Jallikattu  

Kamal Haasan has done it again. Recently, in an election rally, the actor turned politician said, "I am not saying this because many Muslims are here. I'm saying this in front of Gandhi's statue. The first terrorist post-India's independence is a Hindu. His name is Nathuram Godse." But this is not the first time that the actor has courted controversy.

The traditional game, Horibedarisuva Spardhe, is similar to Jallikattu in Tamil Nadu. One person was gored to death as he  came to watch the sport

Public pelted stones at police and firemen after they were asked to end a Jallikattu event. The clash injured several people and policemen. The cops took 25 people into custody for interrogation.

A total of 1,354 bulls were released to the sporting arena and 424 tamers were ready for the game at Pudukottai in Tamil Nadu. However, two spectators were killed and 31 injured in the event

100 bulls were gathered for the grand Jallikattu event in Tamil Nadu's Vellore. One of the bulls named Villain died in a freak accident.

The Supreme Court had banned Jallikattu in 2014. But after week-long protests in 2017, the Tamil Nadu government passed an amendment to the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 allowing organising of Jallikattu with restrictions.

 
 

About 475 of the 512 qualified bulls managed to enter the field within the permitted time of 8am to 4pm in Tamil Nadu's Avaniapuram village.

Rajeev Chandrasekhar told MyNation that the Sabarimala row was being used by the left government of Pinarayi Vijayan in Kerala to deflect attention from its own acute failures in governance. The first look of Bollywood actor Vivek Oberoi as the Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is out and it is hard to recognise the actor. All this and more on MyNation in 100 seconds.

Pongal in Tamil Nadu is also the season of Jallikattu, their traditional sport. While villages prep for the grand event, young boys practice the Palakkuvadi Jallikattu, a junior sport that helps them rehearse to become great bull tamers of the future.
 

Pinarayi Vijayan's move to let women enter Sabarimala in the middle of the night through the back door is a cowardly act. Devaswom Board is anti-Hindu. But the Ayyappa devotees have a two-way approach to fight this legally.
