I think they should ban bullock and buffalo driven carts as the first thing. There is nothing more inhumane than forcing a poor bullock to carry 15-20 tonnes of load here and there.

We should link such festivals to tourism/cultural heritage to showcase Indian traditions/diversity. Don't know if GOI use our unique colorful festivals in tourism calendar and adv or not.
Abhrahmics have nothing unique to offer in this respect. I mean people will go to islamic or Xtian country for the same instead of india. Since banya hindu gives lot of respect to money, there will be automatic resistance to change :biggrin2:.

they do advertise the festivals; perhaps not all are covered, but they do. hoardes of phoreners coming here to see and enjoy 'all the colours' is one testimony to that.
Not a single bull has died in this sport over last 2 years . However, Salman can kill people sleeping on pavements and get bail because Bhairoxx, Being Human etc. Hope BJP stands by Sabrimala and Jalikattu against Delhi elites and prove the Dravidianists wrong, but I know it can't happen.

An apology of jallikattu was put up with and every one went home satisfied. No real jallikattu ,i.e bull taming this year. Bulls just ran here & there then they were caught away from public eye.

The Abrahamic war on Paganism has been perfected over the centuries and the recent ban on Jallikatu is a direct consequence of this old and perfected missionary tactic. One of the essential stage during the spread of Abrahamic religions over the world has been destruction of paganism from Europe to Latin America or Africa. And the best way to kill paganism is to strike at its root by disconnecting the natives from their roots i.e. turn sons against father, society and native religion. The cookbook of turning people against their forefathers has been refined over the centuries by these imperialistic religions. But how do you disconnect the people from their roots?
The best way to achieve this objective is to chop down on native social traditions ranging from festivals, feasts, sacrifice and every social activity which defines the local society. Sometimes this objective was achieved in an overt fashion as exemplified by Mohammed destroying the idols of Arabic pagan Gods on his return to Mecca. With this single masterstroke, Mohammed completely disconnected the Mecca residents from their traditional culture which revolved around their pagan deities. Without common identity, customs and rituals to bind them, the old pagan society crumbled under Islamic barbarity in Arabia. If the sword was not powerful enough to censor ritualism, other mechinations were deployed to achieve this objective.
But Islam only picked up these techniques later, much after when Chritianity had used them for several hundred years and was already a prominent religion. So, it is important to look at the methods used by early Christians to destroy pagan societies and see whether Jallikattu ban follows the old Church template. The only difference being that now western governments use secular institutions like NGOs and think-tanks to denounce native practices and de-link people from their traditions. Such societies then become easy fodder for the proselytization attempts by the Church.
The suppression of Olympic games by the Church
The ancient Olympic games were the most important part of Greek identity but in 380 AD when the emperor, Theodosius I announced Christianity to be the official state religion of the Roman empire, the Olympic games became the first victim of zealous Christian clergy. In 391 AD and 392 AD, Theodosius I further issued edits to outlaw the pagan practices of sacrifice, libations, garlands, and divination throughout his territory. This would prove to be the final nail for the Olympics, celebrated in honor of Greek God Zeus, and other sports in their outwardly pagan forms. Finally in 426 AD, Emperor Theodosius II finished the work started by his grandfather and burned down the Temple of Zeus and other Olympia buildings including the great stadium of Olympia.

Look how RSS has gone full retard now: http://www.firstpost.com/politics/r...-in-temples-is-unfair-says-sangh-2672586.html
RSS sings a new tune: No entry for women in temples is unfair, says Sangh
Restriction on entry of women in any temple is "unfair" and managements in the temples doing so should change their mentality, RSS said on Sunday, against the backdrop of some cases highlighted through recent agitations in Maharashtra.
"Because of some unfair traditions, at certain places there has been a lack of consensus on the question of temple entry. Such sensitive issues should be resolved through discussion and dialogue and not through agitations," RSS general secretary Suresh Bhayyaji Joshi said at a press conference in Nagaur.
"Women go to thousands of temple across the country but in reference to some, where their entry is an issue, there is a need to change the mentality. Management of such temples should also understand this," he said.

