The Common Wealth Games are a sporting event that brings together commonwealth nations, excluding Kabaddi and Kho-Kho. Some may wonder why these two sports are not included. This blog post discusses the reasons why.

Let's discuss the mythology of Kabaddi first, before we discuss why it is not a part of Common Wealth Games

The game of Kabaddi is thought to have originated in Ancient India, with references to the game being found in the Indian epic Mahabharata. Kabaddi was practised in Indian Vedic schools, with the earliest references found in writings by Tukaram, who noted that Lord Krishna played Kabaddi as a boy.

Kabaddi is a very fast sport, with matches only taking 40 minutes. This short time is packed with exciting action as two teams compete in a battle of strength and speed. viewers will have their eyes glued to the event, which takes less time than an episode of a TV series. Even an episode of Game of Thrones takes more time!

Here are the reasons why Kabaddi & Kho Kho are not a part of the Common Wealth Games:

The commonwealth games is an event that is meant to bring together the commonwealth nations. However, there are two sports that are not included in the games – Kabaddi and Kho-Kho. Some people may be wondering why these two sports are not a part of the commonwealth games. In this blog post, we will discuss the reasons why kabaddi and Kho-Kho are not a part of the commonwealth games.

  1. One reason why these games are not a part of the commonwealth games is that they are not widely played & known in the Commonwealth nations like Australia, Canada, Jamaica, New Zealand and more. Kabaddi is mostly played in South Asia, while kho-kho is mostly played in India. This means that there are not many commonwealth nations where these two sports are popular.
  2. Another reason why the games are not a part of the commonwealth games is that they are not as well-known as other sports. They are not as well-known as other sports such as cricket, football, or hockey. This means that there are not as many people who would be interested in watching these two sports.
  3. The last reason is that they are not as competitive as other sports. Kabaddi and kho-kho are not as competitive as other sports such as cricket, football, or hockey. This means that there are not as many people who would be interested in watching these two sports.

So, these are the three reasons why kabaddi and kho-kho are not a part of the commonwealth games. Even though these two sports are not as popular or well-known as other sports, they are still enjoyed by many people in South Asia and India. Hopefully, one-day kabaddi and kho-kho will be included in the commonwealth games.
