Unwarranted protest

Unwarranted protest .
Protest in Tamil Nadu in support of Jallikattu is unwarranted. As Jallikkattu is a coarse sport cruel to animal and man, thousands of young people, who demand an end to the ban on Jallikattu,  are misinformed and misguided. The Supreme Court in its May 2014 order had banned Jallikattu, saying that bulls cannot be used as performing animals including bullock-cart races.

The common complaint among the protest leaders that the Supreme Court had insulted the Tamil culture by disallowing the sport, is not standing. The ban is equivalent to ban of of 'Sati ' in which a hapless widow has to give up her life.  Here in this cruel sport also many human lives along with that of animals  are lost. The support on Jallikkattu by Actor Kamal Hasan and music director A R Rehman, is based on vested interests.
