Polo in India
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
India is the birthplace of modern polo.[1] The modern game of polo is derived from Manipur, where the game was known as sagol kangjei, kanjai-bazee, or pulu.[3][4] It was the anglicised form of the last, referring to the wooden ball that was used, which was adopted by the sport in its slow spread to the west.
