Badminton's origins date back to the mid-1800s when British military officers stationed in British India created the game. Initially called 'battledor,' it featured a shuttlecock instead of a ball, a characteristic that remains unchanged. Like other racquet sports in England, it was primarily enjoyed by the upper classes.
