BULL FIGHT And Biryani Controversy

Indian Villages are known to host festivals and games of varied styles. Domestic animals are integral part of our farming communities. Tamil Nadu and Karnataka southern states of our nation have their own heritage with respect to folk culture. Our villagers don't have pubs, malls, sporting clubs or cultural clubs to celebrate festivities. So they depend on rural set up and amenities available in their vicinity to entertain themselves and families. 
One such sport is 'Jalli Kattu' aka Bull Fights organised in Tamil Nadu rural areas during Pongal festival is now being Banned citing Animal-Violence involved in it.Opinion of Kamal hasan noted cine artist on this issue seems reasonable, As he has clearly brought the difference between Spain Bull Fights and Jalli Kattu of Tamil Nadu. The people involved in Spain Bull fights torture the animals by breaking their horns. While Tamil Nadu farmers worship cattle and do not harm them. Though Mr. Kamal Hasan's remarks that "Ban Biryani too" is an exaggerated one Compared to the type of Celebrations we have now a days in cities in name of New year and Birthday bash, 'Jalli Kattu' is far more decent in my opinion.

Sankranthi Festival in Karnataka

Pongal is synonym for Sankranthi festival of Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. During Sankaranthi festival farmers in Karnataka worship cattle and decorate these cattle herds with flowers and celebrate the festival through FIRE-JUMP Sport of these cattle herds.Though it is not a fight, here also the cattle herd gets frightened to participate in this sport. If the Govt. is so concerned about animals they should also Ban Derby Races in race courses which is lucrative sport for Government in form of revenue.
Similar sport involving Cattle is hosted in Coastal Karnataka region called Kambala, an adventures sport where a Race is arranged between cattle in wet paddy fields. An exciting sport of Karnataka and Coastal Karnataka which is a ICONIC Sport of this region.

Even some Villages in India are known to host Cock-Fights during Festivals and fairs, where people get involved in gambling through these birds.

Friends, city people enjoy in Electric-HUKKA (Smoking) bars Pubs and live-bands and no one is ready to ban such activities citing the reason Night-Life and Recreation activity for hardworking urban folks should be facilitated. But Rural folks who want to entertain themselves in their spare time are told to obey orders of court and Animal Protection acts come into play.
