The Jungle Book -Revisted


rohit
Once upon a time in a jungle, wealthiest among all, lived a tiger. The king health was waning, and the tiger started gaining power. His rise was attributed to teasing and sending away of poor animals who came from neighbouring jungles and those who did not supported the law of the powerful. The Lion never knew the tiger would become so powerful that he would undermine the Lion. The Lion himself encouraged the tiger for his smaller benefits. The tiger’s thirst for power was insatiable. His followers grew in numbers, and his policy were echoed throughout the jungle. The tiger became the real KING.

Time went by, and the tiger became weak. Other animals slowly realized his policy was not good, and on the other hand those poor animals helped the state only. The larger cause was being sacrificed for the purpose of the jungle.

The tiger had two sons. One of the son got estranged from the family an with his supporters restarted buzzing out poor animals with a new vigour. The chote tiger seemed to be the next bade tiger. Now to gain control, the bade tiger had to do something. He started driving out poor animals again. But, chote tiger garnered as much publicity as he could with that. That idea was passé.

And he came to an idea. Why not oppose the game of the people. The game of the people was very popular in the whole forest. Bade tiger issued fatwa against people of rival forest taking part in the game. There live a famous goat- the target, who was loved and admired over all the jungles, not only friendly but also rival jungles. His “may- may” was acclaimed throughout the world. The goat family had a great history, his father being a fighter against the oppressors. Bade tiger charged him with heinous crimes like anti-forest, of belonging to rival forest; while the goat only promoted peace. But the goat raised his voice and in the jungle also, he garnered support. The animal did not want another publicity gimmick by bade tiger…………

The story is still waiting for the end. But now it is our time to act. It is our time to realize whom we support. It is our time to be judicious. It is our time to decide whether we want another tiger to rise again. It is Our Time..
