The modern form of X however can be traced to India, where British military officers stationed there in the late 19th century became interested in a similar local game which was known to them as Poona (derived from Pune, an Indian garrison town). Another early version of the game was recorded in the 1850s in the southern Indian city of Tanjore, called ’ pooppanthu vilayattam ’ in which balls made of wool and cardboard were used.

Prospectors, took nearly three years in a painstaking search across vast stretches of inhospitable terrain to find a suitable location. One day, almost by accident they came across a village called Sakchi, on the densely forested stretches of the Chhota Nagpur plateau, near the confluence of the Subarnarekha and Kharkai rivers. It seemed to be the ideal choice and the place was selected. While building this beautiful city, X had said ... "Be sure to lay wide streets planted with shady trees, every other of a quick growing variety. Be sure that there is plenty of space for lawns and gardens; reserve large areas for football, hockey and parks; earmark areas for Hindu temples, Mohammedan mosques and Christian churches." What the city looks like today is a testament to X 's visionary plans. Z is the only city in India without a municipality.
