Jallikattu and the Ignorant BAN

Are we going to preserve some of our residual traditional sports or abandon them?

Firstly, even before entering into this topic or speaking briefly, do we all know why #Jallikattu is practiced; it is definitely not an entertainment or time passing sport. But, it is endorsement sport which has been followed from our Sangam Era literature about years ago.

Not all bulls are selected; the ones reared for #Jallikattu are selected on their boldness and agility. Once they are being selected, they undergo all the proper procedures and then allowed to perform on Jallikattu.

To know in brief on why this event is being practiced:  The stud bulls are the ones reared for #Jallikattu. And the ones that perform and win during Jallikattu are in much demand for want in servicing the cows of the village. #Jallikattu is a platform to exhibit the performance of the bulls. And the ones that are agile are preferred by the farmers.

To detail the chart, if flows as, Jallikattu happens first,  followed by Sandhais (i.e. Marker –selling of the cattle) and then the main farming season starts. Hope you understand here, the spectators seeing the bulls performing on Jallikattu seek the ones they need. It can be for various purposes like, mating, used as draught animals in transport/farming etc. Many of us are unaware that each and every species has unique characteristics, behavior and differ from each other.

To our note,

With the growing older population of our farmers, we certainly need young people to concentrate on agriculture. While most youth considers agriculture to be an image problem, non-attractive route of employment and a back-breaking labor.

 So with these types of events, we can capture their attention and try our best to escort them into the path to agriculture. We have to be the initiatives for our younger generation and establish them in order to strengthen our food network. Here it can be understood as selfishness too, but it’s the reality.

For sure, our youngsters are with full of brains. So, brains combined with labor can reach heights. We as humans should always have to strive for our food and environment.

Even though we aren’t able to diversify our agrarian economy, it is better that if we support the still going on practices and encourage them for doing so.

This encouragement is definitely not for the farmers or their generations to come, but it is for our own food day and after tomorrow.

Now thinking out of the world (It can also be funny J 

We all know that we use the native livestock for various purposes. On doing their routine the cattle get bored. So, like you and me having physical education, yoga or any other extra class in our educational system, Jallikattu is a relaxation ground for the #bull to play its part.

Moreover, nothing is going to happen to a bull whose app weight (500 to 1,000 kilograms) is being embraced by a man (weight app 100 kg). (to note, I’m putting it clear, this sport is just to embrace the hump of the bull long enough to grab the money bag without getting hit.)

Tips to the people who oppose Jallikattu:

You know something. (Continue: People whose occupation is agriculture are prone to be badly injured and killed by bulls. Bulls are among the dangerous animals. We all know that our farmers need these animals for cultivation. And these deaths occur while taking care of the bulls. From this, we understand that not only caring, but “Be Aware with Care” is needed and can only be practiced by Jallikattu.

For the people who still wanted to ban this event, Jallikattu and not satisfied with the above said. I would like you to first ban on breeding and killing of animals for their flesh and then ban on this sport.

I want to close the topic with the note,

Do you know, a recent investigation arrived at the conclusion that in 10 years Indian cows will cease to exist and we will be in a condition to import milk.

 If still our insights aren’t clear, then surely we will one day lose our agrarian economy and our favorite Dairy products. Thank you.
