Which statement(s) about Kabaddi's history is/are correct? 1) 'Kabaddi' comes from Kaunbada, denoting an early defensive formation. 2) Rules were framed in 1918, printed in 1923, and used in a Baroda tournament.
Only 2 is Correct
The word Kabaddi is generally believed to be derived from the Tamil phrase meaning "holding of hands," reflecting the game's format where players hold their breath and chant while raiding, rather than from a term called Kaunbada denoting a defensive formation.
The first codified rules of Kabaddi were indeed framed in 1918 and later printed in 1923, and the sport was popularised through tournaments including one held in Baroda, marking an important step in its formal organisation as a competitive sport.
Since statement 2 aligns with the documented history of the sport's codification while statement 1 attributes an inaccurate etymology to the term Kabaddi, only statement 2 holds true.
Hence, the answer is Only 2 is Correct.
