A game of hide and seek is being held between our area and the neighboring area.

Assalamu Alaikum. I hope you are well and I am well too. Today I will share with you about the game of Hadudu.

Playing Hadudu in our area

An integral part of rural life in Bangladesh are various folk games, of which Hadudu is one. Organizing Hadudu game is a common sight in our area, especially during the rainy season or after harvesting. Recently, a Hadudu game was held in our neighborhood, which brought together the people of the entire area.

The game was held in an open field near our house. Since the afternoon, a crowd of enthusiastic people started gathering around the field. Regardless of young and old, old and young, everyone came to the field to enjoy their favorite game. There was a festive atmosphere all around. Players from different parts of the village were divided into two teams. Each team had a mix of experienced and young players, which made the game more enjoyable.

Although the rules of the game are quite simple, it is a great combination of physical strength, strategy and intelligence. A player enters the opponent's court while saying "Kabaddi Kabaddi" and while holding his breath, tries to touch as many players as possible and return to his court. If he succeeds, the touched players are out. On the other hand, the opponent's players try to catch him so that he cannot return to his court. These tense and breathtaking moments create great excitement among the spectators.

I myself was present in the field and was enjoying the game. I was impressed by the speed, technique and team effort of the players. The entire field was filled with applause from the audience with each successful attack. Especially when a player was returning to his court after touching many opponent players, the excitement of the audience was worth seeing. Similarly, when a player was caught by the opponent, there was a suppressed excitement.

The game of Hadudu is not just a means of entertainment, it is a reflection of rural culture. This game embodies our heritage and teaches the importance of teamwork. It also helps in maintaining physical fitness. When our children are moving away from the playground in the era of modern technology, organizing such rural games helps in introducing them to their culture and heritage.

After the game, the winning team was congratulated and all the participating players were applauded. This Hadudu game brought unity and joy among the people of our area. It is the responsibility of all of us to keep such a traditional game alive and highlight its importance to the new generation. Today's game was very good. Many spectators took positions on the tops of trees to watch the game. Whoever got a place enjoyed the game from there. It was a lot of joy to watch today's game. In our area, this time is actually the beginning of Hadudu. Everyone enjoys playing Hadudu during this time. I liked today's game very much.
