Mera Bharat Mahan - India Of Course....
It Has Been Played From The Time, When Those Mythological Characters From The Mahabharat Existed... I Guess Gambling Was The In Thing At That Time.. Cause I Dont Think The Bands And The Orchestras Really Entertained The Elite Class...

Yay wikipedia
Many countries claim to have invented chess in some incipient form. The most commonly held view is that chess originated in India, since the Arabic, Persian, Greek, Portuguese and Spanish words for chess are all derived from the Sanskrit game Chaturanga. In addition, in the past only India had all three animals, horse, camel and elephant, in its cavalry, which represent knight, bishop and rook in chess. The present version of chess played throughout the world ultimately derives from a version of Chaturanga that was played in India around the 6th century. It is believed that the Persians subsequently created a more recognizable version of the game called Shatranj.
Another theory exists that chess arose from the similar game of Xiangqi (Chinese chess), or at least a predecessor thereof, existing in China since the 2nd century BC. Scholars who have favored this theory include Joseph Needham and David H. Li.

This game, which has tantalized and enchanted many of the best minds of the world for almost 14 centuries, originated in the Indus Valley in India in the 6th century ad. Originally known as Chaturanga (the “army game”), it spread rapidly along the routes of commerce and conquest, first to Persia, then to the Byzantine Empire, then throughout the rest of Asia. The Muslim world, on the threshold of its greatest scientific and cultural accomplishments, welcomed chess with unbounded delight. The Arabs extensively studied, analysed, and wrote treatises on the game, and in the process developed the algebraic notation system.
