Kabaddi
Kabaddi (, ) is a contact team sport played between two teams of seven players. It is one of the traditional games of South Asia. In this game, a raider enters the opposing half of the court to touch defenders and attempt to return within 30 seconds without being tackled. Points are awarded for successful tags, while defenders earn a point for stopping the raider. Tagged or tackled players are temporarily out but can re-enter when their team scores. Raids alternate between teams throughout the game. It is popular in South Asia and nearby Asian countries.

Dabang Delhi K
A ''dabang'' () is a Korean-language term for any establishment that primarily serves non-alcoholic drinks. The concept is comparable to that of cafes or teahouses. Even modern non-Korean coffee chains like Starbucks can be referred to as ''dabangs''. Some have dubbed Starbucks ''Byeoldabang'' (). History As modern Korea became more exposed to Western culture during the late Joseon dynasty and the Korean Empire, ''dabang-''like establishments began to emerge. The dabang led to the origin of the Korean tea ceremony. It is said that Dado was established in other East Asian countries during the 8th and 9th centuries. In Korea, Dado culture was underdeveloped compared to its other East Asian counterparts such as China and Japan, as there was no Dado culture for the average Korean commoner. However, Dado culture was institutionalized at the national level. According to literature, there was a place where tea was drunk in the Unified Silla period called Daejeon Won (Tea 院), and th ...
