I have a doubt now.. Should Tamil Nadu people care for whole of India when Indian government doesn’t care them.? I’m sorry for above statement because I cannot blame 2.1 billion people for the few governing India. But seriously why does Indian government care Tamil Nadu as if it is an illegitimate child ??
Jallikattu:
Jallikattu also called as Eruthazhuvuthal or manju verattu is a Tamil cultural event of controlling bulls which are unleashed at the starting point. These bulls are specifically bred for these events. Those bulls which could not be controlled are taken as winners and they are used in breeding with cows whereas those which could be controlled easily are used in other farming and agricultural purposes. Jallikattu has been a pride and cultural function held during festival of Tamil Nadu, Pongal.
Suddenly during past two to three years, an animal activist group called PETA is against this event stating that this event brings harm to bulls which are being put in game. That is where the major question lies. Why did PETA suddenly start caring about bulls? What is the difference between Spanish Bull fight and Jallikattu?
Actually for a fact, Spanish bull fight involves in stabbing the bull with weapon called as lance whereas jallikattu involves people climbing over the morrillo region and trying to control it without harming the bull. Now which one causes the harm to bull and why PETA does not question or complaint against them??Many cricketers and bollywood actors have signed petition against this issue. I have a doubt. How many of them even know what jallikattu is about?? Not many. There lies the politics in it.
India has been very rich in dairy farming, exports of milk products etc. When jallikattu is completely banned, then farmers wouldn’t spend money in raising bulls, which in turn would reduce the number of cows, reducing dairy farming and at last destroying the majority of dairy farming in India. This will also allow foreign companies to export dairy products to India increasing India’s import and attacking our GDP. There is saying that this is the main reason why PETA has been very much active in this problem.
This has agitated many Tamil people, especially the youngsters of the state. There were many posts against PETA in social media websites. Not just posts in social media platforms, people used this platform to collaborate common venues and arrange rallies in support of Jallikattu and against PETA.
Pongal Holidays:
Supreme Court on Monday announced a decision to move Pongal from ‘compulsory holiday’ to ‘restricted holiday’ . This decision irked a major tension in Tamil Nadu. This consecutive issues over Tamil Nadu’s culture has created a huge political question, “Why is always Tamil Nadu treated badly by the Central Government??” First Jallikattu, then Pongal!! Attacking the culture of a state is very cheap..
Canada declared January to Tamil Heritage month while Prime Minister of Malaysia has already spoke and greeted about Pongal and its specialty. This speaks the power and respect of the cultural function of Tamil Nadu in world . But what is happening in India??
There is always an inequality seen between South India and remaining of India in favor of the latter. These issues add fuel to the flame.
Does the topic seem correct now ??”Is Tamil Nadu an illegitimate child of India??”. Hope it does. Now it is up to people of Tamil Nadu to decide what has to be done and what not !!
VAAZHGA BHARATHAM..!! (LONG LIVE INDIA..!!)
