Jallikattu supporters of Kolkata has something to tell about their concern of banning the traditional festival. Bullfighting is a 400-year-old tradition in India and, as in other countries where the sport is popular, it attracts a lot of negative publicity. In 2014, the Supreme Court in India banned the four-century-old Jallikattu event that attracts thousands during the Pongal harvest festival in the state of Tamil Nadu, as a “barbaric” way of treating animals. It upheld the ban in 2016. Jallikattu is different from Spanish bull-fighting as the bull isn’t killed, and the man does not use a weapon. An agitated bull is set to run in an open space. Several people, empty handed, try to tame it by controlling its horns. The winner gets a prize, which is generally tied to the horns of the bull. Only men take part in this game. Betting is also common. Supporters of the sport, say native cattle breeds will face a fight for survival as a result of the ban. Jallikattu (or sallikkattu), also known as eru thazhuvuthal and manju virattu, is a traditional spectacle in which a Bos indicus bull, commonly of the Kangayam breed,[2] 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. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9LiG9WPxl8

Close to 70% per cent of Indian women risk getting severe infection, at times causing death, due to poverty, ignorance and shame attached to their menstruation cycle. The silence and shame around the menstrual cycle has caused severe problems for girls. In a survey conducted in 2011, it was revealed that in north India, over 30% of the girls interviewed dropped out of school after they start menstruating. Reproductive tract infections (RTI) were 70% more common among women who were unable to maintain hygiene during their menstrual cycle. This kind of cultural neglect of menstrual hygiene is reflected in policies as well because a larger number of adolescent girls (between 12-18 years of age) miss five days of school due to lack of toilets for girls. Taboo around menstruation has started to be seen as a threat to health and many people are willing to break this silence. In the exploration of the origins and basis of menstrual taboo, we have looked at the perception of menstrual cycle in different cultures and religions. The root of almost every perception seems to be patriarchy. - Youthkiawaaz #Padagainstpatriarchy #Happytobleed Music Courtesy: ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rd_ZFr_6Z-0

The day you will laugh, the day pain will become your strength. The day you loved,The day I Iived. The lyrics of Katra Katra is no doubt raw porn, and thats how it might be portrait in the upcoming horror movie 'Alone'. I was not waiting for the film. But the song touched my heart in a way that even knowing how lonely I am, it just felt like we were never separated. We were always in our thoughts. Ankit Tiwari is a real talent that Indian music industry has got recently. This boy knows how to mix classical with electronics. He knows how to bang with a pump. Separation and other sins was an old idea, what I have been through for such a long long time. Very few people who knows me, only they can catch the theme. But I hope lot of them like me will find their own stories. Thats what fun is when you shoot a film. I hope nobody gets a life like this. Not everyone can survive. subhasish christche 21/12/14 ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cpXpPy8ckXE
