ஐல்லிக்கட்டு - The fight peaks!!

Call it the Arab Spring or the anti-hindi agitation in 1960s, it is happening again.

People turning out in numbers in support of Jallikattu are doing so not out of compulsion but out of sheer emotional connect and the very native grit.

The gathering is massive and state-wide. This was the time where we had to push ourselves waiting for none. Imagine. And we did. The unison is against the country's highest judiciary. An act condemning the central and state government’s failure to act swiftly. And more importantly against an organisation that has no idea what it has brought upon itself in the name of animal welfare. 

More often than not, such issues bring with it a conspiracy.  Claims of tricky trade are doing the rounds. Whether it's a fact or a myth is a debatable topic but we can wait it out for another day. The need of the hour is to earn back our most valued possession - the native sport and the values attached.

For now, let's let the world know. We pride our culture. We won’t let go of our identity. December 2015 saw us united when the worst of floods hit us. Yet again, when all hopes seemed lost, united we are; standing together and making a mark of our own like ever. Reflects as to nothing can come in our way. Not natural calamity, not even supreme court.

It’s only fair that law should not rob people off their tradition and rights but to protect it. Law can't tame culture. 

If a ordinance can be brought overnight to demonetize currency, why not one respecting sentiments of millions. The CM is answerable. So is the PM. Let’s reach out to more and claim back what's rightly ours. After-all everyone deserves to have what's theirs.

A special note of mention and tons of thanks to all those who keep their stance in continuing to support while I still write this.

Jai Hind!!!
