WHEN THE ARENA CALLS, PASSION OUTLIVES LOSS
February 01, 2026
|The New Indian Express
LOUD cheers erupted from all corners of a jallikattu arena in Madurai as young men grappled in the dirt with furious bulls, attempting to grab them by their horns.
Manirathinam's bull charges through the arena during a jallikattu event at Alanganallur in Madurai
(SHIBA PRASAD SAH)
Rising dust and heightened excitement filled the air even as several tamers suffered heavy blows, proving their bravery. Like many others, M Manirathinam, a perseverant teenager, also held the course, until a bull horn blackened the vision of his left eye forever. Yet, what followed is not a heartrending tale, rather one filled with sheer resilience.
Twelve years down the line, Manirathinam begins his day with quiet determination in a small house in the heart of Madurai city. Though his boundless love for jallikattu cost him an eye, this 28-year-old former bull tamer adapted himself to the new reality, with no room for regrets. Keeping his chin up, he found a way to preserve his passion a path of guidance.
