Ban or no ban on religious basis!

In the fight between saving the bull and losing power, the politicians are naturally choosing to sacrifice the bull. Tamil Nadu CM or DMK chief do not have the guts to go against even repressive tradition  for fear of losing power. Even the Central govt has buckled for the same reason. So Jallikutu will go on.

Supreme court banned Jallikattu in Tamil nadu. People who took part in Jallikattu sustained serious injuries. Some were arrested too. But other such sports like cock fights, Goat fights and Bulbul fights went on. Politicians themselves took the lead and threatened the police of dire consequences, if they dare to stop these traditional sports. 

But in Tamil Nadu, Anbil village in Trichi district celebrated the jallikattu festival on last Saturday with 65 bulls and 40 tamers and defied the Supreme Court ban. The nearest police station gave support to the villagers when they gathered in Mariamman Thidal for this event. They conducted jallikattu as per their tradition because it is a part of their Pongal festival and a spontaneous event. 

May be. Jallikattu in remote areas bust have gone unnoticed. So are the cockfights and other such traditional sports elsewhere. But can you deny the fact that cruelty towards animals is justified ?

That is why I had suggested animals to be replaced by humans. Have you noticed how mercilessly the tail of the bull is pulled by the Tamils in Jallikattu . Now someone will tell us that the bull is tamed to not feel the pain.

Animals are also living things like human-beings. They also have pain like us. Never do such cruelty towards animals for our enjoyments. I am totally against using animals for sports and other activities. Time is up to stop such horrific and unacceptable festivities from the earth. 

I agree.though the law has stopped Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu , no one cared about the ban. In other places, law implementors, simply looked the other side. Ban on cruelty towards animals, proved to be ineffective.

Supreme Court has refused to lift the ban. What will the BJP ans AIADMK do now, with elections round te corner the only issue was Jallikuttu, now which other issue will they raise?

When the apex court banned the traditional sport of the villagers of Tamil Nadu, people are in anger. Angry Jallikkattu supporters are going to boycott the upcoming election. All political parties in Tamil Nadu are in tension because they want the votes of people to win the election. The villagers gathered together and decided not to support the leaders of any political parties for canvassing votes in the election period and not to involve in political activities.

Because of this vote bank politics, India is not progressing with the right speed. Politicians have divided our communities on the basis of religion and caste. Our country now needs clean politics.

Though there is a ban on Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu, I'm reading from the media, that the ban is no way effective in the rural areas of Tamil Nadu. Akin to this, ban on cruelty towards animals in other states like AP , Karnataka, and Assam, continued as if there is no ban. What's the use of such ineffective bans ? In this regard, I must say, the respective state and Central governments are a failure in implementing, the all important ban.

Politics and religion are totally different. I don't know why people are making political parties on the basis of religion. The great men who constructed different religions in the world were not politicians. So we need to take every steps to stop the formation of religious political parties. We want political parties and not religious political parties.

If the government give support to the people, it is not possible to avoid such evil practices from our country. Government never encourage such practices for getting more votes to win the elections. 

For any welfare measure, both the government and the people should work together.People, Leaving everything to the Government and washing off their their hands in a democratic set up like India, is undesirable. It should be remembered strength lies in unity.

Now voters are being divided on basis of cow, bull, pig, goat etc. @rambabu thinks democratic set up is there in India!

Democracy was not there at one time. That was during the regime of Congress. During that period democracy was mocked, mutilated and raped. Now the government brought  Democracy back. Courtesy, BJP.

True, Britishers ruled over India for 100 years by divide and rule, same congress has followed for more than 60 years, but now the Indian public being more educated and aware has thrown away this party.

What convoluted logic is being spread. For love of one party you do not have to spread lies about another party which also was voted to power in exactly the same manner as was BJP. It is preposterous statements by @Rambabu.

Except for short spell of internal emergency proclaimed during Indira Gandhi's premiership, the Congress era cannot be considered as undemocratic. Even during emergency, Indira Gandhi did not divide people on basis of religion or caste  But the fascist Hindutva forces are now subverting democracy by attacking minorities as well as authors/ rationalists and lower castes. This is worse than short spell of internal emergency proclaimed during Indira Gandhi's rule. 

Well said @Gulshanji. For some the sun of democracy has arisen in May 2014. Before that it was all darkness. How ungrateful can many be.
