"Jallikattu" - Our traditional cultural values














Dear animal welfare association and animal lovers, if cows are harmed because of Jallikattu, then why the hell do you allow the people to eat goat, chicken, fish and all types of sea foods in India? Let’s ban everything. But the bitter truth is that, there are a lot of facts hidden behind the animal welfare groups opposing it. It seems they have invested a lot of money to ban our ancient sport. Just imagine, who are all the people helping those welfare groups? What are the actual things hidden behind this? There are lot of doubts arising.


Jallikattu is an ancient sport. The seals of the Indus Valley civilization depict it, which is proof that this sport was in vogue 5,000 years ago. Ancient Tamil poetry, known as Sangam literature (2nd BCE – 2nd CE), has many detailed references to EruThazhuvuthal (hugging the bull). The fact that English colonial administrators have also written about Jallikattu tells us the sport was played continuously down the ages.

























People from Tamil Nadu see Jallikattu as their life, more than just sport. It’s our identity and traditional values. Our pioneers want to save our native cattle breeds, and they want to reproduce more cows, bulls to save agriculture and milk production. That’s the main reason they brought the sport in the name of Jallikattu or Manjuvirattu. Bullfighting was common among the ancient tribes who lived in the ‘Mullai’ geographical division of the ancient Tamil country. Later, it became a platform for display of bravery and prize money was introduced for entertainment. Slowly all the people in the respective villages considered it as the biggest pride to win in the Jallikattu  hence, many bulls are specifically identified, trained and nourished for these sporting events, and their owners spend considerable sums on their upkeep. Through this, indirectly they are saving,Kangeyum, Puliyakulam, Tiruchengodu, Bargur, Palamalai, Umbalachery, Alambadi and a lot more. At one time, there were lots of people killed and injured but now everything is regulated and you can put restrictions if it hurt the animals; we are ready to incorporate the rules. Just imagine, if they stopped this sport, it will result in the owners starting to sell, and to stop raising the bulls which will destroy all the species. It affects agriculture, farmers’ lives and ultimately our milk production.Despite knowing all these facts, why is the central government showing so much interest in banning our ancient sport? 

There are only two views about Jallikattu. Those who know what actually Jallikattu is about, why our ancient people follow that strictly, will support it. But those who don't know what actually Jallikattu is all about, just say the save cow, don't hurt animals, blah, blah, simply opposing it. Speak, support, argue, but before that educate yourself. When horse riding and racing is considered as an entertainment and sport, how come “Jallikattu” is harmful to animals? Before opposing the sport, please go to the villages and see how we treat the bulls. We respect, love, placing them in equal of God and treat them way better then PETA or any other animal welfare groups. Because we know the real worth of it. We never use any of the breeds to export to the foreigners for money and have never been a part of cow slaughter.


It is really more painful, hurting when the people from our own country, without knowing the history of jallikattu, opposing it simply because of “we are Tamizhans”. When we were struggling in chennai floods, north media busy in projecting the Bollywood heros, heroines, amirkhan’s intolerant statement and counted the number of husbands of indrani mukerjea. When we were killed in our own sea areas, they projected it as “Tamil fisherman” but sundarpichai, arrahman, vishwanathan anand become Indians. Why there are lot of partialities? But I’m not saying about all my brothers and sisters. Markenday katju replies, we never forget. To my entire fellow brothers and sisters who considered tamizhans as aliens, please don’t forget, India’s biggest strength is diversity. 

