The game of ‘Jallikattu’ is more than just a leisure recreation. The sport is a cultural and customary tradition of Tamil Nadu aimed at preserving the vitality and agile strength of the indigenous livestock
Tradition of Jallikattu finds mention in Sangam manuscripts and is known to have been in practice throughout Tamil classical period from 400 to 100 BCE. Therefore, state govt of TN had to come up with the amendments in 2017 to nullify ban imposed by 2014 verdict of Supreme Court
Customary practice of Jallikattu is an intrinsic cultural right of the people of Tamil Nadu and the courts should abstain from playing with the sentiments of the people as animal rights are being curtailed throughout the globe on many counts.
