When the bull is snoring (or sneezing but not revealing its natural talent) then what does one do? Hold it by strength, to prove that human strength embedded with intelligence and power, can suppress the bull. That is the sport and spirit of Jallikattu, which is not copied one as alleged by the Singapore senile. Sangam period is BCE 300. Bullfighting was introduced to Mexico about five hundred years ago shortly after the arrival of Cortes and the Spaniards. According to Frommer's Travel Guide, bullfighting in Spain traces its origins to 711 CE, with the first official bullfight, or "corrida de toros," being held in honor of the coronation of King Alfonso VIII. Once part of the Roman Empire, Spain owes its bullfighting tradition in part to gladiator games. Jallikattu is also known as Yeruthazhuvuthal, Madu Pidithal and Pollerudhu Piditha The bull fight dates back to 400-100 BCE and Jallikattu reportedly got its name from two words Jalli (valuable coins) and Kattu (tied). The Supreme Court banned Jallikattu in 2014 but later the state passed an ordinance to allow the event in 2017. Later, SC upheld the TN government's law permitting the sport in May 2023. So there are verses in sanga ilakkiyam. Only a fool will write such nonsense , as that old haggard, in Singapore, does not possess any know-how, or anything and has grown 98*365*24*60*60 seconds of dead clay. KR IRS 19124
