For many like 32-year-old Maran, a resident of Allanaganallur, taming a bull is the way to prove their valour and masculinity. "From the time I was a kid I was brought up those telling me that to be brave is to tame a bull. Jallikattu has been part of our lives for thousand years now. I want it back as so that someday my grandchildren will be bull-tamers too," says Maran.
