Check out his Tweets here:
Looking at the cows & roosters in my farm made me to think about the Ban of #jallikattu & #kodipandem in Dakshin Bharath.
Ban on Jallikattu and Kodipandem by government of India is an attack on Dravida culture and its integrity; this is how it is being viewed in Dakshin Hinsustan. I had observed this deep hurt in people of Daskhin Bharat while I was shooting in Pollachi and during my political interactions in Andhra, about the ban of their respective cultural events in recent times.
Govt of India, cited 'animal Cruelty' as the reason for the ban of Jallikattu and Kodipandem. If we truly consider this puritancial approach then, we have to examine the stastics of #Indian Beef Export and Indian Poultry industry.
India is the largest exporter of Beef in the world; 2.4 million tonnes of Beef & Veal exported by India in 2015, where as Brazil and Australia could export only 2 and 1.5 million tonnes. And beef exports fetches almost $ 5 Billion with 14 percent growth rate every year. And interestingly, these top beef exporting are owned by Hindhus and not muslims.
