Jallikattu
I am going to (I’m not kidding) file a suit against the Supreme Court of India for hurting the religious and cultural sentiments of the Tamils.

What the hell? Jallikattu is nothing but exhibition sheer cruelty towards the poor animals. The bulls are made to drink arrack (alcohol) and chilli powder is sprinkled into their eyes to make them ferocious. The bulls are subjected to enormous cruelty before and during the competition. Moreover, human lives are also lost and scores are injured.
We must stop this barbaric and cruel acts. We must also stop shielding these act of ours under the umbrella of religion & culture. No religion says you can treat anyone (whether human or not) with such cruelty.
I am with the Supreme Court. Lets stop this Jallikattu business.

Oh…instead of the bull…why don’t you run..with people pulling your hands and pouncing on you from everywhere?
You feel hurt…what about the bulls?

Karthik: The supreme court and a bunch of people who have very little connection to Tamil Nadu and its tradition dictate how we run our lives.
Swati: Um. Can you be a little more intelligent when commenting here?

I am sorry but yours is not a valid argument. You have totally lost the point as to what the Supreme Court is trying to do. People like you feel that the Supreme Court should not tell you what to do because you feel it is affecting your prestige. It is a typical attitude of “who is he to tell me what to do and what not to do?”
These people (in favour of this “Sport”) are trying to protect their false prestige under the false shield of religion, tradition & cultural sentiments.
Also understand one thing, elections are around the corner in 2009 and Madurai belt is a crucial area for the ruling party (Stalin vs. Azhagiri). Why I am mentioning this here is that all protests are politically motivated by these political parties and it is easy to provoke people like you on the likes of religion, culture and tradition.

[...] IBN reports. I would wait for a more reliable source to verify. But this is not bad. I might even hold back my suit. Posted by Chandrachoodan Gopalakrishnan on January 15th, 2008 | Filed in Uncategorized [...]

Hmm Karthik, won’t it be better for the animals if no one killed them for food? So if the supreme court decrees tomorrow that to prevent cruelty to animals every one should become a vegetarian, will you accept it?
And tell me one thing, have you ever seen the cruelties that you describe in detail? Have you ever been to a Jalli Kattu?

Chandru, please make this Karthik person’s IP public. I have decided to sue him. Much easier target.

Chenthil: A bit of a stretch, that argument. Still…
Nilu: Vidu vidu. Long time, close friend and all.

Ravages,
Why is Chenthil’s argument a bit of a stretch? Because it conflicts with the already existing laws that don’t allow people to hunt animals for pleasure when ‘allowing’ consumption of non-vegetarian food?
P.S. Why, hunting down animals surely must also have once been some sort of culture thing, no?

Nilu: Why take the pain of tracking me through IP Addresses. Chandrachoodan can give you my full postal address. You can get your summons served at that address. Cheers, Karthik

Nilu: I shall introduce the two of you. Then do all you want.
Swati: Thank you. I shall also try be more intelligent than I am already. Though, I am afraid this blog will then become beyond the reach of normal, regular people. What to do?
Karthik: One meeting shall be arranged.

Mudiyathu. I only want IP.
