What can be inferred from the given passage taken from the essay "Eastern Sports and Western Bodies - The "Indian Club" in the United States" by Daniel Elkind? "Though "Indian club" isn't exactly a misnomer, some of the clubs called by this name are now thought to descend from the large meals used in Persian Pahlevani and zourkhaneh culture, a kind of ritual gymnastics that combines pre-Islamic, Sufi, and Shia spiritual exercises. Likely arriving in the Indian subcontinent with the Mughals during the late sixteenth century, these traditions were possibly "crossbred" with local Indian grappling (Malla-yuddha) to create the hybrid we know as Pehlwani today." .
