Chaturanga, an ancient game developed in the Gupta age is the ancestor of which modern day game?

Chaturanga, developed in the Gupta period, was a strategy game representing four military divisions (infantry, cavalry, elephants, chariotry). It evolved into modern chess through Persian (Shatranj) and Islamic influences, eventually reaching Europe. The core concept of different piece types with distinct movement patterns remained consistent. Badminton, table tennis, and handball are modern sports with no connection to ancient Indian games. Chess is the direct descendant of Chaturanga.
