00:00 The fight for the lion starts in Tamil Nadu.
00:02 This tradition has been going on for many years.
00:05 In the very populous South India,
00:07 this fight for the lion is known as Jallikattu.
00:11 The fight for the lion started in the middle of the Tamil Nadu's Thanjavur district, Jallikattu.
00:16 This is actually a game.
00:18 The real rule of this game is to control the small lion in a small way.
00:23 Like the sun farming of Spain or bull riding of America,
00:31 Jallikattu is a very dangerous game.
00:34 And that is why, the police are not given the responsibility of the game.
00:39 Madhagatta has 600 lions in this game.
00:44 The game of Sonaja is about 2500 years old.
00:47 This is one of the most dangerous games in the world.
00:54 The rule of the game of Jallikattu is to control the lion.
00:58 Whoever can do it will win.
01:00 Of course, many people are involved in this game.
01:03 And even die.
01:06 Many people died in the game of Jallikattu from 2010 to 2014.
01:14 Then, the case was filed in the Supreme Court.
01:18 But, many people opposed the game of Jallikattu in various places of the state.
01:26 In 2017, the ban was lifted.
01:30 Then, the Tamil Nadu government gave permission to play Jallikattu on the condition of a contract.
01:36 After three years of ban, Jallikattu is finally back.
