Legend has it that the Pandava warrior Arjuna picked up the skills of Kabaddi under the tutelage of Lord Krishna. He mastered the art of quietly sneaking into enemy traps and demolishing the fortifications without a single scratch on his body.
      The epic also talks of the tragic death of Arjuna’s son, Abhimanyu, who was successful in piercing the ‘Chakravyuha’ or the seven-tiered defensive wall of the Kauravas during the Kurukshetra War but did not know the way out.
      It is said that Abhimanyu learned the technique of attacking when he was a fetus in Devi Subhadra’s womb by absorbing his father, Arjuna’s narration to his mother. But Arjuna was called by Krishna and the conversation had to stop, depriving the unborn Abhimanyu the knowledge of escape from the deadly formation.
      On the 13th day of the Kurukshetra battle, the 16-year-old Abhimanyu broke through the Kaurava formation in a scintillating show of valour and fearlessness. The teenager fought gallantly but ultimately was mercilessly killed by the enemy brigade as he could not escape from their iron clutches.Ancient scripts suggest that the sport of kabaddi was established in memory of the courageous fighter that Abhimanyu was.

    I didn't know it was a growing sport.

Regardless, I am glad it is gaining international traction; sports like gilli-danda, kho-kho, and kabadi are indeed great, and also have a nostalgic factor for many.

      actually hand holding is a tactic because defender has to be cautious, the attacker is usually aggressive and while defending you don't have enough option while the raider can touch anyone so the reason behind hand holding is that the person holding hand will pull you back if the raider tries to touch you also if you notice the person in the back is holding the wrist of the person in the front

So they are giving license to public, farmers, industry not to recycle anything, burn whatever you can without a care. Modi started clean India but he knew all along that it was a gimmick as no policy of reward, punishment to anyone was issued by his govt. Biggest scam is in cleaning Ganga project. I was surprised 2 years back, in fight between the two parties BJP and aap, rubbish was piling on roads of the capital Delhi for days if not weeks.

    Its a sport every villager would play in certain seasons on dusty, muddy or soft grounds. People in urban area cant play because rarely there are known or good playing grounds for kabadi in urban areas.
    The difference is now in the growth of the game is that it has become big commercially and much of it comes from the TV networks taking interest. Much of it comes benefiting from the growth of commercial infrastructure in recent years mainly due to investments from cricket.

    Where I come from we have a game just like this called 'B'. It's based on most of the same principals, but the raider has to say 'B' and not stop as long as he is on the defender's side (it has to be a long 'B', like 'beeeeeeeeeeee' until his breath runs out). If he fails to do so when he's at their side he is out. This game is usually done in an unorganized field with only the participants' shoes marking the borders of the game and is more of a regional game rather than a national game (I never heard of people who play this game in my country who play this game outside of the people near my age group I know. I never knew about it being a professional sport until someone sent this video in one of my Whatsapp groups. Besides, it's a good game, I can definitely see it catching on.
