Yours is offbeat raising some pointed questions. Mr. Christopher's point on cross breeding was interesting.Luckily the agitation was peaceful despite the huge crowd and emotive issue.<br />I hope many in these parts would be viewing today on the tv happily the taming of the bulls.KParthasarathihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02189924874350906456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7269219202790509435.post-80356770525338132062017-01-20T22:52:49.946+05:302017-01-20T22:52:49.946+05:30I too wondered when things got viral.

Aren't there scientific ways to determine a suitable bull for breeding? <br /><br />The purported use of Jallikattu to improve breeding sounds hollow considering that the more serious problem of diminishing gene pool of native cattle breeds like Ongole, Gir and Sindhi are not given adequate attention both by the Government and NGOs. The indiscriminate cross breeding of desi cows with foreign breeds in the quest for high milk yield and quick profits is creating a looming disaster for the dairy industry, environment & economy. These exotic cross bred cattle are vulnerable to local conditions & expensive to maintain.<br /><br />Your take on your Tamil identity vis-a-vis your view on Jallikattu seems to be a part of an underlying narrative today which goes something like, "If you don't agree with me, you don't belong to us." <br /><br />Made interesting reading as usual and keep on writing Meera.<br />Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07301090483025279360noreply@blogger.com
