Jalikattu - The Indian Bull-Fight


Recommended Posts

Posted

This was a sport that originated in the Indus Valley Civilization so that women could choose worthy husbands. Take a wild and well-nourished bull, throw in a few overtly-enthusiastic young men, and tell them to wrestle the bull down one-by-one or else they can’t win their bride.

Spanish matadors at least have the insurance of being armed and the option to kill. In India you can only wrestle Lord Shiva’s favourite animal but not kill it.
