Case (20 Marks)
This case is about the bullfighting
sport Jallikattu, which was popular in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
Jallikattu was traditionally played during the annual Pongal celebrations and
had a lot of cultural significance. But activists alleged that the sport caused
a lot of deaths and injuries to both the bulls and the participants. In
response to the protests against the bullfighting sport, the Supreme Court of
India banned Jallikattu in May 2014. However, the government of India had later
lifted the ban on Jallikattu. Some sections of society and most of the leading
political parties supported Jallikattu and argued that it was part of south
Indian culture. But activist groups said that they were determined to continue
their fight on bullfighting. In January 2016, India’s Ministry of Environment
and Forests (MEF) issued a notification allowing Jallikattu, a bullfighting
sport popular in the south Indian state of Tamil Nadu, to be held during the
annual Pongal season. Jallikattu had earlier been banned by the country’s
Supreme Court in response to a petition by animal rights activists. The
decision of the MEF was flayed by animal rights groups who alleged that there were
political motives behind the order. However, all the leading political parties
in the state denied that there was any political motive and said their support
for the bullfighting sport was for pure cultural reasons. Despite the calls to
ban the bullfighting sport, Jallikattu received support from some sections of
society which considered it as a symbol of south Indian culture and tradition
