‘Jallikkattu – Tamil Traditional Bull Fight’  Ban;

Is the Supreme Court Aware of the Derailing of the ‘Nation Building Process’?

“All national parties seem to ignore the fact that, had 1857 India’s war of independence succeeded; India would be now under the rule of more than 50 kings…………. The Indian nation building process, after the independence in 1947, was subordinated to the selfish interests of the ruling parties at the centre, helping the regional chauvinistic parties to grow………  Also the role of corruption, exploiting both the real and distorted grievances, in the growth of regionalism, separatism and terrorism, interlinked by the foreign funded NGO activism, challenging the nation building process, deserves the urgent probe, followed by the viable, pro-human, remedial measures.”

(‘Is BJP aware of the derailing of the Indian nation building process?’; http://tamilsdirection.blogspot.in/2016/07/normal-0-false-false-false-en-in-x-none_18.html )

People voluntarily respecting the rule of law will ensure the right governing of a country, focusing all the resources towards developing the country; only when the constitution was framed by the representatives, elected by the people, through universal franchise.

Indian rule of law is based on the Indian Constitution. Unfortunately the constituent assembly consisted of members, elected during the British rule, and that too with limited franchise. A review of the constitutional assembly debates will reveal disharmony, revealed in the debates and voting in the language issue, in which, the chairman, Dr.Rajendra Prasad, deviating from the respectable neutral stand, had cast his vote, to force Hindi as the official language, which, in turn, helped the DMK, supported by Rajaji , the last Governor-General of India, to capture power in TN, in 1967 and, with Rajaji’s support, passed an unanimous resolution in TN assembly, rejecting Hindi, as the official language.

Also we witness the state govts disrespecting the court orders w.r.t the inter-state disputes, as a dangerous signal, adding strength to all the forces, aiming to derail the nation building process.

Already debates had started highlighting the pitfalls in the present constitution, and the need for new constitution assembly following the proper democratic process.

The Supreme Court, functioning on the basis of the constitution, has a delicate responsibility, w.r.t the tradition related issues, to pass enforceable orders.

The opposition to the Supreme Court ban ‘ Jallikkattu’ – Tamil Traditional Bull Fight’  Ban, is spreading like a wild fire, challenging the Supreme Court order & also the law enforcing authorities to enforce the order. 

‘PETA India, based in Mumbai, was launched in January 2000. PETA India operates under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on or use for entertainment’ (http://www.petaindia.com/about-peta/ )

Can the killing of bulls, goats & hens for non-vegetarian food, be stopped by a Supreme Court Order, in case PETA India approached the court with that prayer?

When humans undergo hardships during training and performance to entertain, why not animals?

We need to ensure the well-being of both entertaining humans and animals with good food, shelter, medical facilities & reasonable remuneration, in the case of humans.

In fact  the traditional street entertainers undergo  more hardships in training and performance, like the stunt men during the making of the films, than the bulls, participating in the ‘ Jallikkattu’ – Tamil Traditional Bull Fight’.

More than the bulls, the human beings chasing the bulls, as well as the entertained audience, are more prone to injury and death, warranting more safety measures.

Will the ‘ Jallikkattu’ – Tamil Traditional Bull Fight’  Ban, violate the protection to the social and cultural rights, ensured in the universal declaration of human rights?

‘Everyone, as a member of society, has the right to social security and is entitled to realization, through national effort and international co-operation and in accordance with the organization and resources of each State, of the economic, social and cultural rights indispensable for his dignity and the free development of his personality.’

The differences in the paradigm w.r.t animal welfare are being debated in the western world. (https://books.google.co.in/books?id=5uElBAAAQBAJ&pg=PA196&lpg=PA196&dq=paradigm+differences+in+animal+welfare&source=bl&ots=4YJlMezQE_&sig=ZvNCLkTU5K2Yae9Gr603egRLBzQ&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi5hsjcu7TRAhXKQY8KHa5LBhIQ6AEIIjAB#v=onepage&q=paradigm%20differences%20in%20animal%20welfare&f=false )

Did the Animal Welfare Board of India follow Indian paradigm? Or a particular kind of Western paradigm?

The Animal Welfare Board of India is a statutory advisory body on Animal Welfare Laws and promotes animal welfare in the country. Established in 1962 under Section 4 of the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960 (No. 59 of 1960), the Animal Welfare Board of India was started under the stewardship of Late Smt. Rukmini Devi Arundale (https://awbi.org/?q=node/1 )

Was Smt. Rukmini Devi Arundale aware of the Indian traditional paradigm of animal welfare? Or did she fall a prey to the Western Paradigm?

Was there any probe into the misusing of the western paradigm w.r.t the human rights and the animal rights by the foreign funded NGOs, to derail the Indian nation building process? 

Will ‘ Jallikkattu’ – Tamil Traditional Bull Fight’  Ban, ‘resurrect’ the Tamil separatist forces, now on the death bed?

All those, interested in strengthening the Indian nation building process, shall find viable answers to rescue the country from all kinds of conspiracies.
