jallikattu
by kalyan ram on Jan 15, 2008 10:50 AM   Permalink

the jallikattu happening nowadays is utter rubbish....jallikattu in original was conducted as one man taming raging bull.....it is an celebration of one man's valour taming an mighty bull....but whats happening nowadays?....a 100 people jointly taming an poor bull .....is that called an valour?....if they really want to celebrate jallikattu there should be one man with bare hands v/s a raging bull.....how many of them have the courage to face an raging bull with bare hands?....jallikattu is an classic example how our ancient customs and traditions were corrupted over the time especially in middle ages just like our caste system in ancient india over the passage of time got corrupted in to birthright....an hindu becomes an brahmin only by an proper training and realisation of god not by birthright...it was clearly mentioned in bhagavadgita....but over the time and in middle ages caste system became an birthright...castes brahmins, vaishyas, kshatriyas, shudras was like an professional thing just like engineers, doctors nowadays....but it got corrupted in to birthright...
