Majority of protesters and sponsors might not be ill-intentioned, but they were so eager to turn this whole event into a "Secular" one that they overlooked certain details. Few bad fish spoiled the whole pond. End result: Jallikattu has been revived but the movement lost it's face.

Few more gems (not vouching for authenticity): And this video:

Now imagine a video showing policemen thrashing this lady black and blue while the child is still in her lap. I would say that she totally deserved this, others might call it police brutality. I think that we are going to witness a trend of showing the Center and one of the South Indian states...

What does this say?

I am not justifying the police action, however, This is most probably retribution. Policemen attacked properties and houses in areas where they sustained injuries at hands of the stone pelting mobs. There exist a couple of such videos, hence I guess these are isolated incidences which occurred...

Police has broken the protests in Madurai, some protesters have been hurt, taken to hospital. Gloves are clearly off. I wonder what did these shady groups manage to achieve? May be they were not expecting the government to bow down so quickly, and tried to create real trouble so as to prolong...

Jallikattu has been won. Even if this looks like a partial victory, no government will ever dare to backtrack on this promise. The issue-based protesters had dispersed just after receiving positive response from the government, the troublemakers took over the protest venues.

So much drama to: Secularize Jallikattu Convert a fight for Civil rights into Tamil vs Union Finally, Tamilnadu received it's dose of Secularism. So many snakes were hiding from the watchful eyes of our law enforcement agencies. How could so many people get organized and work for particular...

This is a great lesson for the anti-social and anti-national elements, and also for the doubting toms at either side of the border. The protests fizzled out as soon as these fringe groups tried to hijack the events. The general Tamil public has firmly stood by the side of the nation. Experiment...

Protestors were planning to celebrate 26th January as "Black Day", the only place which will look black and blue is their butt after Police Lathi-charge. On the fringes of jallikattu protests, Tamil nationalism attempts to emerge From banners of LTTE leader Prabhakaran to slogans demanding a...

Hadn't I forewarned (post #502) about this yesterday? State government is going to bring in a legislation to turn the Ordinance into law. This is all the general public is concerned about now.

SC is slowly but surely transgressing into the domain of the Executive. Laws are for the people, not the other way round. Instead of unnecessarily meddling into affairs which have public interests the SC must focus on expediting the cases which are consistently piling up. Instead of Auditing...

@Krusty this is what @here2where is talking about. There are too many distasteful sentiments and content floating around on the SM which can potentially change the whole narrative for people who are watching the whole event from a distance...

Now there are demands for revival of Buffalo Race in Karnataka (KAMBALA). Maharashtra and Tamilnadu are just starters guys, real revolution is yet to come. I wonder how did Indians tolerate the left-liberal kabal for so long. Our culture was suppressed under the garb of modernization. After...

Keep the Jallikattu celebrations going, people have rightfully earned it. Keep fighting for the permanent solution in a democratic manner, including fighting it out in courts of law. The government has bowed down to the will of the people and is willing to find a permanent solution. Protests...

Remember what happened to the OROP junkies who kept their protests on despite government wielding to most of their demands? People stopped giving d@mn about them. General public knows when "enough is enough". Government has taken the first step in right direction. There cannot be a solution...

Muslims also joined the Independence Movement, we know the rest. This is an alliance of convenience. They joined the protest because they intend to use it to build a case against the Uniform Civil Code. Shady figures use such seemingly well-intentioned "spontaneous protests" to launch their...

Swamy is correct on several aspects of the protest: A. Prabhakaran's banners came up, so did Osama's B. Muslims and Christians joined the protest in large numbers, they were clearly visible (skull-caps and beards, cross around neck) C. People carrying Tricolor to protest got beaten up Most...

Is this true that people carrying Tricolor were beaten up by certain sections of protesters (read Muslims)? Such incidents require stringent action.

SC is aristocratic. SC is one of those institutions which still maintains the British traditions and doesn't want to change, the other one being the Indian Army. They carry forward the Brown Saheb tradition. Most of India's top journalists, lawyers and judges are educated in UK/US...
