Here's hoping that our indigenous stunters reach such levels of professionalism soon !
Thanks for the appreciation.

There are talented people amongst indigenous stunters as well. But it is not something which is considered a "good" thing. These are cultural differences. If you check, you will see that there are governing bodies for Motorcycle stunters. Space is given to them for practising and developping this as an art form and innovating newer stunts! We are a FAR cry from that at this moment. Whatever our stunters do, they do it purely on personal efforts, with almost no or little help from others, and in hiding coz one might end up in jail! Coz our culture does not provide the space, metaphorical and real, to develop such forms.
