Jallikattu - "Eru thazhuvum engal veeram" more than just a sport

What is Jallikattu?

During this sport, a running bull is released into a crowd. The participants try to ride the bull for as long as possible while attempting to make it stop. In some cases, they must ride to remove the flags affixed to the bull’s horns. To encourage more youngsters to participate, there are prizes for the event. At the end of it, the tamed and weak bulls are used for agriculture and other domestic activities whereas the untameable bulls are used for breeding purposes.

Cultural significance

Jallikattu was practised during the Tamil classical period as seen in sangam literature(400-100 BC). It was common among the ancient people Ayars who lived in the ‘Mullai’ geographical division of the ancient Tamil country. Bos indicus bulls are bred specifically for the event and attended mainly by many villages’ temple bulls. A temple bull is like the head of all cattle in a village; special rituals will be performed for this temple bull during important days.

Why is PETA India, Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI) and other animal rights organisations against jallikattu?

From what is talked about throughout, when these bulls are extinct the only way to breed is by Artificial insemination which is taken care by MNC’s and that too wont carry on for too long as the original genes will be lost out and weaker offsprings produced leading to Extinction of whole Indian breed. This brings into picture, import of foreign breeds like Jersy, which yeilds more milk and are inclusively positive for Corporates!

This is the same way our native breed dogs were killed in the blanket called Street dog Clearance… Now all we own in the name of pets are foreign breeds that would not survive a second day without packed dog food that is sold by another MNC… Just think what we are letting our country into…

Why is it important for Jallikattu to prevail?

The bulls that do not get tamed during Jallikattu are used for breeding. This is to ensure the use of the strongest and the most virile bulls, thereby making the offspring also stronger, more resistant to diseases, and able to produce higher quality milk. This is the traditional and only practical way that the farmers in the state see to be able to preserve the genetic strength of indigenous cattle breeds. The bulls which can perform well also fetch the farmers higher prices in markets. This makes the event even more valuable for them.

What is the argument here?

There are two types of beta-casein protein which are the dominant casein proteins in cow’s milk: A1 and A2 protein. Majority views at the moment is that A2 milk is more beneficial than A1 milk. In India, there are 37 native breeds (there were 150 a century ago), and of these, 36 have the A2 protein gene in them. A1 protein is said to result in many chronic illnesses. Jallikattu helps in preserving native breed if all these native breeds become extinct. We willthen have to interbreed and rely heavily on artificial insemination. Artificial insemination is an expensive process, and we rely on semen imported from countries like the US, Australia, Denmark and New Zealand from Holstein and Friesian bulls and other such breeds known to have A1 protein as the dominant gene. This essentially means that our generation and future generation will then have to live with milk rich in A1 protein and also the associated problems like Type1- diabetes, autism and so on. It will also lack the genes that are required for it to adapt to the climate and local changes which a native breed has in higher proportion.

“In TamilNadu, breeders rear bulls with the intention of showcasing them in Jallikattu. Most of the farmers can’t afford to raise these bulls and are hence reliant on these breeders or on the common temple bull which is reared by the entire village rather than a single breeder. The bulls that fare well in the Jallikattu arena are in constant demand for servicing the cows. So we can think of Jallikattu as a marketplace for these bulls.” says Madhusudhan Srikkanth, a converted supporter of Jallikattu. Madhusudhan was once a vociferous supporter of the ban and felt PETA was right. But, after researching and reading more about the situation, he felt that the people were right in their way to want to continue the tradition.

Is there more than what meets the eye?

“This brings into picture an MNC, A2 Milk Company with a presence in US, Australia and New Zealand. This company holds patents for trivial things like genetically testing whether a cow has an A1 gene or A2 gene. But what is disturbing is that they own the patent for artificial insemination of A2 gene bull’s semen. They hold the patent for this method which causes A2 gene to become the dominant gene as opposed to A1 which happens naturally. It suppresses the dominant tendency of A1 gene. Now if all native breeds in India were destroyed, then we may have to either make do with A1 milk or we may have to pay a hefty royalty to A2 Milk company for using its patented technique to produce cows rich in A2 gene. This is what is bothering most of these cattle breeders in TamilNadu. The question that is being raised is that when our breeds are perfectly capable of producing A2 milk, why must we force ourselves to be a slave to some other MNC company holding a patent for this. They also accuse this MNC of funding PETA which is unsubstantiated. But this organisation has been donating generously to PETA in US, Australia and New Zealand which is suspicious but doesn’t establish that they are behind the protest in India”, says Shrikanth.

What can be a plausible solution?

‘Amendment in Prevention to Cruelty to Animals Act.’ Animal Welfare Board of India (AWBI)– Authorised inspections to be conducted and regulated by them during the event. Section 11/3 – to remove the ban on Bulls from using them in traditional and cultural practices. Section 11N- remove Jallikattu from animal fighting (it is not a fight) Special Rule No. 27 – Made for Military, Police and Scientists, add Bulls under special section. Or, to pass an ordinance to allow Jallikattu in the state of Tamil Nadu

“The Animal Welfare organisations are like critics or speed breakers and must be there to ensure the safety of the animals when the event is conducted”, says Bharani Sivakumar, a supporter. “When it comes to critical events that stand between the biodiversity of the country and culture of the people, do make the demands fair for both the animals and humans. Let there be more strict regulations, heavy monitoring and keep as many CCTV cameras in all corners. Penalise or ban those who break the rules. But do not demand the prohibition of the entire event. Please come out of the anatomy of an animal that you already know and walk into the ecosystem of a village where everything is mutually dependent and stay with them for few months if needed, to understand their culture and the lifestyle of the bull in the remaining 364 days.”

All said and done, what we see all over Tamil Nadu today is not a protest, but an uprising of sorts. It is the fourth day of the protests and there seems to be no slowing down rather its growing in numbers and in Strength. The coming together of masses non-politically and in an organised manner with the help of social media for a common cause is noteworthy. And i am proud to be part of it. #SaveJallikattu
