In the annals of history, polo (Chugan as it is known in Persian) emerged from Persia in 600BC in the Aryan tribes of Central Asia. Northern area of Pakistan was the first place where the game arrived and took the present shape. As the geography of the game stretched, Abbasid Caliph Haroon-ur-Rashid was the first Muslim emperor to play Polo in the 9th Century.   A 10th century poet Firdosi has mentioned polo in his famous epic Shahnama. The imperial gazetteer of india published in 1881 by Sir William Wilson Hunter records the death of Sultan Qutubuddin Aibak in 1206 after falling from his horse

Later on Mughal empires made it a royal pastime and Baber himself was a very good Polo Player. Presently, it is played in every nook of the world with international standards but the one played in northern Pakistan is the most primitive form.It is one of the most expensive games in the world. To pet a horse needs a lot of resources. Since very long, people of Chitral and Gilgit-Baltistan have been interested in horses and most households in a village used to keep them.

The style and rules of this crude form of polo is so captivating that it doesn’t look like a game; rather it is a tug of war between the two groups of people wearing different colors of shirts. Horse to horse collisions, locked sticks and dangerously falling players add to the thrill of adventurists. There are apparently no rules and offences and foul play is abstained on ethical basis. This old form of playing Polo is preserved so beautifully through centuries by the people of this region.
