Villagers in the southern Indian
state of Tamil Nadu hope to celebrate the New Year harvest festival
later this month with traditional "bull-taming" contests once more.
"Jallikattu" is an sport that has been practised in southern India for
thousands of years, but was banned by the Supreme Court in 2014
following objections from animal rights activists. For the first time in
centuries no events were held last year.
Now, political parties
and supporters of Jallikattu hope the government in Delhi will
promulgate a special act to bring back the contests in time for the 2016
season in mid-January. Photos by J Suresh. Words by Anbarasan
