bullet Hundreds gather to watch buffalo fight in Jharkhand village corner

Shukla (Jharkhand), Oct 24 : Hundreds have thronged Jharkhand's Shukla village to witness the traditional buffalo fight.

The event is organised every year by the villagers after they are through with their agricultural activities.

The fight is a means of entertainment for the villagers and also a show of strength of the buffaloes.

"All of us are very hardworking people and after getting free from the agricultural activities, we organise this buffalo fight. This fight is a show of a buffalo's strength. It is a test to see how well a person has kept his buffalo," said Duryodhan Mahato, a villager.

The villagers start preparing for the event well in advance.

Around eight to ten youth work really hard on one buffalo to prepare it for the fight.

The buffalo is well fed and exercised to keep it fit for the fight.It is a part of our tradition and means of entertainment for us.

Around eight to ten youth work really hard with a buffalo to prepare it for the fight," said Madhusudan Mahato, another villager.

This year there were around 20 buffaloes that competed in the event.

The Buffalo Breeze is essentially a local Buffalo newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Buffalo, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.

The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.

We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
of the news we deliver.

Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Buffalo, New York, the United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Buffalo Breeze.
