HISTORY OF BADMINTON
◦ Games employing shuttlecocks have been played for centuries across Eurasia, but
the modern game of badminton developed in the mid-19th century among the
expatriate officers of British India as a variant of the earlier game of battledore
and shuttlecock. ("Battledore" was an older term for "racquet".) Its exact origin
remains obscure. The name derives from the Duke of Beaufort's Badminton
House in Gloucestershire, but why or when remains unclear. As early as 1860, a
London toy dealer named Isaac Spratt published a booklet entitled Badminton
Battledore – A New Game, but no copy is known to have survived. An 1863 article
in The Cornhill Magazine describes badminton as "battledore and shuttlecock
played with sides, across a string suspended some five feet from the ground".
HISTORY OF BADMINTON
◦ The sport was played under the Pune rules until 1887, when J. H. E. Hart of
the Bath Badminton Club drew up revised regulations. In 1890, Hart and Bagnel Wild again
revised the rules. The Badminton Association of England (BAE) published these rules in 1893
and officially launched the sport at a house called "Dunbar” in Portsmouth on 13
September. The BAE started the first badminton competition, the All England Open Badminton
Championships for gentlemen's doubles, ladies' doubles, and mixed doubles, in 1899. Singles
competitions were added in 1900 and an England–Ireland championship match appeared in
1904.
INDIAN HISTORY
ØPrakash Padukone and Pullela Gopichand both won the All England Open in 1980 and
2001 respectively, making them the only Indians to win the prestigious title.
ØSaina Nehwal won the bronze medal in the individual women's competition at the 2012
London Olympic Games, the first Olympic medal for the country in badminton. P. V.
Sindhu won the second and the third Olympic medals in badminton for India, winning a
silver and a bronze medal at the 2016 Rio Olympics and the 2020 Tokyo
Olympics respectively.
INDIAN HISTORY
◦ India has won several medals at the BWF World Championships as well, with Prakash
Padukone winning the first in 1982. The doubles pairing of Jwala Gutta and Ashwini
Ponnappa became the first women to win a medal when they won the bronze in 2011. P.
V. Sindhu then won consecutive bronze medals at 2013 and 2014 editions, the first Indian
player to do so. Saina Nehwal won a first-ever silver at the 2015 Championships, and
then a bronze in 2017. P. V. Sindhu won silver in consecutive editions in 2017 and 2018.
Sindhu then went on to win the gold at the 2019 BWF World Championships and become
the first Indian to ever finish on top of the podium. At the same edition, B. Sai
Praneeth medalled in the men's singles after 36 years, clinching the bronze. As a result,
for the first time, India won medals in two different disciplines in the same BWF World
Championships edition. In 2021, Lakshya Sen won the bronze medal in men's singles
while Srikanth Kidambi won the silver, the first time India had two medallists in the same
edition in the men's singles discipline. In 2022, Satwiksairaj Rankireddy and Chirag
Shetty won India's first World Championship medal in the men's doubles, a bronze. Till
date, India has never returned empty handed from the World Championships since 2011.
