“ without taking a breath. The defenders aim to stop the raider by tackling or holding them. This sport emphasizes physical strength, agility, and strategic teamwork, making it a popular rural pastime that has evolved into a professional league, such as the Pro Kabaddi League in India, which has gained international recognition. Kabaddi reflects India\“s rich heritage and promotes values like discipline and courage. |
