People who do not hidentify with the culture in different part of the country and who are influenced by the westerners &their beliefs,practices were the members of ythe previous AWB members appointed by the corrupt UPA.True,these persons are full of contempt for anything pure Indian. That’s why they banned Jallikkattu,which is in fact to identify the robust native oxen to preserve the native variety of healthy cows and oxen.All the previous Board members did was to play into the westerners plot in eliminating local variety of cattle’s and instead or western cross versions of Jersey cows which are inferior, not suitable for Indians. Perhaps the UPA had smelt money in this process too!
