The old (ancient) history of Kho Kho is deeply rooted in Indian culture and tradition, going back thousands of years, long before it was codified into a modern sport. Here’s a look at the early, traditional history of Kho Kho.
Kho Kho is believed to have originated in prehistoric India, where it was played as a training activity for physical fitness, stamina, and strategy—often by warriors and hunters.
Its roots may come from a traditional game called “Rathera”, where chariots (raths) were used instead of players running on foot. Over time, this evolved into a running game, especially when chariots became obsolete.
Players must run, dive, and change direction with explosive speed.
Each chase involves coordination, timing, and smart positioning.
Success depends on collective planning and rapid communication.
