This seems a struggle far from our hills. I read of Jallikattu and see only a dangerous spectacle where young men and bulls are hurt—such violence has no place in our festivals. My own heart, as a mother, cannot bear to see any son needlessly risk his life for sport. When my boy was small, even a scraped knee from falling off his bicycle would make me tremble; how much more this? Some traditions, beta, need to be let go, like old leaves that fall from my cherry trees.
