I like action-based sports, and kabbadi is my favourite. I

In the words of Yo Yo Honey Singh, when he declared: "I like action-based sports, and kabbadi is my favourite. I wanted to be associated with a sport on which I really believe in, and so I bought a team in World Kabbadi League, and Toronto will host my team." — there is a message not merely about entertainment or business, but about loyalty, belief, and the courage to invest in what ignites the spirit. These words are not of fleeting amusement, but of a soul that recognizes the power of tradition fused with modern platforms, lifting what is ancient and placing it upon the world stage.

The ancient game of kabbadi has its roots in the soil of India, born in the dust of villages where warriors tested strength, speed, and breath. It was once a game that taught courage to boys and discipline to men, where a single chant of "kabaddi, kabaddi" was like the war cry of survival, demanding control of lungs, body, and heart. In such a sport, there is no hiding. Only raw spirit, contact, and endurance. By associating himself with this sport, Honey Singh reveals the truth of belief: that it is not glamour or ease we must uphold, but the battlefields of authenticity where true heroes emerge.

To take one’s belief and turn it into action is what separates the dreamer from the doer. Many admire games, many cheer, but few carry their admiration into the realm of ownership, into building something greater than themselves. Honey Singh chose not just to speak of his love but to make his love visible, investing his own resources into the World Kabbadi League. This is the path of the warrior of the spirit — one who knows that to nurture what one believes in is to give life to the dreams of many.

History gives us countless echoes of such devotion. Think of Baron Pierre de Coubertin, who revived the Olympic Games in the modern age. He did not merely admire the glory of ancient Greece; he took upon his shoulders the burden of rebirth, weaving together nations, traditions, and sports into a living festival of humanity. Just as Coubertin gave immortality to Olympia, Honey Singh gives recognition to kabaddi, carrying it beyond the soil of India to the great halls of Toronto. In both stories lies the same lesson: belief must be made flesh through action, else it withers like a seed never planted.

The choice of Toronto as the host city is no accident. It symbolizes the crossing of borders, the reaching out of heritage to the global stage. It is a reminder that culture, though born in a specific land, belongs to all once it shows its worth. By planting kabaddi in the soil of another nation, Singh extends the roots of his culture and shows that passion has no boundaries. The warrior spirit of kabaddi is now not only for India’s villages but for the citizens of the world.

What is the lesson we, too, may draw from this? That when we hold a passion, it is not enough to guard it in the heart like a secret flame. We must nourish it, give it form, share it with others. For if a man believes in music, let him create songs; if a woman believes in justice, let her fight in courts; if a youth believes in a sport, let him play, support, or sustain it. To believe is divine, but to act upon belief is the true path of greatness.

And so, children of tomorrow, let these words be carved into your minds: Do not shy away from action when your heart is stirred by belief. Seek out what you love, nurture it with your energy, and extend it beyond your limits. For in doing so, you honor not only yourself but all those who came before you, who left behind traditions, dreams, and struggles. To take belief and turn it into life is to walk the path of the immortal builders of culture.

Thus, when Honey Singh speaks of kabaddi and his team, do not hear only the voice of a celebrity. Hear the ancient voice of warriors who once played the game in the dust, hear the modern echo of builders who cross seas with heritage, and hear the eternal lesson: believe, act, and share. This is the way of growth, this is the way of honor, this is the way of legacy.
