at the Sikh Temple on Sunday, Oct. 2, 2011. In the sport of
Kabaddi, a team sends a “raider” into the opposing team’s half of
the court. When the raider comes in contact with a member of the
opposite team he must return to his team’s half of the court within
30 seconds while the opponent he contacted attempts to stop
him.
