Pro-Kabaddi League is a game that
reflects the rural background and the rich cultural heritage of India. It is
not just a game or sport but a testament of the determination to survive and
flourish in the face of imminent danger of vanquish and ruin. Pro-Kabaddi League 2018 is the
display of the power of will of one against that of seven.
It is a contact team
sport and is played with seven members in each team. The main objective of the
game is served by the raider of the offensive team. He or she has to get into
the territory of the defensive team, touch a player and then come out
unscathed. If the raider gets caught and is not able to cross the boundary
line, its over for them. But if the raider successfully escapes, the enemy team
member who was touched is eliminated.
This game originated
in prehistoric times, when the development of human reflexes was crucial for
self-defense and hunting. In the Mahabharata, the raid that Abhimanyu carried
out unsuccessfully has a very keen resemblance to this ancient rural sport.
Today, this simple
sport has been elevated from its rural background and has been transformed into
a world-wide phenomenon. The Pro-Kabaddi League 2018 are one of the
influences that the rural Indian sport has had on the global sphere.
The Kabaddi World Cup
is another event which was organized in 2004, 2007 and 2016. India won all of
those. Kabaddi has also secured a place in the Asian Games since the year 1990.
The Indian team has won several gold medals with Iran being the second most
influential team in the Games.
Thus, we see
that Kabaddi came out of the rural sphere and entered the global market and
became an instant phenomenon. The Pro Kabaddi League 2018 provides plenty evidence
to support the fact.