I believe Indian judiciary system is fading day by day, given their judgement. The days are not much far when the people start following their own rule, irrespective of the judgement. When a guy gets Rs. 10,000, a sewing machine and is stated as a minor after brutally raping and killing a girl, an actor is set free even after lot of evidences against him for drink and drive, killing the person, all the corrupted politicians set free only because they have power and money, why the hell do we need to obey their bad judgement? So here, there is no value for honesty and goodness. Money and power plays a vital role in the Supreme Court and all the high courts.So, who are the real culprits behind this ban? Why is it that lot of Indians got selected in Miss World and Miss Universe continuously from ‘94 to 2000 and why has no one got selected after that? Yes, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Corporate companies play a vital role in every possible way. Some corporate companies want to enter into India in beauty products, so they have used the Miss World and Miss Universe titles as their key. Now they want to enter into the milk production business. So they are slowly destroying whatever they feel are the main hindrances in the name of animal welfare association. But mostly the people and the media projected only the outer layer, the hidden facts always went unnoticed.

Milk is about 85% water. The remaining 15% is the milk sugar lactose, protein, fat, and minerals. The protein portion is 80% casein and 20% whey. Whey does not coagulate or make a curd as the milk acidifies. Beta-casein is 30% of the total protein content in milk, or about 30% of the total protein content in cow’s milk.


There are actually two kinds of milk in the world today. One is from an older strain of cows, found predominantly in France, Asia & Africa, with a few herds in Australia and scattered elsewhere around the world. These cows purportedly produce milk with the original beta casein protein, which the author claims is easier to digest and confers the health benefits we typically associate with dairy consumption. This milk is being called A-2.The second and more modern kind of cows allegedly produce A-1 milk. It’s claimed that a mutation occurred around 5,000 years ago that caused these cows to produce milk which has a beta casein protein that has mutated ever so slightly, to create a peptide called bcm7 that acts as a powerful opiate. This slightly mutated beta casein has a propensity to break apart during digestion, rather than holding together like its A-2 cousin. The fragmented protein can penetrate the gut lining and enter the bloodstream, and it is thought that this has a deleterious effect on the human body.The beta casein proteins found in milk are supposed to stay in your intestinal tract, but it is claimed that the fragmented casein from A-1 milk breaks through the gut barrier and enters the bloodstream, where it wreaks havoc on pretty much all the organs of the body. Some are attributing a long and varied list of serious conditions—ranging from juvenile diabetes to heart disease to autism—to this casein incursion into the bloodstream. 
























Now our breeds produce A2 milk which is digestible and have lot of health benefits. We don’t want to import any breeds or depend on any country for milk production. Still some statistics claim that India is one of the largest beef exporters. Milk is one of the most essential parts of our daily foods. So now, they want to make us dependable in milk production. How will they achieve that by banning Jallikattu kind of sports? Imagine Jallikattu being banned for life time and the owners having to selling their breeds. This will reduce our natural cattle breeds. As time passes, we will be need of bulls to increase the cow production and also for farming. Then we shall start depending on other countries. They will export bulls which may be injected breeds.  As time passes, mutation might occur in our cows and they may be become A1 or A1/A2 hybrid which may create a lot of health deficiency. So more pharmaceutical companies can enter into India to recover this health deficiency and permanently we will be dependent on the UK, US or European countries on A2 breed or injection to converting our herds to A2-producers.This is not only an assumption, this is the way the corporate have entered into India in all ways. Once upon a time, The East India Company entered and started to invade India. Now corporate again is targeting in all ways to enter India, trying to destroy all our traditional values.

But why central government showing more interest to ban our ancient sport? The answer is simple. If you want to destroy the language, then destroy all their culture and ancient traditional values. Then make them dependable.Why is every political party in Tamil Nadu strongly showing so much support towards Jallikattu this time, though it never happened last time too? The answer is simple, TN state elections in the coming May.So who cares about our traditional values ? It’s in our hand, your love towards animals become null when you start bargaining for extra chicken and mutton piece with the shop owner. If you really are concerned about animals, then you don't have the right to touch any living creature on earth.Don't let the corporate enter into milk production by banning Jallikattu, which is actually harmful to the cows. More than that, it’s our ancient sport, Tamizhan traditional values, courage and more. It's every Tamizhan’s responsibility to save our traditional values. #‎ISupportJallikattu#‎WeNeedJallikattu
