JALLIKATTU


Crowd stood in rigor with their amber eyes blazing at afternoon's sunshine. Their throat went dry absorbing the spirit of sublime emotion prodded in veins. A huge applause emerged from west of the gathering along with brassy unorganized raucousness. In the center of mass, a tall powerfully built young man with his quick burning gait and muscular hands took a swift twitch jumping on to the barbarous bull, clinging on his neck trying to bring him under control. Digging his solid arm into the stiff curves of its body for grip. The bull fought back trying to wrench him off, shaking his huge tough body possibly the most inaccurate way. The audience shouted in vilification, their voice stronger enough to praise every Tamilian's pride and bravery. The fearlessness in his eyes bearing courage to encounter any struggles in front was an expression of Tamilian pride before world. The crowd screaming in the power of an extremely engaging sport enhanced and proclaimed the strength of a rich culture that taught humanity its civilized ways.

Bullfighting, the sport that is legal in many countries like Spain, France, US etc. became illegal
in India two years before. The relevance of Jallikattu unlike other countries is that it is both dangerous and original sport unlike most of the sports in other countries. No one in any country or culture dare to fix a fight with bull using his bare hands and determination.
It is important to support Tamil people and their culture canvassing the massive gathering of peaceful Tamil youth in order to preserve their culture. It is important to preserve the green and freshness remaining in the heart of Tamil villages while the world swiftly exchange to a robotic grey era. The major fact that attracted me was the unorganized platform that attracted youth to assemble over a common cause. This social assembling that holds zero assistance from political parties intends to uplift consciousness of authority in contemplating their decision.

Jallikattu is a matter of Indian Pride. 
Sport of a brave Generation. 
Piece of an Ancient Culture.
