Right, there was a protest in Chennai not a month ago to lift ban on Jallikattu(a local sport) and the local Govt passes a law in a week to allow this. but the protesters refused to leave the place(beach) after all the demands were met and eventually it got ugly, a police station was set on fire and the Govt had to use force.
- baby 10y ago> Jallikattu (a local sport) Holy shit, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_bOtexFNXo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_bOtexFNXo > a Bos indicus bull is released into a crowd of people and multiple human participants attempt to grab the large hump of the bull with both arms and hang on to it while the bull attempts to escape. Participants hold the hump for as long as possible, attempting to bring the bull to a stop. In some cases, participants must ride long enough to remove flags on the bull's horns. I love learning about new sports like that.
