The Kho-Kho game is an Indian sport commonly played in schools and colleges around
the country. When it comes to Kho-Kho history, every Indian knows that the game was known to
be played since the earliest of times. It is played on a rectangular court, between two teams of
twelve players each, of which 9 take the field and 3 are reserves.
Kho-Kho is a great test of the participants` physical fitness, strength, speed and stamina
and dodging ability. No one has exact knowledge on Kho-Kho history or when the first game
was played, though many historians say that it is actually a modified form of `Run Chase`. In the
ancient era, a version of the Kho-Kho game was played on `raths` or chariots in Maharashtra.
This was known as Rathera.
