The elephant story has twisted facts, no signs of pineapple found after an autopsy but India is a nation where locust, elephants, cows and monkeys deaths are communalised. No one talks about the death of 600 cows in a BAREILLY gaushala No one raises eyebrows when 300 nilgais are buried alive in bihar. "Being human is given. But keeping our humanity is a choice." - Anonymous Did you know? In a recent incident, a herd of elephants was walking along a river when a young one spotted a man in it. The man knew how to swim, but the baby elephant, perhaps thinking that the man was in danger, stepped into the river and swam towards the human to protect him. The elephant, a child himself, was determined to safeguard the human. How kind! But what about the 'humans' by birth? We bulldoze their homes, confine them to cages, kill them for ivory, and ride them for parades and shows. That's how we treat a being that has seemingly infinite kindness, even for its oppressors.
