the Jali Kati on JALLIKATTU

Since Jallikattu is making a lot of news and a getting high TRP rating than our very own Gopi Bahu and when our newspapers started publishing blasting articles on it, I was busted.And the limit reached to its end when I read an article over it in the Indian Express.

       Being a traditional sport specially of ruler Tamil Nadu where people raise their livestock specifically for this events.Jallikattu is performed every year in the month of January on the occasion of Mattu Pongal,marking the new year.Bos Indicus breed of the bulls is used in this event.
           Various organizations which are working for the protection of animals were against this sport.Why it was so?As animals are teased by using several pointed sticks and spears which is used in order to poke in their body,Chilli peppers are put in their private parts and in their eyes,pulling their tails sometimes beating them ,all in order to instigate them ,to prompt them to run for their life.
                                               Only one man at a time is allowed to fight or capture the bull by its hump only.
So what face has this fight over Jallikattu has taken?Government is trying to ban the sport for the sake of protection of animals and state wants the ban to be removed for the sake of their age old tradition.State Government is giving permission for the performing of this event without the consent of  Supreme Court which has banned this sport.
 Traditions are good to follow but not blindly on the cost of lives.Things are changing for better only.You are kind of teasing and hurting the animal in order to prove your bravery.Nah, its not right.
Strange is that no big leader is raising any voice against it.

Mayavati: Playing the caste card

Yesterday Hon’ble MP Ms. Mayavati stormed off the Rajya Sabha, saying that she was not allowed to speak or more accurately “She was stopped from speaking on the Dalit issue.” This is absolutely not done. Being the MP from many years and she knows the protocol that any person can continue his/her speech even when the warning bell rings. She was given nearly 3 minutes to keep her point and as soon as it was over she lost her temper and accused that she was not allowed to speak on the Dalit issues, so she is resigning from the Rajya Sabha. And surprise moment was when Congress and others also left the Place with her. Hon’ble Mayavati Ji has done a lot of work on the upliftment of the conditions of the Scheduled castes specially, by building parks and statues. Caste is the very sensitive matter in a country like ours. And being a responsible leader she should be well aware of the consequences of her this actions. And if her resignation would be accepted than she should al

Travelling on a local train.

It was nearly when the train arrived,entire station was crowded,people with their boxes of tomatoes and bags of potatoes and cauliflower were all ready to launch themselves as soon as the train stops.When the train arrived there was a huge commotion.People doing everything to get inside it and everything to get out of it.They were kind of stuck.                  When you enter in the compartment you will feel like being a king of somewhere,walking over the crunchy skin of peanuts making a crackling sound giving a pseudo feel of the arrival of 'Maharaja' of some whatever State.                       Okay after all the bags,cycles,boxes and people are loaded the train moves. Note:the train has to cover only a distance of one hour more from the express train's point of view. But since it is a local train. What you found inside, a lady all comfortable,stretched all over the seat and giving "who cares "kind of look to you.And next seat is all occupied by a dirt
