Badminton originated in India as a game called "Poona" and involves hitting a shuttlecock back and forth over a net using rackets. It is played on a court by one or two people and requires gripping techniques, serving skills, and various strokes like backhands, forehands, drives, drop shots, and smashes. The rules dictate serving from the right or left side depending on whether the score is even or odd.
