Jallikattu Premier League: The reality about the sport

Bull taming sport is not only a leisure sport for Tamils but a tradition that establishes the identity of hard-working, self-sufficient and powerful Tamils. It symbolizes a cordial Man-Animal relationship.

Jallikattu helps in identifying superior bull breeds for mating and gene preservation. Those bulls that win the sport are selected for mating, while the other remaining bulls are used for farming activities.

The valiant bulls promote native breeding of cows which is a staple source of A2 Milk. The bulls are used for plowing, transportation, farmyard manure, organic treatments like Panchagavya, Jeevamritham that are used as natural pesticides to keep the crops free from disease and enrich the yield and the soil.

Jallikattu is not just a simple display of bravery during Pongal, as many seem to think. It is a deep-rooted issue connected with the need to preserve the native breeds of cattle in Tamil Nadu.

It is important for all to understand the fundamental aspects of preservation of indigenous breeds of cattle and the larger implications the issue has on the cattle wealth of the country and more particularly TamilNadu.

These are the justifications for the initiative of JPL. This will certainly remain a conducive platform to sustain our culture blended with science to be a valiant, powerful, and productive society to the country and the world as well.
