Kite-flying/fighting is a growing sport around the world

Kite Flying or fighting as it is known in the competitive realm has a cultural significance with India. Every kid has at some point practiced kite-flying. The Western state of Gujarat has embraced it to the extent that they even have an International festival.

However, it’s about time the Olympics realises the potential of the sport. Kite-flying as an activity is not only restricted to India. Even countries such as China and South Korea have a thriving kite-flying culture.

As a competitive sport one has to cut off the strings of the opponents kite. Definitely several medals in-store for India.
