In the game of Kabaddi, there is a word bonus line. This is the national game of Bangladesh. The name Kabaddi is translated into English as meaning "holding hands".
Two teams occupy opposite halves of a field and take turns sending a "raider" into the other half, in order to win points by tagging or wrestling members of the opposing team; the raider then tries to return to his own half, holding his breath and chanting "kabaddi, kabaddi, kabaddi" during the whole raid. The name - often chanted during a game - derives from a Hindi, and Punjabi word meaning "holding of breath", which is indeed the crucial aspect of play. It is the national game of Bangladesh, and the state game of Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh in India.
The State Game of Maharshtra is Kabaddi.
