The series tells the story of how Kabaddi went from a rural and regional sport to a national and international phenomenon, with millions of fans and followers around the world.

Another highlight of the show is the portrayal of the emotional and personal side of the players, who have to deal with the pressure of expectations, injuries, and setbacks, but also have the support of their families and the camaraderie of their teammates. The series explores the relationships and bonding that happen within the team, the sacrifices that the players make for each other, and the joy and celebration that follow a hard-earned victory.

Sons of the Soil: Jaipur Pink Panthers is not only a sports documentary, but it is also a tribute to the resilience, determination, and spirit of the human beings who play the game. It showcases the beauty and excitement of Kabaddi, as well as the values of teamwork, discipline, and respect that it represents.
