by Kesang Pakhrin :The history of Kite can be traced back to thousand of years ago that originated in China . The Kite during those days was used as means of sending message during the time of war. Some other sources also list uses of kite for measuring distances, testing of direction of winds and signaling for military operations. It has its own story and carries its own significance from places to places. In India , the kite further evolved into the fighter kite known as the “Patang”.
