Jallikkattu banned


Pongal is very close. it is time for celebration. it is time for pattimandram and jallikkattu. but this year we will have no jallikkatu. the supreme court has ruled against it. everyone has a different view on this. this was quoted as a 400 year old sport and the judges ridiculed it by saying we now live in a civilized society.

if jallikkattu is banned in tamilnadu, i feel kite festival also must be banned. particularly in gujarat. birds die in hundreds. two wheelers on the road get hurt in 100s. children fall from balconies and roof tops - die and fracture their bones. in comparison to jallikkattu, kite flying causes more harm to birds and the humans. join me in raising the voice.

the whole idea is to provoke the thoughts. get activated. with regards - tamizhanban
