Thousands protest against ban on Indian sport involving bulls

Thousands of protesters have gathered in the south Indian city of Chennai for a second day of demonstrations. It's in support of a cultural sport which involves bulls. People have also been protesting here in the UK. They say the ban is an attack on Tamil culture and are critical of the animal-rights group, PETA, which says all aspects of the sport is cruel. Nomia was joined by Simran Srinivasan, a law student who has organised the protests in London, and also by Nikunj Sharma who is the Government Affairs Liasion at PETA India.
