Govt changes in TN, no noise in MSM. ===== Supreme Court Constitution Bench to continue hearing pleas challenging Jallikattu and similar activities today.

Haven't done research, but Chittoor's culture is heavily influenced by Tamil Nadu, I usually say chitoor guys are Telugu speaking Tamils. It is safe to assume Chittoor guys have been having jallikattu for the same period of time. But when we into interior andhra, different types of bull...

I think some places in andhra also do it. https://www.google.co.in/amp/m.indiatoday.in/lite/story/jallikattu-andhra-pradesh-chittoor-chandrababu-naidu-makar-sankranti/1/857858.html?client=safari

Ask Periyar and his followers...........

Kambala race visuals from newsx channel, the racer running along with the buffalo is clocking 11.26 seconds for approx 100 mts. India national 100 mts record is 10.5 seconds. The kambala guy is running barefoot in ankle deep muddy water, even tougher. Maybe somebody should try to find the guy...

That's the basis for Dravidian movement.

Yup, I feel the same way. Except for Manipur, usually seven sisters align themselves to the party in power at the centre.

Jallikattu debate has pushed demonetisation debate out of the media limelight, and with that our two favourite anti-demonetisation stalwarts are no where to be seen on the forum. I guess they will be back whenever AAP or congis are in trouble. By the time jallikattu debate will be over, UP...

Maybe this is the reason the new ordinance is not made public yet, so that the other side does not get a stay order tomorrow. Having said that SC is behaving in favour of govt ever since new CJI took over. There are enough instances in last two weeks.

Media wise, BJP is loosing the game big. Media is not even giving them an inch.

Hope senior intelligence official is not RSN singh. OTOH, I did see Prabhakaran posters Among the crowd yesterday. It was shown as a passing shot on TimesNow, but it was there.

Times now is saying ordinance has been signed.

Folks at CNN are using the words "tradition" and "customary" quite liberally(pun intended :) ) for what is basically a political ceremony with a legacy of little over 200 years, and over here lakhs of people are protesting to save their tradition which is more than 2000 years old.

yes but, at best there would have been the usual drama of submitting memorandum to the centre and all that stuff. such a movement would never happen.

i wish two points come out of this situation: 1) all those animal welfare board members involved in the banning in 2008-09, i wish someone would investigate office for profit during and after retirement for those fellows. 2) The point that our culture is being stripped away bit by bit, i hope...

if jayalalitha would have been in control of the situation, there is no way such a mass movement would take place.

That woman Ambika from peta who is coming on TV debates, it turns out she is sister of Menaka Gandhi. And have a look at how she is interlinked into Lutyens elite.

IMO modi should not get involved in this matter. For long in many issues, politicians took advantage and made careers for themselves. I hope jallikattu remains people vs SC or people vs PETA. Politicians should stay away.

On the ordinance part.. Heard from somebody that the madras HC judgement is the reason ordinance is not easy this time. Before the judgment, ordinance was easy hence given in 2014/2015. Giving an ordinance this time is a complicated matter because many laws have to be incorporated. Perhaps...

True. But this would be the first time in along time that people themselves are standing together to protect culture. Hope this movement emphasises on banning of PETA also.
