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 canโ€™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 Shivaโ€™s favourite animal but not kill it.
