导出博客文章India and Iran wont merely be vying for the title of world champion on Saturday;
the final will also be the culmination of a tussle over the sports
origins.Conventional wisdom in India has it that the sport was born here in
ancient times. Its roots can be found in the epics - in Nation at Play, Ronojoy
Sen suggests it goes back to the Vedic age - and is said to have been invented
by the Aayars or the Yadavas. Its known by different names in different parts of
India - ha-du-du, hu-tu-tu - and is one of the first games any Indian child
learns.Enter Iranian captain Meraj Sheykh, though, and his take: Kabaddi
originated in his hometown, Sistan, 5,000 years ago. My hometown, Sistan, was
where it was first found. Several ancient books spoke about it too. We were the
original founders of the game, not India, he said.Sheykh later pointed to
Shahr-E-Sukteh, an archaeological site located in Irans Sistan and Baluchestan
province, as the birthplace of the game.Though Sheykh believes that Iran has
history on its side, he acknowledges the Indian role. India has popularized the
game and has increased its outreach. The kind of interest the authorities have
been taking in the sport is commendable and it would only help in the growth of
the game that I love, he said.India and Iran have been two of the most
successful teams so far in international kabaddi. India have dominated the game
ever since the first Asian Kabaddi Championship in 1980, which they won. Iran
debuted at the 2004 World Cup and have since been Indias closest competitors,
facing them in the finals of the previous two editions of the cup.At this
tournament, Iran have won four games and lost one so far - the same as India.
Another loss would mean the end of their campaign, but Sheykh is content with
the way his team has grown. For Iranian players, a lot of focus is put on
training. We probably practice even more than India does. This is our game and
we are more determined, he said.Sheykh began playing kabaddi at the age of 12
and believes that he shares a lot in common with the Indian team. Like many
Indian players, I too started playing the game at a very early age. In fact, the
game is very common in my native place. Almost everyone plays it over there. For
me, its all I have, he says.
