Kabaddi is a traditional Indian sport that originated in ancient India and is now played internationally. This contact team sport requires both physical strength and strategic thinking.
In a typical kabaddi match, two teams of seven players each compete on a rectangular court. The objective is for a single player, called the “raider,“ to enter the opposing team\“s half of the court, tag as many defenders as possible, and return to their own half without being tackled. All while holding their breath and chanting “kabaddi, kabaddi“ continuously.
The sport is particularly popular in rural India and has gained recognition through events like the Pro Kabaddi League. It requires minimal equipment - just a playing field and comfortable clothing, making it accessible to people across different economic backgrounds.
For class 6 students learning about kabaddi, common questions might include: What are the basic rules? How many players are on each team? What is the role of the raider? How is scoring calculated? Understanding these fundamentals helps appreciate this indigenous Indian sport that combines athleticism with cultural heritage. |
