26. The popular traditional bull-taming sport
called Jallikattu, is majorly celebrated in which
of the following Indian State?
(a) Tamil Nadu
(b) Karnataka
(c) Telangana
(d) Andhra Pradesh
Ans:(a)
Explanation:
It is a traditional bull-taming sport organised
in Tamil Nadu during Pongal. Also known as
Eruthazhuvuthal or Manju virattu, the sport
involves a natively reared stud that is set free
inside an arena filled with young participants.
The challenge lies in taming the bull with bare
hands. Ideally, participants try to grab the bull
by its horns or tail and wrestle it into
submission. A few also tend to latch on to the
bull by clinging to the hump at the back of its
neck. The participants are usually young men
in their 20s.
The practice dates back to as far as 2000 years
ago, according to a few historical accounts. It
mainly was active in the districts of Madurai,
Tiruchirappalli, Theni, Pudukkottai and
Dindigul of Tamil Nadu until its ban in 2011.
Organisers of the event argue that it is closely
associated with village life and the bulls are
specially reared for this purpose. Breeders
often claim they treat the bulls like their own
children and spend large sums of money
towards their upkeep. Many participants,
however, are either fatally gored, trampled or
mauled by the bull.
