Polo Or Sagol Kangjei The game was in my fatherland Kangleipak (Manipur) . This game was invented by Ningthou Kangba The second king of kangleipak at 1405 BC. We have the oldest polo ground and the Tallest Polo statue . Also in our mythology Lord Marjing Introduced the game polo. Also the game polo also written on Puya ( the holy book of Meetei) .
Don't say again that our tradition and culture is also originated from Persia. You should first know the word POLO derived from which dialect. It was just associted in Persia by the rich and noble's of the Society. Before persia (and Before Christ.) it was played in the Manipur, North-Eastern INDIA as a WAR training game. That time the title INDIA not even formed. That's all.
I'm from a state of Mizoram in northeast india border to our right is a state of Manipur.......let me tell you the polo game originated in Manipur ....... the people of Manipur are Mongolian race...which connect india with southeast asia... at that time Manipur was a kingdom in itself prosperous and wealthy, the game was played before india knew about it's northeast ....the only parwhere many Indian kinds try to conquer, but failed....any source claiming it originated from Persia is a lie.... the govt of Manipur should raise this issue to UNESCO right away...
The origin of Polo as a game was recognised to be played in Manipur, a north eastern state in India. Then the British made it world wide during their invasion. Old man needs to educate himself more.
No, the Origin of Polo lays in ancient Persia. It was brought to India through the early Muslim conquests in the first millennium.
