Why the name "Indian" in King's Indian, Nimzo Indian etc. Explained by Anish Giri

Спорт

For quite some time we have all being curious as to why is there the word Indian in the Nimzo Indian, or the Queen's Indian, or the King's Indian Opening. Super GM Anish Giri knows exactly why and he explains that in this video.

    Blame Europe for most of the rules. Here are the rules of chess 1.0 and note I don't know the names of the original pieces. For instance, I believe one piece was the elephant. Pawns can only move one square at a time and attack like they do now. Promotions are a turn. Automatic promotions didn't happen until the late 1800s. Rooks can only move up to two squares up or down or side to side. Knights move as they do now. Bishops move diagonally on their own color up to two squares. They can jump pieces. Kings and queens can only move one square next to them. There was no castling. The object is to capture the opponent's king. Checkmating a king didn't happen until several centuries later.

    I have read this in the books published in 60s and 70s. Basically because in ‘Indian Chess’ pawns move slower in the beginning the players of ‘Indian Chess’ went for slow development of pieces by playing short pawn moves followed by set ups that involved maneuvering behind the pawns (e.g. fianchettoed bishops). Such set ups eventually came to be called ‘Indian Defenses’. Influence of this Indian style of playing can be seen in Mir Sultan Khan’s games.

    Maybe you are right there is no proof on internet on any of these theories but what Anish said makes a bit more sense in my perspective

    If you go by texts, then Anish is right. But there are several 'theories' as to why those are Indian defences. One insane theory that I read was due to the then colonial administration by the British which oppressed the Indians and the country's growth in all spheres along with white supremacy. Thus not controlling the center (which is what the western world popularized) became a 'symbol' of that oppression for the Indians.
