In an ideal world that should have been the case but then the system itself a quagmire, a labyrinth of legal preview, wherein political pests are more concerned about their vote banks and don’t want to hurt people’s sentiments by putting an end to a ‘cultural festival’. They need a loud cry that deafens them before they put their pen to paper.

If only they had the eyes and more importantly the conscience to have acted against the cruelty.

There is a reason why India has moved onto civil games and curbed down on violence in the name of upholding traditions. Cleansing rituals of society have got rid of malpractices like Sati, child marriage, female infanticide True that an occasional case would surge up every now and then but that doesn’t showcases that crimes should be committed in the name of traditions. Why does India cry hoarse when there are cases of honor killing? Why not keep up the ‘heritage’, ‘traditions’ and ‘culture’. Why not keep up the old practice of appeasing the saint and the satan with human offerings?

It’s funny, the crimes we commit in the name of religion,customs and traditions.

Talking of healthy games, if violence is the answer for a strong built, why not go the good old way and let astray the young men in a coliseum with swords in their hands. May the best man win. Slay and survive.

Thanks for the comment Vinni.

I haven’t been to one of these fights in person but have read, heard and seen enough of this violent ‘game’ on various mediums. The kid for sure didn’t deserved the ill fate but then can the mutilated bull be hold guilty? No.

These days people grow sharp in mind but don’t survive even to touch their early 50s and 60s. 🙁

India is the youngest country with majority of “ill-health” youth … Shame on Us 🙁
Just the Youth count in India doesn’t help anyway. Only “Healthy” youths contribute to country’s growth and values.

“Westernization” had replaced ragi and maize (for that matter, any healthy food) totally from our plates and the indians are turning brittle at bones and bald at heads 🙁

Youth should prefer such games atleast in future and using bulls for sports just for a day in a year wouldn’t endanger its living through out. When countries like Spain still encourage
“Bull Festival”, India too should preserve its home-born games and sports …

With stupid aged ministers in the cabinet, bringing up a healthy India is still a Day Dream 🙁

Exercise India …. Exercise !!!!

Jai Hind !

Thanks Buddy & Ginger 🙂

How I wish humans realized that the fangs of pain are felt by fauna too(In a world where human rights have gone for a toss.) Yet, as long as there is breath — there is hope. Human beings befriending fauna & flora, now that would be Utopia on earth.

I love your blog and I’m not saying this merely to return the compliment. Strangely,dogs are still honest despite being in the company of men for ages 🙂
I have blogrolled you and wish to develop a great bond.

Let’s play frisbee!
