Polo: The Rise of the "Gentleman’s Sport"

Polo is associated with aristocracy, and it is played by passionate individuals who appreciate the spirit of sportsmanship and the grace of the game.
Polo is regarded as one of the oldest forms of team sports in the world, and it's named after a Tibetan word that means ball.
It's not clear how Polo originated, though some believe it originated in Persia, Iran, during the 6th century B. C. to the 1st century A. D. It's believed that Polo was part of a training ritual for nomadic warriors, which involved playing with about a hundred men on one side.
It eventually made its way to India after crossing Persia and Central Asia. Some believe that Polo started in Persia, and then moved to the east and eventually to the north of the country. Others claim that it came from somewhere in India, such as the tea gardens of Assam.
Royalty enjoyed playing Polo in Persia, as it was a common activity among royalty. There is evidence suggesting that the queen and her companions challenged the courtiers of King Khosrow II to a game of Polo in the 6th century.
The 10th Hussars in India started playing Polo in the early days of the game after a captain inspired by a game he watched in 1866 organized a group of officers. The game quickly became popular among British cavalry units in the country. In 1869, a match between the 10th Hussars against the 9th Lancers was held in England.
In India, Polo is regarded as a highly prestigious sport that's associated with sophistication and the finest horses. It also has a close-knit group of loyalists who enjoy playing the game.
The passion and reverence that people have for Polo have remained the same since its inception several centuries ago. The sport has evolved into a more organized and streamlined version of itself, and it continues to be popular.