In the recent times, some women groups have been agitating for ending the practice of disallowing women to certain temples like Shani Shingnapur Temple and sanctum sanctorum of Trimbakeshwar Temple in Nashik in Maharashtra.
"Women have been learning the Vedas and also performing religious practices," the RSS leader said.
On 'nationalistic' education
After asking the government to check "subversive" elements indulging in "anti-national" activities in universities like JNU, the RSS on Sunday called for value-based and nationalistic education in an atmosphere of equal opportunity.
Asserting that the private sector was becoming aggressive in the education field, the RSS also pitched for a stronger regulatory body, possibly de-centralised to ensure quality education for all.
The RSS in the annual meeting of its highest decision-making body — Akhil Bhartiya Pratinidhi Sabha (ABPS) — passed two resolutions on education and medical and healthcare, while calling upon the state governments to make efforts to make these two sectors accessible to all the people in the country.
A resolution said the ABPS is of the opinion that every child should get "value-based, nationalistic, employment-oriented and skill-based education in an atmosphere of equal opportunity".
On Saturday the RSS asked the central and state governments to "deal strictly with anti-national and anti-social forces and ensure the sanctity and cultural atmosphere by not allowing our educational institutions to become centres of political activities".
"Privatisation and commercialisation of education has created difficulties for the common man to get their wards quality education. Quality education should be available to all at an affordable price," said Anirudh Deshpande, Akhil Bhartiya Sampark Prakukh of the RSS at the press briefing on the second day of the three-day ABPS meet.
He said a strong regulatory body was needed in the country to take care of it and to "control the private institutions". "Though we have a regulatory body, but we need to strengthen it and if required, it should be decentralised."
Deshpande claimed with the course of time, governments are also withdrawing from the sector of education and budget allocation is also reducing. "Governments are withdrawing and the private sector is becoming aggressive which has made the situation problematic for the student. The government should increase budget allocation for education," he said.
"The government should strengthen the autonomous self-regulatory mechanism for the education institutions in terms of their quality, infrastructure, service conditions, fees and standards so that its policies are implemented in transparent manner.
"It is utmost essential to ensure proper training, appropriate salaries and strengthen the dutifulness of the teachers to enhance their standard, both in state-run and private schools," the resolution said.
"Quality medical facilities should be available to all at affordable prices...There is also need to spread the medical education, inclusion of other branches like Ayurveda and Unani is also required," Deshpande said.
In the resolution, the RSS has appreciated free medicines schemes initiated in some states. "The schemes of free distribution of medicines started in states in last few years and the proposal made for 3000 generic medicines centres by the central government in the recent budget are welcome moves.
The ABPS also called upon the country's industry groups, voluntary and social organisations and charitable trusts to further come forward to make facilities available for people. RSS Chief Mohan Bhagwat, BJP President Amit Shah and other leaders were present in the meeting which began on Saturday.
RSS turns tables, furthers women's issues
The RSS report called traditions like restricting women from entering temples a 'loft tradition', adding further that men and women are equal in spiritual and religious matter, said a Times of India report. Earlier a journal linked to the Sangh had listed reasons as to why women are barred in temples and the need to understand those reasons.
The report emphasised the importance of public discourse on such a 'sensitive issue' adding that agitation and politicization of the issue is unnecessary.
The remarks in the report came after chief of Bhumata Ranragini Brigade Trupti Desai and a group of women were denied entry into the inner sanctum of the Trimbakeshwar temple in Nashik, said an IBN Live report.
Further, the report asserted that a change in mindset would be facilitated once social and religious leadership along with the temple administration join hands in bringing the change.

And the cycle starts again.
http://m.timesofindia.com/city/chen...onduct-of-jallikattu/articleshow/56419460.cms
Pongal is just round the corner ...
The same crowd that pays to watch bullfighting in Europe where the bulls are repeatedly stabbed and dies a slow death, take selfies, and upload to face book will protest this like clockwork.
I was in HarbourFront last week. That's a kind of famous hang out spot in Singapore. When I heard a singaporean Tamil girl talking to a hijab clad Malaysian woman about how inhuman and barbaric jallikattu is. It was absolutely pathetic. The degree of brainwashing even among Tamils is mind boggling. I wonder what would have happened if she asked that Malaysian woman to remove her hijab... the dumb Tamil would have realised the extent of her stupidity.

Those who will give benefit of doubt to Congress-I yet again are mentally sick. Those of would still moan at twitter accounts of known Congress-I tools they follow with a hope of change of their hearts are nothing but shameless pathetic creeps.

Couldn't agree more, but the problem with the modern world is there are too many dumb people and people with vested agendas and they get a say in absolutely everything. Both feed off each other and ruin everything. How can they be stopped though?

Stuff like this is a good start. Massive crowd supporting jallikattu at marina beach. But we Definitely need to do more
